A 13 Year Old On Being Stopped And Frisked

Thirteen year old “menace to society” Kasiem Walters experienced the now unconstitutional “stop and frisk” policy for the first time while on his way to school. At an already vulnerable and difficult age, the last thing any 13 year old needs is to be demonized and treated not as human but as a criminal. Unfortunately for Walters and many others just like him, this is not an uncommon occurrence. Surely after years and years of race-based aggravation, minorities affected by this policy won’t come to resent and resist police authority and finally become the criminals they’re already believed to be. Oh, wait. That is what tends to happen.
