The 73rd Precinct in Brownsville, Brooklyn, racks up the highest number of stop-and-frisks in New York. Citywide, police will accost around 700,000 people this year, 85 percent of them Black and brown. Ten years ago, the figure was 86,000. Stop Stop and Frisk organizers plan another civil disobedience on November 15, at the 103rd precinct in Jamaica, Queens. For information, call (866) 841-9139 x2670 or go to endstopandfrisk on Twitter.
