controversial "stop-and-frisk" program has been put on hold. In August, U.S. District Judge
Shira Scheindlin found the program unconstitutional, saying police had relied on a "policy of indirect racial profiling" that led officers to routinely stop "blacks and Hispanics who would not have been stopped if they were white." Provided to you under Democracy NOW! creative commons
