Hizzoner’s stop and frisk policies certainly did nothing to help.
Some of us here have no problem with cops stopping and frisking ‘Boys in the Hood’ types, if the cops have a subjective, good faith belief that the little thug might be carrying an illegal firearm.
And while acknowledging that those of us with CCPs may be frisked as well. Maybe we’re printing badly and scare some old lady or liberal, so the cop asks to see our pink card to keep the nervous Nellies happy as well as to prove the practice isn’t invidious. This is what cops are supposed to do.
But Liberaltarians were dropping calves from here to DU, fainting from vapors and accusing those of us who might actually know some LEOs of being Brownshirts, so Godwin’s law kicks in, we win, they lose.
