Eight New York City police officers have been shot in the past four months. Illegal guns from out of state “are turning our city into a shooting gallery,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told the New York Daily News this week. His department’s controversial stop-and-frisk polices uncovered 800 such guns last year. “There is a reason why we continue to be proactive on the street,” Mr. Kelly said. But critics of his stop-and-frisk practices say that tens of thousands of Constitutionally wrong searches conducted annually in mostly minority neighborhoods do not a single right make.
Does the spree of recent cop-shootings trump NYPD critics’ stop-and-frisk concerns?
* Yes. Cops’ lives should come first. The NYPD should stop and frisk more people and get more guns off the street.
* No. Citizens’ rights come first. This spate of shootings happened despite NYPD’s use of stop-and-frisk—the approach failed.

No circumstances can trump truly unalienable rights; otherwise they aren't rights just permissions from the state.

Really, you can’t fix stupid......
So Ray is it your claim that guns are walk,flying magically appearing in your town and discharging themselves into you citizens? Got a news flash for ya. Doesn;t work that way.
What is turning you city into a shooting gallery is its citizens. Deal with it..........
