Seems that there’s been racial profiling by the police a the Seventh Avenue F-train station on Ninth Street and Seventh Avenue. Here’s the story from the Daily News.

Five cops who heard an NYPD captain give a controversial order told the Daily News yesterday the message was crystal clear: Stop and frisk every black man at a robbery-plagued Brooklyn subway station.

"The captain said the descriptions of the [suspects] vary a lot, so we were to stop all black males at the station, stop and frisk them because ‘they have no reason being there,’" said one white officer who was outraged by the command.

Capt. Michael Vanchieri, commander of Brooklyn Transit District 30, gave the orders at Thursday’s 7 a.m. roll call, the cops said.

A sergeant and a lieutenant opened the meeting, then turned the meeting over to Vanchieri, who described a series of robberies on the F line in Brooklyn, concentrated near the Seventh Ave.-Park Slope station.

"All black men were to be stopped – no description other than that," the white officer said. "So some 30- to 40-year-old man who had every right to be at the station – he’d get frisked too."

The Daily News interviewed five of the 12 to 15 officers at the 7 a.m. briefing. All five – a mix of black and white, male and female cops, who spoke on condition of anonymity – gave consistent accounts.

"Everybody was totally shocked," said a black officer who was present. "It was very clear. Stop and question and frisk. But no description of who we were looking for – just male blacks," he said.

Vanchieri could not be reached.

But Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Vanchieri has denied making any inappropriate comments, claiming any discussion of race was part of a broader description of the suspects.

"He gave a description of those individuals and asked if anybody sees them, if anyone matched that description, to stop and speak to them," Kelly said.

Kelly noted that the NYPD is the only major police department in the country to ban profiling.

"All indications are that there was some sort of misunderstanding as to what his directions were," Kelly added.

Victor Swinton, president of the Guardians Association, an association of black NYPD officers, said Vanchieri has offered to meet with him about the roll call order
