Abstract
Rockville Centre, L.I.: Re "A policing rift that healed" (editorial, Nov. 27): It was no thanks to the Daily News. Your editorials at the time created enormous animosity between residents and police. They served as an echo chamber for the police department's unyielding support of its stop-and-frisk practices. At the same time we, along with the Police Reform Organizing Project and Communities United for Police Reform, were testifying, writing and speaking against the aggressive use of the tactic in places such as Harlem and the Village. Try digesting the research before criticizing and simply accepting the police department's version. The evidence was quite clear from the beginning. Other than our book "The Crime Numbers Game: Management by Manipulation," our research is published in many peer reviewed journals. We welcome you to the club, but you are 12 years late and millions of stops short.
