From TMZ: Worker at Milano Market on Upper East Side Stops and Frisks Forest Whitaker. Would Ray Kelly or Mike Bloomberg Approve?

Not even the inside of a store can provide a Black man–in this case, Forest Whitaker—in New York City refuge from “Stop and Frisk.”

This time, however, the NYPD is not behind the act; it was allegedly an employee of the Upper East Side’s Milano Market who carried out the embarrassing pat down. TMZ reports that Whitaker said he was falsely accused of lifting an item off the store’s shelf and subsequently frisked by an employee.
