Full Speech: Bloomberg Apologizes for 'Stop and Frisk' Police Practice | NBC New York

Michael Bloomberg apologized for his longstanding support of the controversial “stop-and-frisk” police strategy ahead of a potential Democratic presidential run, a practice that he embraced as New York’s mayor and continued to defend despite its disproportionate impact on people of color.

Bloomberg defended "stop and frisk" top the bitter end of his time as mayor. Why should anyone believe that he's sorry now after the damage has been done?

[garyrichardson]

You're not getting my vote and no one in my family. Same people same speeches 500 years and still counting. Pharaoh had to let us go. So does the world

[anitaschvitz]

Please i'm sorry, i didn't know then that I was going to run for president

[prometheusprometheus]

Funny he said reduced murder by 50%. But no numbers on police shootings. Just historic lows. That could mean one less than last year or over the history of the city only 100 years were better. He’s mayorsplaining

[marcoscastro]

I always believe that this mayor was out of touch with ny city's people his not worthy of trust in any public office.

[edwardlouis]

He shouldn’t have. It may the city safer than now. They need it back, wider and bigger.

[karriemoore]

I'm sure there not many if any Black ppl there

With money you can buy a house, but not a home.

With money you can buy a clock, but not time.

With money you can buy a bed, but not sleep.

With money you can buy a book, but not knowledge.

With money you can buy a doctor, but not good health.

With money you can buy a position, but not respect.

With money you can buy blood, but not life.


With money you can buy sex, but not love.


I'll add my own to these proverbs just for you Berg . You're money can buy you votes but not a conscious !

Sure he's sorry now that it looks bad. But notice he's still pouring money into supporting the type of gun control that led to it...

[abrahamsmith]

If the church took a collection from him they should read acts 8)(18)and see that money doesn’t cut it and then go and repent

[gregoryhayes]

It's an insult for a man of your wealth to simply apologize to the victims and not set up a fund to compensate them for their loss. Totally unacceptable!

[starling]

Billionaires write big checks to those who were accused or suspect

Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Vote for Bernie

So we got *Biff Tannen* from Back 2 the Future in the White House and now *Mr. Burns* is running too?

How does the song go? "Oh Canada *...♩ ♪ ♫ ♬*

[YOWTUNUP]

you've been the mayor for so long I'll never understand at least Trump grow along understanding but you did not do nothing in your time of power

[JessJ_]

This was my church he went to Christian cultural Center. My parents were talking about this last Sunday

[drmorcoch]

of course he can afford to get people to clap for him when needed

[stanky]

Just 1 more democrap pandering, there will be more. We call them panderbears.

[madelineruss]

As a black and latino that lived in NYC during this time period, i have no problem saying Stop and Frisk was egregiously wrong, but i believe in his sincerity. He's not outwardly emotional man, so I think his apology may have not come off as sincere. That being said, if he bevomes the Democratic nominee i will vote for him because i believe he would be able to wipe the floor with Trump. I am more voting against Trump than for Michael Bloomberg.
