The lame reading of his prepared statement lets me know he's not really sorry, just wants to get ahead of criticisms in this racially/culturally sensitive climate.

[HilarityBribo]

Now that this clown wants to run for president, he's sorry.

[fusiongurudotcom]

He was wrong then and he is wrong now!

[robincorprew]

When will the people in office represent the people, and not their own agendas

[PigRipperLAW]

It was intended to harass people they don’t respect. This is not an apology nor is it taking responsibility in any adult sense.

very funny. tying to get the black vote. good luck with that.

Micheal Bloomberg's apology was sincere and heartfelt - Bloomberg News

[ionly]

A cop tried to do this to me... I had my GF(practicing attorney) sue the cop and the county.. We lost but they NEVER EVER bothered me again😂😂😂

[allysondoerfler]

It wasn't a police tactic - IT WAS BLOOMBERG'S TACTIC.

[americanwatching]

The day a cop touches me for no reason will be a cold day for them.

So is he going to apologize for the gun control that led to it? And are critics of the policy who are (justly so) angry about it, going to connect the dots between the tactics and their goals?

[jamestaylor]

Mike is the person responsible for harassing black folks!

[truthbetold]

We do not accept your apology, you are not forgiven, and we will not tell you you are forgiven.

[lazylight]

Bloomberg can buy all the ads he wants but he cannot buy my vote

[lamourstrong]

Serious topic

But got to say, this man has sexy hair 1:23

[_loss_]

He defended it up until his presidential run. How convenient.

[russk]

Not saying that stop and frisk is defendable, but did you ever hear Trump apologize for anything?

[brobroant]

Dudes racist doesn’t need to be in government

[arthurjones]

Why they wait til they running for president to be sorry

[thelonerider]

Everyone who was ever improperly searched, thank the nearest gun control advocate. Wouldn't have happened without them.
