Reply to comment by Dont_mute_me_bro in Eric Adams blasts Bill de Blasio for leaving NYC in 'total disarray' by 1600hazenstreet

I don’t think you’ll find any deblasio Stans here.

Needless to say, he ended stop and frisk. So that’s cool

I wasn't a fan and blamed Bloomberg for stop n frisk but my 85 year old mom never got hassled; my wife didn't; I didn't; my high school kids didn't'; my grade school kids didn't.

The targets were black and brown men between ages 15-45.

60% of the population are black and brown; half of them are male (30%) probably half are over 45 or under 15. (155) So he didn't something beneficial for 15% or so the population. Fine.

I said "Average New Yorkers". Perhaps I should rephrase to "a majority of New Yorkers".

Stop N Frisk was Giuliani’s baby—all part of “Broken Windows” policing he advocated.

Bloomberg kept status quo at first, knowing you can’t rescind what was two terms of de facto policy. Then he was forced to deal with it as the lawsuits over overzealous policing began to pile up.

But nice try.
