NYPD Police Stop and Search in Harlem and Citizen commentary on Police relations

[iLLaNoiZ174]

i'm just waiting to kill some of these racist cops and their families they hate me and i hate them so lets get it on i'm more then ready been arming myself for six years now its go time

[miamivice32]

the days of jim crow wiil come too and very soon

[Amel22]

lol.....and they say white people are racist

[egeek10]

these are criminals - blacks make up only 12% of the population but make up 80% of the PRISON population - these are black criminals in the video and cops and a black racist

[eatcrack]

Most people who aspire to work for NYPD provenly suffer from Psychiatric Disorders, Intermittent Explosive Disorders, Schizoaffective Disorders, Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorders, Sexual Sadism, Gender Identity Disorders, and Post-traumatic Stress Disorders. And what the city does is give these types a badge/gun to patrol neighborhoods other then their own, then have the nerve to wonder why people don't like them and call them assholes! The city does a horrible job screening these Criminals!

[stringztoo]

Pure racism saying white shouldn't shouldn't be here in "our" community. Are you fucking kidding me? Imagine if a white pedestrian in Chelsea said, "we don't want those colored cops working here in Chelsea, they don't live here, they don't know us." You use big words to cover your idiotic commentary.

[MLGNiKe]

8 white nypd cops disliked this video

[w140king]

black people always want to play the race card STFU

[MrCadillacLover]

You people oppress yourselves. You act like all police are looking to arrest you. The minute you people look in the mirror and say I am the problem and take responsibilty for your actions thats when things will change. You occupy jails nationwide 5 to 1 of all other races combined, even though you only make up less than 14% of the nation. Fix yourselves then everything will fall into place. 

[ecuanegro]

yeah nypd is hunting all those drugs dealers you have on your community that all they know is to use drugs

[ArturoMartinez1997]

But what's the ratio of good & bad?

[DrVonChilla]

This guy is not seeing the real problem, which is the unacceptable behavior of a large number of the people that make up his community. The police have a VERY tough job. Walk into a hornet's nest day after day, you're not gonna get stung by them all, but I guarantee you'll soon be checking ALL of them out.

He ignorantly says that "white police" shouldn't be there.....so let's take it to the next step: let's pull ALL police protection from Harlem. Wow, I'll bet he'd like THAT scenario!!

[TheDanny241]

When I asked why I was pulled over... There answer was "what are you doing in this neighborhood at this time of night" (It was 830 pm). WHAT?????

[TheDanny241]

What about Black cops that harass white people?? I got pulled over by 2 black cops about a month ago and they must have called me "white boy" 4-6 times.. But thats ok right?? Listen, I love ALL people but I cant stand when black people think that they are the ONLY ones who get picked on!! Maybe you should leave Harlem for a week or two and watch the SAME STUFF go on in white neighborhoods!! I got pulled over and searched in Bushwick over 3 times (I work in Bushwick).

[BrownsvilleCrook]

@TheDanny241 I think police abuse their power PERIOD. No matter what they are and no matter what color you are, they will sometimes overstep their bounderies. I'm not saying every one of them do it...... but remember, most people in positions of power tend to abuse it 90% of the time.

[danny241]

@BrownsvilleCrook I totally agree with you! I'm also SURE that you get my point!

[silverton7777]

Questions why is it that you never see a successful majority black pop country? ITs all whites fault

[ernk72]

well if your not going to go somewhere else then become part of the solution this guy went on and on about nypd when their not the real problem self hate crime drugs education are the problems get those in order and your talking about a people that has what it takes to run this country.

[dirthead87]

It's not the police with the problem.

[cv10025nypd1]

if you are going to interview people make sure they are smart and have a job!!!!! omg where do you find these people. oh wait HARLEM!!!!!!!

[AllThingsHarlem]

Shame yes, but we need just a little bit more. We need control over these servants of the people, they need to know that they are not the masters but the servants.

[NEWS327]

SHAME ON THE NYPD!

[YouSuck2689]

listen to that ape...."I dont think white people should be here at all"...LOL.

The reason black males are always being busted is because black males are always fucking around....I think we all understand you apes just fine.

Now get a fucking job.....

[AllThingsHarlem]

@YouSuck2689 All of the research done by the most respected institutions in this country has shown that every group in this country uses drugs in proportion to their numbers in the population. Whites buy, sell, and distribute drugs more than blacks yet blacks represent over 80% of those stopped and frisked and imprisoned in this country. If these facts are true, and they are, why are white males who are "always fucking around" being arrested? Is it because of racism?

[mikee644]

come on some of young black boys,and i quote, are not innosnt...

[ernk72]

reality is brother that we are hunting one another dudes like this pain me the most because they know what the real issues are but lay blame on things that have nothing to do with nothing. we need to do this we need to do that could he tell me when smh but like alot of so called leaders in the community its just all standing on a soap box when something goes wrong then put it away til next time. keep waiting for the city to do anything for u aned ill keep waiting to win lotto lol.

