Colorlines Reports: Nearly All Student Arrests in NYC Public Schools Target Black and Latino Males

New York City police officers arrested or ticketed an average of four students per day in the city's schools over a four-month period this summer and fall. Out of 63 arrests in that time period, all but four of them were black or Latino kids, Gotham Schools reports.

The statistics released on Monday came under the terms of the Student Safety Act, a law the City Council passed last year to require transparency about arrests made by the New York Police Department in city schools. 

It is time that LASPD release i's own data on arrest and ticketing practice!
