Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg said the stop-and-frisk policy used by New York police during his tenure 'got out of control' at the ninth Democratic debate in Nevada Wednesday. But former Vice President Joe Biden said Bloomberg continued the practice even after he was asked to stop.
Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg said during Wednesday's Democratic debate in Nevada that he was"embarrassed" about the stop-and-frisk policy used by New York Police during his administration.
Recordings of Bloomberg surfaced Monday in which he said the way to prevent crimes in minority neighborhoods was"to throw them up against the wall and frisk them." "When I got into office, there were 650 murders a year in New York City," Bloomberg continued. I thought that my first responsibility was to give people the right to live. That's the basic right of everything.""What happened, however," Bloomberg said,"was it got out of control."
"Let's get something straight," Biden responded."The reason stop-and-frisk changed was because Barack Obama sent moderators to see what was going on. When we sent them there to say this practice has to stop, the mayor thought it was a terrible idea that we sent them there."
