2011 NYPD Reasonable Suspicion Encounters

Got a chance to check out the 2011 reasonable suspicion encounters for the "seven-o" precinct (which patrols Flatbush) and the usual suspects appear:
  1. Robbery was reported as the "top crime",
  2. While Americans of color account for 36% of the population, they account for 70% of "all known crime suspects" and about 80% of "known violent crime suspects",
  3. Whites, on the other hand, account for 38% of the population but only 10% of "all known crimes suspects" and a meager 5% of "known violent crime suspects", and
  4. While only 597 white persons were stopped by the police, 8737 Blacks were. This means that for every 1 white person, almost 15 Blacks are stopped.
