Mayor de Blasio has endangered New Yorkers’ lives by abandoning stop-and-frisk — an “amazing surrender” rooted in politics, ex-Police Commissioner Ray Kelly charges in a new book.
“De Blasio shrugged and walked away from a routine and useful policing tool, snatching law enforcement defeat from the jaws of legal victory,” Kelly writes in his memoir, “Vigilance: My Life Serving America and Protecting Its Empire City.”
De Blasio swept away stop-and-frisk — a policy police brass instituted in 1990 to let cops search and detain anyone they suspected of committing a crime — as a sop to his core supporters as soon as he took over in City Hall, Kelly says in a scathing critique of the mayor’s law-enforcement policies.
“And who benefited most from our successes?” Kelly writes. “The very people the de Blasio campaign were reportedly speaking for, young minority males especially.”
Kelly chided Manhattan federal Judge Shira Scheindlin for helping de Blasio win the primary thanks to her “disturbing, highly offensive” decision describing stop-and-frisk as unconstitutional and calling for reforms.
“What really burned me up though, one of many things, from a tiny number of incidents, cherry-picked from millions, Judge Scheindlin had pinned the whole police department as a racist institution,” he writes.
He calls the decision “bad science, bad judgement, bad policy, and on a human level personally wrong.” “This was a product of a transparently cynical collaboration among an agenda-driven academic, a crafty plaintiff’s attorney and a judge who already made up her mind.”
Kelly saved his harshest criticism for de Blasio’s campaign rhetoric.

His opponent had all the charisma of dry toenail clippings. Why didn’t Rudy stump hard for him? De Blasio only won due to low turnout.
Wilhelm is a Jewish name.
Let them stew in it...
DeLibtarddeo built a publicly funded fence around his public housing hacienda. Whatta a libtard.
“Wilhelm is a Jewish name.”
No. It’s a German name that some Jews also had.
His name before that was Cuban Commie.
The libs/GOPe/ media false narrative continues to endanger the entire USA.
Since when?
I did not realize that Kaiser Wilhelm was a Jew.
