There have been cringe-worthy videos. One shows police restraining a 15-year-old in East New York over the weekend. Another on the Lower East Side lead to a police Internal Affairs probe. Both have been cited as evidence that police have targeted members of the minority community in enforcing social distancing. Its the new stop and frisk, said attorney Sanford Rubenstein. They are not dealing with this issue in the white community, but in the black community, we are being harassed, we are being beaten, community activist Rev. Kevin McCall said. The way they tossed my son in the street, broke ribs, stood on his head like he was nothing, it just sickens me, said Donna Wright, the mother of one victim.

A police source emphatically denies the NYPD is substituting social distancing for stop and frisk. When it comes to social distancing enforcement, the NYPD recorded about one million contacts that lead to 368 summonses and 120 arrests. Breaking down the arrests by race: Nearly 68% were black, 24% were Hispanic and nearly 7% were white. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, a former police captain, told Kramer he finds that troubling. If were saying after the initial engagement it leads to police action, and over 90% of police action leads to the arrests of people of color, that is problematic because it states that we didnt have to do anything too often, but when we did do it, 90% were black and Hispanic, Adams said.

I mean...to be fair, I live in a SUPER diverse city(Houston), and the people I've observed who are definitely the worst at social distancing are african american and latino populations. There are a fair amount of white people not wearing masks/staying too close together...but the WORST offenses I've seen have been large groups of latino or black families at grocery stores.

Just my observations.

That black guy got killed jogging in another area. If black people were being targeted while white people get warnings I wouldn't be surprised.
