Can We Throw His Ass in Jail for Civil Rights Violations?

We now have a report that New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly deliberately target people to be terrorized by the police on the basis of race:

Ever since the New York City Police Department initiated its reviled stop-and-frisk technique, the force's laughable refrain has been that its officers are not engaging in racial profiling. It may not look like racial profiling to Mayor Michael Bloomberg or NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly, who oversee stop and frisk, but to the millions of blacks and Latinos harassed by the NYPD over the years it is a blatant campaign against dark skin.

Today, a New York legislator testifying in a class-action suit against stop and frisk confirmed that those suspicious of the program's racial motivations are correct. Doubling down on an accusation he made in 2011, New York State Senator Eric Adams said on the record that he heard Commissioner Kelly tell then-Governor David Paterson and a room of other lawmakers that stop and frisk targets minorities because "he wanted to instill fear in them that any time they leave their homes they could be targeted by police."
What Ray Kelly is alleged to have said here is exactly the same as burning a cross on a hill overlooking a minority neighborhood: Instilling fear in minorities on the basis of their ancestry.

This is Bull Connor sh%$, and it's illegal.  It's detention and harassment on the basis of race.

If the FBI is not on the case, someone needs to get their head out of their ass, and do their f%$#ing job.
