“Yes, I agree, I would not tolerate being accosted on the street for a pat down,”

Of course that’s not what was going on in NYC...the renaming is just agitprop.

That's exactly what we're talking about here - a policy in which innocent people are stopped on the street by the police and searched. The fact that only around 12% of these stops resulted in the cops finding anything at all tells us how abhorrent the practice is, not to mention how ineffectual.

Read that again - 88% of the people being stopped are innocent victims of an out-of-control police state. They walk away from their "encounter" without an arrest or summons, and likely without any respect for the police.

This isn't a 2nd Amendment question so much as it is a 4th Amendment one. In our country, we do not let the government presume us all criminals until we prove otherwise.
