Why Is the N.Y.P.D. After Me?

This is a very eye opening article. Its interesting how scared and shaken up I would be if this happened to me but to kids living in that area its very normal. These people are being persecuted with no evidence. Their homes are also being searched without warrants. This is an extreme case of excessive searching. A majority of the time its quite racist.

This is very similar to the witch hunts because without evidence people are being persecuted. In the Crucible many people were being killed over lies and little evidence.
