Why is stop and frisk not acceptable? We already have young kids killed in the cross-fire. Dead kids are not acceptable.
We live - or are supposed to- in a free society. Where people are free to walk the public streets without having to answer or submit to police state tactics. ( and your crossfire children wouldn’t be any safer if a policeman were to try to frisk you, certainly he can find something more helpful and beneficial - and safer- to do). The means don’t reach anywhere near the desired end. Best,
So you want save the children? We already have untold government meddling to “save the children” how has that worked out? Why layer on another program that weakens our liberties, or do you believe
an emboldened Chicago government will stop, or even start, with frisking black people?
So long as those communities do not cooperate with the police by naming the shooters they will continue to bear the price of gang violence. That’s assuming that the politicians are not using the violence to win elections.
There are better waves to save young black lives in Chicago. Let’s start by disarming the teachers unions. Then we can move onto dismantling a welfare system that destroys families.
It is not acceptable these days because way too many elected officials side with the thugs and not the common citizen. Time to purge the leftists from government in November and elect people that actually care about America.
Please stop that idiocy. Any place in the U.S. that needs “stop and frisk” tactics to prevent children from being shot in crossfire should be de-annexed from the country and surrounded with a sealed border.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, but maybe it has something to do with "innocent until proven guilty."
Because Terry has led to much more than stopping “suspicious” people for weapons. It has been used for decades as a way of stopping people on a pretext of looking for weapons as a way of leading to broader and more intrusive searches. All an officer has to say is “I thought I felt drugs” or “I thought I felt a weapon”, and then they’re in your pockets. Anything after that is fair game.
