New York City's Policy " Stop & Frisk "- Found Unconstitutional By Judge, Mayor Not Happy
--MAYOR BLOOMBERG, at City Hall : "Stop-Question-Frisk - which the Supreme Court of the United States has found to be constitutional -... has taken some 8,000 guns off the street over the past decade - and some 80,000 other weapons. ... There is just no question that Stop-Question-Frisk has saved countless lives. And we know that most of the lives saved, based on the statistics, have been black and Hispanic young men. ... [A]s recently as 1990, New York City averaged more than six murders a day. Today, ... less than one murder a day. ... [P]eople also have a right to walk down the street without being killed or mugged. And for those rights to be protected, we have to give the members of our Police Department the tools they need to do their jobs without being micro-managed and second-guessed every day by a judge or a monitor." http://on.nyc.gov/19foo4C
