yeah as oppose to republicans who never bring up race? LMAO! your are insane, hows your wall btwOf course it did, but it's an inconvenient statistic for Democrats who want to use race as a political issue.that didnt happen under stop and frisk much less because of it, did you just find out about it today too?That's a misleading statistic. The purpose of the program was to prevent violent crime, not just to catch criminals. If potential criminals know there is a high likelihood they will be stopped and frisked if they are illegally carrying guns, they are less likely to be carrying guns, and that means there will be fewer shootings and deaths. Murders dropping from 2,000 a year to 500 a year is the relevant statistic.many cops testified to the opposite, and the same article i posted showed they were also ineffective 89% of the people stopped had no contraband, try againThat was never department policy, but some officers and commanders may have behaved improperly in this respect. That calls for more training, not ending a program that saved hundreds of lives.are you saying that not being white is reasonable suspicion of being armed? because thats why they were searching them
Does an army stop fighting because some of its soldiers and officers may have behaved improperly? Of course not, it corrects the mistakes and continues with its mission. The New York court never, in fact, ordered the end of stop and frisk, it merely ordered close monitoring and a series of reforms of the program. It was a political decision by the mayor that ended the program. Stop and frisk programs are clearly constitutional and save lives.
