I'm old enough to remember when all the racists lived (just) in Alabama.

One solution could be to legalize marijuana.(Later, we could consider legalizing, robbery, etc.)

That’s surprising. If this is true (and at the risk of being flamed) this may be evidence of racism. I think its a valid point that white kids in the suburbs get a pass on smoking pot — the police don’t arrest them and judges give them a slap on the wrist if they are arrested— while inner city blacks get busted for it.

“More Than 90% Of Marijuana Arrests In NYC Are People Of Color”

All it means is that “people of color” are too stupid to keep a low profile in order to not get caught.

how can so many blacks be charged if they dont have drugs on them? how many are repeat arrests of the same person?

pehaps a new line of work should be pursued?

I’m more outraged because it is a waste of our tax dollars to arrest people for smoking a damn plant and eating too many chips!

Putting these people in jail cost more than the damn weed!

If 90% of the consumption of marijuana in NYC is by "people of color" (a euphemism for blacks and hispanics), then would that percentage of arrests be out of line?

Or could it be that the people of color are more likely to commit other crimes and to also be charged with possession of marijuana incidentally?

Or should NYC police be required to fulfill quotas for marijuana arrests on whites (people of non-color?)? "Hey, O'Brien, there's a hood-rat dealin' bricks on the corner of 42nd and Stuyvesant." "No can do, Dooley. We gotta head up to Central Park West and find a trust fund baby to bust."

I assume you're being sarcastic. I'm from the north and grew up among rabid racists. For many years Indiana held the largest chapter of the KKK in the world. Even electing state politicians.

And the worst riots because of bussing back in the 70s that I can remember were in Louisville, KY, and Boston, MA.

White is a color.

So were the remaining people translucent?

Most Marijuana arrests occur during the course of an arrest for a much more serious crime. They get arrested for the serious crime then police find the pot on them before they are transported to lockup.

Maybe the non-black potheads in NYC are smart enough not to smoke or “open carry” when the fuzz are around, not make trouble, or even be around trouble that’s likely to bring the LEOs when in possession, or, look guilty like you dindunutin’?

92% of violent crime commited in NYC is by “people of color” so that’s almost identical to these stats.

So, I go to Home Depot to buy some Paint.

The guy asks me what Color I want and I say White.

Does he then proceed to tell me that White isn’t a Color?

Just asking...

Sounds to me like the black folks who choose to toke in NYC need to stop smoking weed. Or hide it better. Or move to a place where weed is legal.

Putting quotas in place is definitely not the proper solution.

Also, how many of these arrests were solely for possession of a small amount of weed and how many were arrests made for a different reason and the weed charge was tacked on because it was convenient to add the additional charge?
