The report, released Tuesday, "presupposes that all stops are recorded and justified,'' said the National Latino Officers Association of America. The report, the group said, confirmed what it already knew: "You get exactly what you pay for."
"This study is comprised of endless excuses, statistical justifications,'' the association said, and African Americans and Hispanics are categorized "as statistically insignificant."
"The report draws conclusions that have no basis in reality. If left unchallenged, it is the justification for racial profiling, abuse and discrimination,'' the group said.
The majority of the people stopped last year, 53 percent, were black; 29 percent were Hispanic and 11 percent were white. The 36,000-member department, the nation's largest, commissioned the study earlier this year.

The report recommended that, because 90 percent of the people stopped were never arrested or ticketed, officers needed to better explain reasons for the stops.
"This report did nothing but disregard community complaints and suspicions,'' the Latino officers' group said. Full Story
Keep in mind that this report was conducted by the RAND Corporation whose job is to amass data in support of the Establishment worldwide.
