I’m so done with politics it’s just too phony
Great lineHe went from pleasing cops to copping pleas.
and Bloomberg appealed the ruling.............see spoiler in OPNow he thinks he’s above the law now, as usual.
In Floyd v. City of New York, decided on August 12, 2013, US District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin ruled that stop and frisk had been used in an unconstitutional manner and directed the police to adopt a written policy to specify where such stops are authorized.
Under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, a police officer may stop a suspect on the street and frisk him or her without probable cause to arrest, if the police officer has a reasonable suspicion that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime and has a reasonable belief that the person "may be armed and presently dangerous.
- Of course, one wouldn’t know that listening to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and other true believers, who insist that aggressive stop-and-frisks have reduced violent crime. But they’re wrong.
Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968)
Crime went down during Bloomberg's terms...........and CONTINUED to go down after Stop n Frisk was stopped/reduced as policy under Mayor Deblasio.
The fact that it continued to go down points to the effectiveness of other measures in crime reduction. NYC has record low crime numbers now.
Had reported street crimes spiked up after Stop N Frisk stopped, Bloomberg would have used it as a "tough on crime" badge, but it didn't so now he's trying to cop pleas
I come from a no nonsense father, and I hate crime and criminals more than anybody(trust me), but being smart on crime is more effective than being "tough on crime".
=============
For those outside of NYC metro area, this ad and his stated opposition to S&F is what helped Deblasio get elected
(if this ad is new to you.............wait........ for............ it)

Stop and Frisk just paved the way for the further criminalization of the existence of Black and Brown people in NYC more than before..I’d have more respect for him if he took a stance that said “my goal was to protect black and brown people” even with an
But flat out lying and taking a complete 180
By the way it’s alwaysBloomberg


Nypd dissed him big timeDeBlasio really trotted out his biracial son and black wife as props. Why do Dems do this? I mean, I followed him on Twitter he seems genuine but I felt bad for him to cause he inherited the mess that Bloomberg & Giuliani created.
Nothing changed in NYC since he's been mayor...except gentrification got noticably worse to just fukking ridiculous levels. And the homeless problem got ten times worse.
