Audio of Mike Bloomberg's 2015 speech at the Aspen Institute has gone viral. In his talk, the former New York Mayor who's now running for the Democrat presidential nomination, says that "you can just Xerox (copy)" the description of the murderers and their victims (male, minorities, ages 16-25) and hand it over to the cops. As is always the case with Bloomberg, he had the video of the speech blocked. Sadly for him, however, there are people who have the audio recording.
"95 percent of your murders -- murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take the description, Xerox it and pass out to all the cops. They are male, minorities, sixteen to twenty-five. That's true in New York, that's true in virtually every city," Bloomberg said.
"And that's where the real crime is," the man who's running for the nomination of the supposedly anti-racist Democrat party went on to say. "You've got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that are getting killed. You want to spend the money on a lot of cops on the streets." Once you've got more cops, he argued, you have to "put the cops where the crime is, which means in minority neighborhoods."
Bloomberg even responded to those who'd pull the race card on him. "One of the unintended consequences is people say, 'Oh my God, you are arresting kids for marijuana that are all minorities.' Yes, that's true. Why? Because we put all the cops in minority neighborhoods. Yes, that's true. Why do we do it? Because that's where all the crime is."

“Viral” on conservative outlets, maybe, but is there any evidence this is even being picked up by the national media?
Easy come, easy go . . . $400 million down the drain.
RE: Is it an accurate statement or not?
Post number 18 above summarizes the problem with Bloomberg’s statement pretty well.
Under no circumstances am I going to take Bloomberg’s side in this debate. It’s a Rat vs. Rat fight and Bloomberg can suffer forever over it. He’s a serious candidate and needs to be destroyed.
Welcome to the rat party, Mike.

“Is it an accurate statement or not?”
I do not know if it is or not. 95% seems high to me. However if you are running for President on the dimoKKKRAT ticket that statement will not help at all.
IOW, he's a shoo-in for the nomination now!
They already are.
That's why they are getting killed.
He’s absolutely right! It’s true! It’s not racist. But with dems, it’s unacceptable to say the truth, and so he will be condemned for it.
I’m betting he does everything he can to suppress this audio, and that the media go along. Unless they turn on him because he is preventing one of their darlings from being elected.
I believe he will repudiate this, and go to the naacp and bow down in abject submission and apologize. But they won’t buy it.
Mike doesn’t care if he wins the primary or not - he is going to throw all his dough behind whoever does win.
Biden’s out, Sanders will get the shaft, Warren and Booty are the ones left. Warren has already sold out to the establishment, so she might be the choice of the party.
I'd be surprised if he even spent 1% of that, unless he's counting the in-kind contributions of the slavish MSM.
Perhaps he's claiming he spent that months for tax purposes. If PDJT's IRS comes down on him, he can cry "political retaliation" and make himself out to be a victim.
During the Elaine Riot the minorities were lucky there were a few guns for protection.But that is another unmentionable part of the Democrat’s dark history.
What did he just say? The guy is an idiot.
I’m not happy at all to find myself agreeing with Mike Bloomberg about anything.
But, I am happy that such truth-telling is going to result in a huge wave of condemnation for the man.
He’s far too certain that only he knows best for the little people, a complete and total authoritarian.
He has no business at all in the White House.
Yes, it does. Thanks!
We need to call him a scumbag racist everywhere he goes. In the words of Lyndon Johnson “I want to hear him deny it”. They do it us all the time, so give it back to them twice as hard. I’m not a member of the “We don’t stoop to their level” wing of the Republicans and I’m not interested in engaging in a debate with them.
He’s not courageous.
His data may be a little exaggerated, but essentially true.
I think the real data is somewhere around 80%.
MSM and DNC in a frenzy. Mr Money Buckets will not be the nominee.
This is like Romney’s “45%” remark only the explosion will be much larger.
