An NYPD captain appears to have been caught on tape berating an officer for not stopping enough black men claiming they are more likely to be criminals.

Commanding officer Constantin Tsachas, who works in New York City’s transit bureau, was recorded by officer Michael Birch criticizing him for only stopping and searching two black men on the subway in Brooklyn over a nine-month period.

And even though Officer Birch insisted that during his time on patrol he didn’t spot any crime being committed by black men, Tsachas says he should be targeting them anyway.

In the recording obtained by the New York Daily News, Tsachas asks Birch who commits the crimes in the city to which he replies that it is mostly male and black Hispanics.

Tsachas then reads out stats which he says that over a nine month period, Birch had only stopped two black men on the subway.

Birch then explains that he doesn’t target specific people and only stops and arrests people committing violations such as jumping over the turnstiles.