[jaehood109]

You know what i think....Alot of these Stupid, Dumb, Savage black people Mess it up and Fuck it up for the other Good ,Hard working black folks! Thats why alot of cops cant stand the black community!

[AllThingsHarlem]

@jaehood109 You really think that the color of someone's skin is the cause for him being the target of policeman? Well, you are right. White people are the biggest drug dealing, drug using, drug growing, and drug abusing group in the country; from main street to wall street. You would have to be extremely ignorant not to know this. Eh! You don't want to know that, do you?

[jaehood109]

@AllThingsHarlem I never said that, and im not trying to be on anyones side. as a matter fact im latino im not even white :).. My point is if you take a look at the shit that i see in the streets of harlem you will now gather your thoughts and understand where im coming from. Dont get me wrong harlem is becoming much better civilized. But like i posted on my previous comment, most "GHETTO" black people screw every reputation for the Hard working ones that act and treat others the same way.

[aelcatracho]

this guy doesn't noe what hes talking about.

get of the weed

[PezkeyWabbitz]

ohhh please... black cops are more racist that white cops...

[AllThingsHarlem]

@PezkeyWabbitz Cops are cops. They wake up in the morning, their breath stinks, they stink, their wife will not feed them breakfast, then they put on that uniform and all of a sudden they are super heroes. Bullshit! They are just another broke back piece of shit with a gun, no different than you or I. They are no different than the Crips of the Bloods, a GANG--NOTHING MORE.

[jamil316]

we are already in a police state

[taino4281]

LMAO

[taino4281]

lol everybody hates the police in harlem. until they stop seeing us as "the gestapo", there is always going to be friction. what they dont videotape is all the people that sell drugs, and carry illegal guns in the streets. but yet everybody hates the police. You can talk about us, but you can't live without us.

[ed2276]

Let's give it a try living without you.

Police in America is a relatively new animal. For most of U.S. History we didn't have these large, paramilitary, tyrannical police organizations in America. We didn't need you back then, we don't need you now.

[haywood16]

WTF are you on?

[AllThingsHarlem]

@haywood16 TRUTH! WTF are you on? Can you read? Can you research? Can you think? Do you have ideas of your own? Who are you?

[AllThingsHarlem]

@ed2276 The modern police came into existence as a result of the end of slavery. When the plantation doors closed the prison doors opened. Our first police was the poor white trash that lived on the outskirts of the plantations and fed off of the goods that slaves could steal and share with them. They also were the slave catchers. Now their descendants are doing the same thing; they come from the uneducated and marginalized white community. The jobless and powerless. Those are the facts.

[dontcome2myhouse]

A gun in hand is worth ten cops five minutes away. Until NY becomes a Shall Issue State, we depend on you for protection ('we' as in those who choose to be possible victims of crime for the sake of obeying your senseless gun laws). You fuckers are manufacturing criminals; creating boogymen through calculated laws aimed at serving you, not us. I'm a white male who's law abiding and I've never once felt relieved seeing a cop in my rear view mirror. We need you because you perpetuate the need.

[ernk72]

@dontcome2myhouse then move to canda lol

[dontcome2myhouse]

@ernk72 I'm sure running away solves NOTHING. Great idea.

[AllThingsHarlem]

@dontcome2myhouse Beautiful! That is what bureaucracies do---perpetuate themselves. Prohibitions is one way of doing that. First alchohol and now drugs (something everyone uses).  The system creates criminals. Without law their is no crime, without crime there is no punishment.

[AllThingsHarlem]

@taino4281 you got that backwards, you can't live without us. You would be unemployed without us. The fact is we need one another.  The police are the servants of the people, all of the people. Their role is not to be the people's masters but to be the people;s servants. CURTESY, PROFESSIONALISM, AND RESPECT! Not bullying and gang banging people based on color or community.

[nycresistance]

Yet another excellent video, these undercover cop should go lock up the coke sniffing and meth smoking people in midtown. It is obvious they don't like blacks so they should stop the mascarade and stop pretending like they are here to protect civilians. They are here to protect the wealthy and ticket and arrest the poor. They call blacks savages forgetting they were chased out of Europe for their savage, violent and unpeaceful ways and they haven't changed one bit since then. 5 Stars from me.

[AllThingsHarlem]

@nycresistance The so-called pioneers that came from Europe to commit genocide on the Indians came from the prisons and dungeons of Europe. This country was founded by criminals, slaveholders. They wouldn't even give the vote to their woman or poor white men, they saved that right for white male property owners. Poor white people were no different than slaves. Their own value was in their use for fighting and dying for rich whites. Poor whites are delusional.

[LyonhartZ2]

You know what is most funny?

That the "Supervisor" there is an African American!! He is the guy in the black sweater

[haywood16]

Let the SAVAGES kill themselves. Send all the cops to civilized areas.

[ed2276]

Cops aren't needed in civilized, civil society. Where ever police go they will turn the civilized society of innocents into a society of criminals.

They will get law after intrusive law passed to criminalize even the most innocent action, like turning right on a red light, in order to create more and more criminals to justify police expansion and existence.

