Are they zeroing in on a specific African-American dominated part or something?
EDIT:

The police commissioner said in a statement that CitiWatch cameras have resulted in an average decline in crime of 33 percent in the small areas near each camera. He said an expansion of digital surveillance is needed in a city where there were nearly 1,000 shootings and a record high in homicides last year.
"At a time when 84 percent of our homicides occur in outdoor public spaces, it seems logical to explore opportunities to capture the brazen killers who don't think twice about gunning down their victims on our streets," Davis said. "Indeed, 43 percent of this year's killing have occurred in 'broad daylight' hours, an apparent gesture of impunity by trigger pullers who expect not to be revealed."

It seems as though this thread is a little misleading; I didn't really see the word 'black' or 'African American' anywhere in the article. Was it speculation or am I missing something?
