But I suggested stop-and-frisk and some people think that’s a great idea and some people probably don’t like it.

“I would do stop-and-frisk”. “I don’t think that Donald Trump gets it”. And, we had a very good mayor, but New York City was incredible, the way that worked, so I think that could be one step you could do.
The American Civil Liberties Union of IL blasted Trump’s comments, saying he’s flat out “wrong” for believing New York’s shooting rate went down because of stop-and-frisk practices.
News of the proposal comes the same day boxing promoter Don King, who is black, used a racial slur in describing his support of Trump’s candidacy.
Trump also expressed doubts about the ability of cities like Charlotte to build trust in divided communities.
Nonetheless, some iteration of the policy is now being implemented in a number of other cities, and a major presidential candidate is advocating for more of it.
“I don’t have an answer for you because it’s not something that I have familiarized myself with, the constitutionality of it, the efficacy, whether it worked well in New York City or not”, Ryan said. In New York City it was so incredible, the way it worked.
U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in remarks at an African-American church on Wednesday praised “stop-and-frisk” policing methods, which have aroused protests and successful legal challenges on grounds they single out minorities.
Another attendee, Geoff Betts, 38, who is black, said he felt dismayed by Trump’s response.
A federal judge in NY struck down the tactic as unconstitutional in 2013, saying the way the city used it violated the rights of minorities. However, the judge did not order an outright ban on the practice, but called for outside oversight and reform.
Then-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg appealed the ruling, but the current mayor, Bill DeBlasio, dropped the appeal.
“That’s even more appropriate”, Clinton said. It has been deemed racist and ineffective by most everyone in law enforcement. Statistical studies of the stops made by NYPD officers showed that about 83 percent of pedestrians searched between 2004 and 2012 were black or Latino, according to the New York Times. Neither Trump nor the hosts evidently realized that the Chicago Police Department already employs the tactic. Giuliani has continued to defend the practice in recent years, rebutting the statistics showing little correlation between stop-and-frisk and a reduction in crime.
Asked Wednesday about the police shootings in Charlotte and Tulsa, Oklahoma, that have reignited the debate over race and policing in the country, Trump did not address the Charlotte incident but said he was “very, very troubled” by the shooting of Terence Crutcher, an unarmed black man, in Tulsa on Friday night.

Trump’s effort to court black voters Wednesday in Cleveland took a freakish turn when he was introduced by boxing promoter Don King, who used a racial slur as he made the case for black voters to support Trump. “They’re proactive, and if they see a person possibly with a gun or they think they have a gun, they will see the person and they’ll look and they’ll take the gun away”.
