(AllHipHop News) The New York City Police Department’s “Stop-and-Frisk” policy is one of the most highly criticized police tactics in recent years. The New York Civil Liberties Union, LatinoJustice PRLDEF, and The Bronx Defenders filed a federal class action lawsuit against the city, and as a result, a judge ordered that the NYPD stop enforcing the practice in front of private residences in The Bronx. And now all NYC residents await the decision of a judge in another case involving the policy. Floyd v. City of New York covers a much larger scale as the constitutionality of the entire program is in question. The Center for Constitutional Rights (part of the defense team in the case) is now trying to get the word out about the upcoming ruling by enlisting rapper/actor Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) to appear in a new public service announcement. The 3 minute ad is called “Don’t Tread On Me” and features some staggering facts like 85% of the 5 million stops under “Stop-and-Frisk” were Black or Latino. In the video, the voice of a police officer can also be heard sharing the story of his commanding officer telling his precinct, “we’re gonna go out there, and we’re gonna violate some rights.” [ALSO READ: Reverend Al Sharpton, Rappers Protest NYPD’s Stop & Frisk Policy ] For more stats about the NYPD’s “Stop-and-Frisk” visit thinkprogress.org .

Yasiin Bey Talks Love For UGK + Bun B.

Yasiin Bey talks all things UGK in an interview with director Sama’an Ashrawi . He cites his first formal meeting with Bun B. – one half of the legendary duo from Port Arthur, Texas – during a rally in Jena, Louisiana as a slightly surprising but defining moment in the development of his already established respect for his fellow MC; Bun’s presence proved a comfort during a tenuous time in the Louisiana town where the Jena Six were being tried for the beating of a white student. The potential for unrest or clashes with law enforcement in the area was likely amplified as people flooded the area to protest in support of the defendants in the racially driven case. The talk is the 10th and final installment of an All-Star Tribute To UGK – a series of in-depth interviews Ashrawi conducted with industry friends and peers of the legendary Underground Kingz , formed in 1987 by Bun and the late Pimp C . Check the footage below. Stay trill. ...
