Trump urges stop-and-frisk for Chicago, a practice attacked as racial profiling
Jeremy Gorner and Tribune wire reportsContact Reporters
Donald Trump on Thursday said Chicago needs to employ controversial “stop-and-frisk” police practices to stem violence, continuing his critique of policing here a month after saying the city’s crime problem could be stopped in a week if police were “very much tougher.”
“Chicago is out of control, and I was really referring to Chicago with stop-and-frisk,” the Republican presidential nominee told the television show “Fox & Friends,” responding to criticism for earlier appearing to suggest the tactic should be used nationwide. “They asked me about Chicago, and I was talking about stop-and-frisk for Chicago.”
The night before, in a town hall in Cleveland Heights, Ohio moderated by Fox News' Sean Hannity, an audience member asked Trump what he would do about “violence in the black community.” He proposed using the practice of officers stopping and questioning people, even searching them if the officers consider them suspicious.
In Chicago, police have used a similar practice for years, stopping people they deem suspicious and questioning them, sometimes patting them down. Then last year, the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois considered suing the Chicago Police Department over the excessive use of the practice, which has been condemned by the ACLU as racial profiling.
