An overwhelming number of all public school students placed in handcuffs by New York Police Department officers in 2016 were black or Hispanic ― a whopping 99 percent, to be exact.
NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman told the New York Daily News that police action in school has a big impact on kids’ academic and emotional well-being.
“When a child is handcuffed, the child is humiliated,” Lieberman said. “It’s incompatible with the safe and supportive learning environment a school is supposed to provide."
In the report, Lieberman emphasized that the use of harsh police tactics in school “is neither necessary nor effective to keep children and staff safe.”
Despite the progress that’s been made in reducing school-based arrests in the city, 99 percent is beyond a troubling number. The figure only emphasizes the fact that black and Latinx children, who are disciplined more often and more severely throughout their years in school than white students, face an all too real school-to-prison pipeline. And too often, it puts students’ livelihoods at risk (see: 2015 assault at Spring Valley High School).
The NYCLU recommended that New York City move to limit the role of police in school discipline and “operate in a manner consistent with the best interests of children.”

Yeah? Show us video of white students attacking each other and teachers. I can show you dozens if not hundreds of videos where black and hispanic thugs do that. Not the good kids mind you, just the thugs. They give everyone else a bad name because of their actions.
Weren't you the one who said "Racists are stupid"?....
They are.
James Watson, Francis Crick, and even Dawkins all have expressed anti-Egalitarian views on race.
These are some huge intellectuals of our times.
I'd imagine that there's many of them, actually.
But, they are afraid of being practically crucified like they did to James Watson.
