According to the NYPD a suspect is white 16% of the time. Of that number they only get a certain amount of each race as arrestees while the rest walk free. From my quick math it seems to be about right proportionally but on the lower end, more like a “NYPD catches only ~30% of all criminals actively commiting a crime.” All of these numbers were for misdemeanors only, and change greatly with the inclusion of felonies which I can calculate later if you want.
We’re not talking about arrests we’re talking about stops of pedestrians, so none of what you said after the first sentence is relevant.
The NYPD has stopped tens of thousands of pedestrians since Mayor Eric Adams took office – claiming someone “fit a relevant description” or citing a vague reason like “other.” Just 5% of them were white, revealing racial disparities even starker than at the height of former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s “stop and frisk” era.
