MILLER: Bloomberg Loses Stop And Frisk, And NRA Gets Blamed

New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has spent tens of millions of his billions trying to get his gun bans instituted in the rest of America, even though these laws have never stopped criminals from getting guns. That’s why he has had to resort to policing tactics such as stop and frisk to get the firearms away from the bad guys. Unfortunately, his one area of success is no longer allowed, and he’s looking for someone to blame.

On Thursday, the City Council overrode the mayor’s veto of two bills that will create a New York Police Department inspector general to oversee tactics such as stop and frisk and allow more categories of people to sue the city for racial profiling. Mr. Bloomberg said the vote will lead to minorities being put at higher risk, since they have benefited most from crime reduction.

Ah... the old "we have to kill you to "protect you". And if you don't think killing is an option for the cops in New York, go there and refuse a "stop and frisk". If you live, you'll either wake up in jail or the intensive care unit. Protecting and serving, you know. Guilty until searched and proven innocent is also applicable.
