Lion Heart 15,041 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 During a pre-taped “core black issues” town-hall interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump revealed Wednesday that he would like to see “stop-and-frisk” policing enacted nationwide as a way to end violence in black communities. “I would do stop-and-frisk. I think you have to,” he reportedly said in response to an audience member’s question about stopping “black-on-black” crime. “We did it in New York, it worked incredibly well, and you have to be proactive..” Despite studies showing the practice wasn’t all that effective in making cities safer, and widespread criticism of its race-based tactics, Trump continued to extol stop-and-frisk’s virtues: “In New York City, it was so incredible, the way it worked.” “Any politician who would go to a black community and say stop-and-frisk is the solution to your problems is showing no respect for the intellectual capacity of that community,” Jeff Robinson, deputy legal director at the American Civil Liberties Union and a policing expert for the organization, told The Daily Beast. http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/09/21/trump-i-d-use-stop-and-frisk-to-end-violence-in-black-communities.html?via=desktop&source=copyurl ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And isn't Trump the one always crying about the 2nd amendment?... If you want power, don't be hypocritical. He better not win. He won't win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JevyDuty 2,961 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 As a High School student, I was stopped and frisked when I was walking in to my apartment building. I was stopped and frisked (a k.a harrassed and embarrassed) in front of my neighbors. And what for? For nothing! They got to forget about that day the moment it was over. I have never forgotten the embarrassment. **** you Trump!!! Edit: It's almost like they want minorities to get accustomed to having their rights violated and having their communities held at a different standard because the white community is not affected by SnF.
