I heard this story on a rerun of Howard the other day and found the article. Granted, it's about 9 years old but it is complete bullshit. I really don't think cab drivers feel like getting robbed and murdered. It would be interesting to see what became of this story. I will file an update if I find one.

" Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani announced an undercover sting operation yesterday that will take away the cabs of drivers who refuse to pick up minority passengers. His decision came less than a week after the actor Danny Glover complained that several New York taxi drivers had refused to pick him up because he is black."
