thanks. i did check out the information from that case, which is fascinating and publicly available. i haven't gone very far into it, but here is some interesting information from the first case file listed, a statistical study on stops in nyc in 2013-2015:
In 2013, Blacks were frisked in 58.9 percent of the stops compared to 55.6 percent of the stops of Non-Hispanic others (Whites, Asians, Native Americans). Also in 2013, Blacks were subjected to force more frequently, with 14.5 percent of the stops involving force compared to 12.6 percent of the stops for Non-Hispanic Others. In 2014 and 2015, the differences are no longer significant when Blacks are compared to Non-Hispanics stopped in similar circumstances.
it claims that this small difference is statistically significant, and i'll trust that their statistical analysis is adequate. but this is before controlling for any additional factors that may figure in to the reason for frisking. of course, they also note that the differences disappeared in 2014 and 2015...
at any rate, it is significant to note that the floyd case was a response to perceived non-compliance with daniels v. city of new york, in which the nypd was found to be violating the 4th amendment by searching without reasonable suspicion.
