How can you even post such an article? You might have some people saying to bring back stop and frisk.
Bring back stop and frisk
Rachehamenu Hashem Elokeinu!
We are living in a high-tech wild jungle,
Or high-tech modern Wild West.
Nobody killed in the bronx. Headline should read “Bronx safest borough of NY.”
Way to go Bratton/DeBlala! I thought lowering the speed limit to 25 would stop death in the City once and for all. Keep writing those parking tickets. That will definitly save lives. Idiots!
Bring back stop and frisk and Bloomberg , that Deplatzio is worse then u think, the police are much more aggressive with that Vision $ , Remember in 3 yrs let him go fly a kite
Warm summer nights + no job + no stop & frisk = fraying tempers & shootings. Stay safe people!
Sop and frisk would have prevented some of these shootings. The fear of being stopped and arrested for gun possession kept a lot of guns off the street.
