Bloomberg slammed after audio of him defending stop-and-frisk resurfaces
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is facing backlash after an audio clip of him defending the controversial “stop-and-frisk” policing strategy in 2015 resurfaced Monday.
Audio of @MikeBloomberg’s 2015 @AspenInstitute speech where he explains that “you can just Xerox ” the description of male, minorities 16-25 and hand to cops.Perhaps because of the problematic explanation he gives for #StopAndFrisk pic.twitter.
Bloomberg failed to mention in his statement that the New York Police Department only began scaling back stop-and-frisks in 2012 in response to public pressure and negative media attention. “For years, he has defended ‘stop-and-frisk,’ the racially discriminatory and ineffective police tactic that he backed and expanded as NYC’s mayor,” Rolling Stone writer Jamil Smith tweeted at the time. “Now that he is running for president and needs black votes, he’s sorry.”
“I am staunchly against Michael Bloomberg buying his way into the campaign,” Dixon told HuffPost of the billionaire businessman’s presidential bid. “And this [audio] was hiding in plain sight. ... People need to hear it.” “If all you see and all you hear all day long is Bloomberg, then you start believing that maybe he is the guy to beat Donald Trump,” Dixon said.
