Activists protest at One Police Plaza in New York on Saturday, May 12, 2012 against the NYPD policy of "Stop and Frisk" and the concurrent low level marijuana arrests associated with the policy. The groups contend that "Stop and Frisk" is racially biased with 85 percent of the people arrested being black and latino and costing the city $75 million each year. (© Richard B. Levine)
