The only Practical defense Good citizens have against dangerous gangs like BLM and Muslim terrorists and “regular“ assaults and batteries will not be taken from them, not without fighting. That’s pretty obvious nowadays. Stop and frisk is not acceptable, period.
NO
Make resisting a felony and provide cops with their batons and black jacks.

“suspicious people” & “illegal guns”
Define your terms. What is an illegal gun? My reading of the 2nd Amendment says there is no such thing. My state has finally recognized that, and open carry is once again recognized as constitutional. IMO, EVERYONE should be carrying firearms. What exactly is a suspicious person? Is it anyone carrying a gun? A black person carrying a gun? An old white guy carrying a gun? What makes them suspicious? What about them would a cop be able to recognize as suspicious? Sagging pants, a red or blue bandana? A thousand dollar suit and a snap-brim fedora? Wads of cash? How do you even know they’re carrying a gun?
Personally, I’ve already spent all the time I care to spend living in a police state.
We need leaders who are unabashedly tough on crime. Like this woman...

Anyone know who she is?
(Does she know who she is?)
Cities in the US are not safe.... They gave the militants free rein and the toothpaste won’t go back in the tube..
when will the leaders get an understanding what they did and who they did it with.... they turned anarchists loose on our cities and anywhere else they went... turned them loose to loot.. destroy businesses.. burn buildings and cars.. even take over areas. and NO ONE.. NO FORCE EVIDENT.. It went on for days... and days... while we watched in shock at home...
BLM... peaceful? NO! give them room and silence and they are as bad as the rest of them..
No one is safe any more... the couple protecting their home from the mobs the cities let loose to go after anyone... they protected their home and then they are the guilty... took the gun...
I’m sorry for being so dense... but I don’t get anything the other side does and I don’t get the pandering to that other side!!
Stop and frisk is already used a lot by the police in the circumstances described in Terry v. Ohio. If you’re talking about just stopping and frisking people with no reason, Terry v. Ohio says the police can’t do that.
I grew up in an era when it was NAZIs that were portrayed as the "show us your papers" bad guys. That was anti-freedom of movement. That image was reinforced in my lifetime by the Stasi. Note: they were not stopping black and brown gang bangers. They were stopping white freedom lovers.
So what to do? I recognize that stop and frisk is effective. I also recognize that it could be used against me or my children/grandchildren someday. I equate it with being tyrannical crime reduction matter. As a freedom loving conservative I have given myself an out. There is another solution. Here's the big leap: renew 2a rights in American cities. Is it not true that where there has been stop and frisk (American cities, most notably, NYC in the past) that they have the toughest gun control measures to insure that only the bad guys have guns and law abiding citizens do not? Even the playing field. Spend energy on allowing law abiding citizens to carry weapons to defend themselves instead of fighting for stop and frisk. Fighting for stop and first is inherently an argument that aligns with gun control.
My 2a stance is so rapid that I believe that anyone who is not in currently prison has a God given right to defend himself. There should be zero gun control laws, as in "shall not infringe". That includes background checks, since non-incarcerated criminals by pass them anyway and will always have a weapon if they choose.
True 2a rights would eliminate render stop and first impotent. To drive the point home, imagine the effect of 2a rights for all on stop and frisk: Police officer sees someone suspicious. He stops him. Puts the gang banger up against the wall and frisks. "Oh, what do we have here, a fully automatic Uzi? Fine weapon you have their son. I was thinking about getting one myself. You can go along your merry way, you are not in prison, so you can carry anything you like. But I'm going to come down on you like all hell if you use it in a crime. Just remember Grandma has one too, and I won't do a damn thing about her using it to defend herself. If you want to use it against your fellow gang bangers, go right ahead. Clean this neighborhood up a little bit. Just don't let me see you do it."
Okay, that last part of this is the racist in me. I really don't think their lives matter. But in a more perfect union, I think crimes need to be committed first before someone is investigated and detained by authorities. And it shouldn't be a crime for anyone to carry a weapon of their choosing (including fully automatic weapons - without the ubiquitous tax stamp from the federal government). It should not be a crime to just carry a weapon. It is a greater offense when a weapon is used in the commission of a crime. That's already the law. Wait until a crime is committed and then lock them up. We just need to get Rats out of the courts and the DA's office to make it stick.
Don't let the wrongs of Rats be corrected by another wrong, namely stop and frisk, even if it is effective. Stick to the constitution. Let granny defend herself. Get rid of Rats and lock up criminals that use weapons in the commission of a crime.
Agree
If we didn’t have all of the laws trying to artificially circumvent the natural process of evolution, we wouldn’t have these problems.
The only thing that keeps these Criminals Alive is GUN CONTROL!!!

No. Stop and frisk is tyranny. Might be legal, but it stinks. It’s pure redneck “you don’t beloooong heah” crap.
Are you contemplating an unconstitutional exploitation of a loophole?
