Except you’re wrong, there’s plenty that support the policy worked, but I acknowledge there’s disagreement on the matter, and you should at least do the same.

There’s probably just as much disagreement on whether it’s racist; and it’s not about whether anyone’s living in your reality or not.
I’m curious why you didn’t respond to my question about your actual experience on the matter. Do you even have a dog in this fight or are you just some arm chair liberal that likes to dismiss anything that doesn’t fit your worldview.

To be effective, doctors target illnesses and firefighter target fires. Likewise police should target areas of high crime and high risk individuals, which is what policy is designed to do and there is nothing racist about that.
On the practical side, I recognize certain minorities will be getting stopped and frisked more than others, the same minorities that are disproportionately affected by gun violence. I see it as a trade off, inconvenience vs lives saved. People are still debating effectiveness, but the design is sound in my opinion.
Do you have some personal reason to be so against the policy, what was your experience with it during the Bloomberg years?

That’s just not true. I have been stopped and frisked before and my building’s near major police presence, so if it’s brought back, I will be stopped and frisked in the future. But that’s all I see it as each time I was stopped- an inconvenience.
It’s a question on whether lives are worth the inconvenience, and based on the downvotes, I’m sad to see political correctness > black and brown lives.

If stop and frisk would save lives and lower crime, at the cost of inconvenience, should it be brought back?
Are those lives worth it?

A lot of them are coming from countries that don’t experience winters like what we have. With freezing overnight temperatures and migrants not having adequate clothing and shelter, nobody wants to see frozen corpses of women and kids lining the streets.

If feds don’t give us more money to help migrants, we might as well bus them to DC. It’s their job to figure out the immigration policy. I’d hate to see City services cut because of this.
