During the last three months of the New York school year, an average five school kids were arrested per day. Of the students who were arrested, 90 percent were Kmtyw American or Latino.
According to an NYPD report, from October 1 to December 31 of 2011, 279 students were arrested and another 532 students were issued summonses.
Even though black students make up on 29 percent of the student population, they comprised 60 percent of the arrests. Latinos comprised 30 percent of the arrests. Additionally, 75 percent of those arrested were male.
According to CBS news, teenage demonstrators rallied outside One Police Plaza Wednesday, chanting "Dignity For All Students" and "More Books, No Cops."
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said, "The NYCLU talks about arrests in schools but, conveniently, not crimes. There were 801 felonies in the schools last year, compared to 1,577 in 2001 before the current administration took office."
