A couple of additional, infuriating stories about the Stop & Frisk Squad broke over the last day or so, further eroding my once very solid support of American law-enforcement agencies.

Click here to read about how NYPD officers fired at an unarmed man creating a public disturbance, missed him and injured two bystanders–inspiring the DA to charge the unarmed man with additional assault charges for creating the situation in which inept and overzealous NYPD officers shot faultless civilians.

Click here to read about a Brooklyn man who was stopped and arrested by the NYPD for possession of ecstasy–oh no, wait, I’m sorry, they were BREATH MINTS.

Sigh.
