So were the cops not arresting blacks and Latinos as much as other races for the same infractions or were the cops' actually being instructed to arrest blacks and Latinos at a higher rate than other races for the same infractions?

I don't know what the article could have done to make this more clear:

the new commander instructed officers to think of white and Asian people as soft targets and urged them to instead go after blacks and Latinos for minor offenses like jumping the turnstile, a half-dozen officers said in sworn statements.

You are stopping too many Russian and Chinese, one of the officers, Daniel Perez, recalled the commander telling him earlier this decade.

Another officer, Aaron Diaz, recalled the same commander saying in 2012, You should write more black and Hispanic people.
...
Six officers said in their affidavits that Mr. Tsachas, now a deputy inspector, pressured them to enforce low-level violations against black and Hispanic people, while discouraging them from doing the same to white or Asian people.

At a police station tucked into an end-of-the-line subway terminal in South Brooklyn, the new commander instructed officers to think of white and Asian people as soft targets and urged them to instead go after blacks and Latinos for minor offenses like jumping the turnstile, a half-dozen officers said in sworn statements.

I hope this puts to sleep the "dude, the PD can't be racist, there's a minority in there!" trope.

Anyway, remember this sort of stuff when alt righters say "the stats say that XYZ races do more crimes". Of course it's going to look that way if you spare ones and focus on others.

So even with these alledged quotas, that city is still one of the deadliest in the world for violent crime.

Wish these people would address that for once...

By what measure, exactly? NYC is remarkably safe on a per capita basis. Madison, WI has a higher murder rate.

From post #22, the amount of total stops dramatically goes down which is good.

Because they had to, legally.

if this goes well it could encourage others to do the same
