That's not my intention at all. I'm not saying anyone is good or bad. In fact I specifically say stop & frisk is a violation of the rights of those who are stopped. You seem to be assuming because I say it's a class issue that I think it's okay. It's not okay. Someone's income or outward showing of societal class should not mark them as a criminal. I don't think anyone should be harassed by authorities for their appearance, whatever their class, race, ethnicity, or whatever else.

What I am saying is that in my experience NYC police appear to discriminate more based on class than on race.
