To atone for it he is working very hard to remove the occupational hazard of armed homeowners.

Geeze, that saved a lot of lives so, by all means apologize to liberals for it, stupid.

Stop and Frisk is an investigative technique approved of by the US Supreme Court and deals with dangerous weapons. No one is detained after a SaF unless illegal weapons are found or there is a warrant for the individual.

SaF goes a long way to reduce gun violence in the inner cities and is a much saner alternative than allowing shootings and murders.

Has he apologized for prosecuting and incarcerating murderers yet?

I (semi-) trolled Left-wing sites saying how much I loved him because he made NYC even safer than it was under Rudy (which is true). And he did it the same way Rudy did - arresting bad guys.

The left simply can’t deal with that...and now it looks as if Bloomberg just figured that out.

“SaF goes a long way to reduce gun violence in the inner cities and is a much saner alternative than allowing shootings and murders.”

Absolutely...and I kind of think they had a way of detecting who was armed, before even stopping them.

Yeah, it's terrible that stop and frisk resulted in the arrests of crooks and fugitives.

It shows disturbing weakness to change one’s opinion.

Bloomberg’s probably already made plenty of statements over the years in support of S & F ... his Democratic opponents are already going through the old news clips as we speak, looking for the most damaging quotes

Bloomberg is going to get hammered on this

Incredible. Back is white, wrong is right...This mind-bleep calls for a stiff Martini. Or in my case, a soothing brandy.

People who are doing CCW tend to fidget with them, unconsciously, until they get used to the idea. It's a tell, just like "printing" the outline over the right hip.

Good cops are very adept are reading postures, expressions, movements, always looking for unspoken hints of what people are doing and thinking as they walk down the street. Is he sweating, can he maintain eye contact, where are his hands and what are his fingers doing? Bad guys are clumsy about guns, even if they don't have them in their hands.

But S&F lets them act on these hints, legally.

disproportionate impact on people of color.

how is it disproportionate when white folk (35%) are a super-minority in NYC? (although if you believe Nanny Nan - that Italians are a non-white minority, the percentage of European whites are 26%) (2006-2008 wiki)

Would you all mind if your local LE agency instituted S&F in your neighborhoods?
