Why keep thousands of people alive when you can instead make one man feel safe and special?

“Pretextual traffic stops are the new stop-and-frisk,” said Amy Thompson, staff counsel at Impact for Equity and a researcher on the new study. Police “are not only concentrating traffic stops in communities of color, but also for drivers of color driving throughout the city.”

A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.
