Philadelphia Police Commissioner Defends 'Stop & Frisk' as Mayoral Candidates Speak Out Against It  By Mitch  Blacher

The NBC10 Investigators have been tracking results of the stop and frisk policy since last year. The latest stats show minorities continue to be targeted. NBC10's Mitch Blacher breaks it all down for you.
Philadelphia Police have stopped thousands and frisked hundreds without probable cause, according to multiple reports produced by PPD and obtained by the NBC 10 Investigators.
According to the latest statistics, from January to June 2014, 941 or 37 percent of Philadelphia police stops were made without reasonable suspicion. Police recovered contraband 58 times, including five guns according to the data based on those 941 stops.
