FL Police Stop and Detain 11 Yr Old Black Boy w/Hoodie For No Reason

by April Taylor
A recent investigation by the Miami Herald has unearthed a Miami Gardens, FL police program that appears to be far worse than the notorious New York City stop and frisk policy.  A Fusion investigation discovered that numbers equivalent to half of the city’s population have been stopped under the program between 2008 and 2013. Thousands have been arrested with more than 56,000 people stopped.

In an illustration of just how absurd the program is, police stopped an 11-year old African-American boy, who was on his way to football practice, citing that they had just cause to stop him as a “suspicious person” because he was “wearing gray sweatpants, a red hoodie, and black gloves.”
