"His police department was stopping and frisking people, mostly African-American men," Biden said last week.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has already signaled he will attack Biden over past comments on working with segregationist senators and may mention, as he did in the first debate, that he is the only one on stage with a black son.
