In 1968 the United States Supreme Court ruled that stops and frisks were constitutional if officers had reasonable suspicion to believe a crime was afoot. The decades that followed were wrought with racial profiling and unjust arrests based in "Terry stops." In Floyd v. New York City, the Southern District Court of New York ruled that these stops and frisks were rooted in racial bias, and New York City's stop and frisk policy was unconstitutional. Under the city's policy, African Americans were about 30% more likely than whites to be arrested. Police Departments all over the country are re-writing policy. There is a focus on de-escalation.

Some departments are choosing not to do anything at all. Think about solutions, balancing order, ensuring police officers are safe, and ensuring a person's 4th Amendment rights are upheld.

Questions:

• As an authentic servant leader, how would you balance order,
• As an authentic servant leader, how would you make sure police officers are safe, and
• As an authentic servant leader, how would you ensure a person's 4^th Amendment rights?