[haywood16]

Harlem is not a CIVIL society. Savages roam the street doing drugs, attacking white people, wilding. Without the police Harlem would burn.

[AllThingsHarlem]

@haywood16 Well, one thing is sure, you haven't been to Harlem. They have white women in shorts jogging up and down the streets morning, noon, and night. And, you know what, nobody gives them a second thought. Come up and take a look around. Oh, if you don't feel safe bring your gun, we are used to seeing white men with guns.

[haywood16]

@AllThingsHarlem Actually the NYPD is DIVERSE....its mostly non white men with guns. They have to be there because you can't act CIVIL. The black on white crime is ignored by the media and never labeled a HATE CRIME.

[JAYFROMHARLEM]

@haywood16 Have you ever been to Harlem? By your comment I can tell you haven't idiot.

[haywood16]

@JAYFROMHARLEM Yes I have divkhead!....are you blind or just stupid?

[JAYFROMHARLEM]

@haywood16 I am so glad that you can spell correctly. Since you supposedly have been to Harlem, how about you stop by where I live and I will show you "divkhead". People like yourself make me sick. You can hide behind your computer and talk shit.

[haywood16]

@JAYFROMHARLEM Ahhhh threatening violence...typical of low IQ.

[miamivice32]

@haywood16 white folks dont belong in harlem in the first place soo they need too get shot no crackers in the hood

[haywood16]

@miamivice32 WHitey created Harlemandruns Harlem. The animals live for free in the projects.

[sYnCrazyYello]

@miamivice32 most white people agree 100 % with you....lol

[wildki11er]

@haywood16 Attacking white people??? THAT IS BIASED! They attack the WEAK, PERIOD! I know this cause i'm a Hispanic who lives in the Bronx. I went to harlem plenty of times, and trust me, THEY ONLY GO FOR WEAK AND RICH PEOPLE! That includes you and me, not whites or mexicans or any color.

[haywood16]

@wildki11er Either way without the PO PO Harlem would burn to the ground. Besides they need the police to work and pay taxes to support their welfare!

[SomeGodIR]

You know, I agree. I think that the police should just pull out of Harlem and let them police themselves.

[ed2276]

Great idea!!!

And you know what? They will do a better job of it than the statist cops can do, because those in the neighborhoods who police their own communities will not see one another as "savages" or "animals" who need to be caged, beaten, and intimidated.

Let communities and private organizations police their own neighborhoods and change lives for the better, rather than destroy lives in the name of the law.

[quinony]

What has this black citizen who understands his own kind done to better the black community? How many people with guns have he taken away from the street? How many robbers have he arrested? These white officers don't even live in these communities, and therefore anything that happens in these communities in no way effects them or their families yet they go in day after day and arrest the scum of the earth and put their lives on the line for ungrateful idiots like this old jackass.

[RobNYYankees]

And this minute one of these "innocent young black men" that the police are "hunting" breaks into this old fool's apartment, he's going to dial 911.

[AllThingsHarlem]

@quinony You totally discredit any comments that you make. When was the last time you were in Harlem? Where did you go? Where do you get your information on Harlem? I'll tell you where, from mainstream media that gets all of its information from police blotters. You get crime reports that tell you only the negative, not the positive. Go to Harlem, take your family and friends, visit the restaurants, and shows, etc. Then come back and give us your opinion based on what you saw. Do that.

[scooniepenn]

@AllThingsHarlem He has a valid point. He's not saying Harlem is all bad, what he is saying, is that those police officers walking the beat in Harlem play a major role in bettering the communities, unlike randomguy in the video who has probably done nothing but rail against the NYPD. The "us vs them" mentality, which he is supporting will be the death of us all. Police are out specifically to knock the heads of young black males? Give me a fucking break.

[scooniepenn]

@AllThingsHarlem The police may have a few bad apples in the bunch but overall are out to do good. This guy should rail against the congressmen and representaitves from the 15th District who do nothing to better the failing education systems and poverty levels. Oh yeah, the represntatives and city council for Harlem are all black, os its us against them again; but hey at least their black right? Thats good enough. Problem solving is for losers anyway, lets just bitch and moan in the streets.

[scooniepenn]

@AllThingsHarlem And yeah, Harlem has alot of culture and is a tourist destination, but for white folks, there are still many parts of Harlem which are no mans land, they dont venture off MLK Blvd or Fredrick Douglas, or even go past 138th street. So it aint ALL that nice. And for everyday black folks walk around with greenberetguy's mentality, its another day wasted not succeeding at life. I could go on and on with this shit, it ticks me off.

[bxnyfordham]

@AllThingsHarlem The Harlem of my Childhood is gone. Everytime I go to Harlem its full of white people I'm guessing total gentrification in twenty years

[stringztoo]

@AllThingsHarlem Why should he take his family up to Harlem, according to this moron you interviewed, "They don't understand us". This guy, (AND I KNOW YOU) still draw a hard line dividing blacks and whites... so how do you expect the children to stop saying "us/them". It should be WE. You are part of the problem 100x more than you are part of the solution...
