The NYPD 'Weeds' Out Blacks and Latinos

I stumbled upon this article in the Voice... I was surprised and disappointed to understand this instance of racial injustice in nyc.

"The marijuana-arrest rate for black New Yorkers is five times higher than whites; for Latinos, it's three times higher—despite the fact, as previously noted, that a higher percentage of whites smoke pot, both nationally and in New York."
