Collateral damage is not the issue. Cops make mistakes. They are humans put in difficult life-threatening situations. You can't take the mayor to task for the mistakes of a police officer.

Take a look at DeKalb County in Georgia. Same problems with the police there.

The point of the article isn't that individual officers make mistakes, rather that the arbitrary stop and frisk policy, aside from being unconstitutional, was a policy that invites mistakes. The policy is the responsibility of those who fostered it. Since the court decision applies only in New York, and since Rudy is on record that different states and localities need different gun laws, it's perfectly reasonable to ask if he'd support this in the other 49 states.

Nope no innocents gunned down in DeKalb. In Atlanta, yes.
