Actually it is not true. 95% is a gross overestimation, that’s why it is really a racist statement. I think it is around 70% which of course is terrible. But that extra 20% means a lot to the black community. Also, I think there was a stat by the police where 90% of the people stopped were innocent.

Reverse race and imagine if thousands of white people were thrown up against the wall and frisked for no reason other than skin color (with 9 out of 10 innocent). Let’s just forget the Fourth Amendment guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures. This is not the America I would want to live in. We are either for civil liberties or we are not.

Also, you better not drink a soda over 16oz. Also let’s regulated trans fats, and barred the philanthropic donation of fresh bagels and other foodstuffs to the needy in homeless shelters because the salt, fat, and fiber content.

Notorious MRB, also known by his street name, “Soda Pop” after he stopped, frisked and jailed his arch rival, Corn Pop.

Hard to see how you get the Democrat nomination if the New York Times is against you.

This is what happens when you give the heart, soul, and mind of the Democrat political machine to hard left identity politics ideologues.

Bump for reference.

Interesting, I had heard he was also a real sexist pig. Looked at pretty women in his building and say in a loud voice, “I would do her.” I even heard other more “hostile work environment” things about him.

Considering how much most working democrats like to vilianize the rich, this should be very interesting to watch as some try to swallow hard to get him to beat Bernie.

I wonder how they are going to down play his 3 terms as the REPUBLICAN mayor of NYC? Yes, Bloomberg is good but Sanders is not a Democrat and can't be their nominee.

Stop-and-frisk and its associated "get tough" policy, while it lasted, drove down the crime rate and saved many hundreds of (mostly minority) lives. It's one statistically-proven, effective way to show Black Lives Matter.

Why does the NYT want black people to die?

He started a very successful business in the financial information sector. He worked very, very hard and beat a lot of entrenched competition with a really good idea.

I do believe Bloomberg with all his money will wind up as the Democrat nominee. No way will the party elites allow Bernie the nomination and create the debacle of losing an overabundance of congressional races with a commie fronting the ticket.

Stop and Frisk with probable cause is one thing. Bloomberg’s comment becomes racist when he says something like ... ALL the police should go into black neighborhoods because that is where ALL the crime is. He used the word ALL three times. Notice that the New York Times does not put this most inflammatory part of the statement in the part that people can read without going to the link.

Soon we will see the propaganda press claim that everyone who supported Stop and Frisk ( Giuliani , Trump) is the same as Bloomberg. That is a lie.

Thank you for that important clarification. My comments were partly serous, partly ironic. I think you are right.

The New York POST loved this arrogant bastard when he was Mayor. Don’t understand why so many love to post that rag here.

Don’t forget, Bloomberg said he had his own private army in the NYPD, the seventh largest in the world..
That tells everyone what a “can’t wait to be a dictator” creep he is.

Nearly 90 percent of the people stopped were completely innocent. He knew that.

Of course; as he was hunting the 10% that were not INNOCENT!

Does this help him or hurt him nationally in the Dem primaries?

Don't know; but it sounds as though it'll help him in the general!
