Alt-Righters, read it and weep: We Were Wrong about Stop-and-Frisk http://bit.ly/2CCzzJF "Crime in New York City fell even as the policing tactic was abandoned. Today in New York City, use of stop-and-frisk, which the department justified via the 1968 Terry v. Ohio Supreme Court ruling, has crashed. Yet the statistics are clear: Crime is lower than ever. It’s possible that crime would be even lower had stop-and-frisk been retained, but that’s moving the goalposts. I and others argued that crime would rise. Instead, it fell. We were wrong. Major crime in New York City has continued to decline almost across the board in the four years of the de Blasio administration, to the lowest rates since New York City began keeping extensive records on crime in the early 1960s. Crime is literally off the charts — the low end of the charts. To compare today’s crime rate to even that of ten years ago is to observe a breathtaking decline." |

And they didn't have to systematically harass minorities to do it. Crazy, eh? |

Funny but the article's author bent over backwards in trying to discredit NYC's mayor but in the end even he had to admit that crime has continued to drop uder the present city administration. Weird, huh? |

Funny how everyone is ignoring that NYC has tens of thousands of its thugs locked up in prisons that didn't exist in the 1960s.................

Obhviously the NYPD is doing a very effective job without needing to do stop and frisk. |

The truth is hundreds of thousands of additional thugs in more prisons has made stop and frisk superfluous..........
