When 'stop and frisk' was instituted, there were 2000 murders per year. They immediately dropped to 500. To most people that would be called an amazing success.
But since it does not fit the liberal agenday, lets ignore that.
Skip ahead a few years, and a new liberal mayor does not like how evil 'stop and frisk' is (despite saving 1500 lives per year). So he removes stops that policy.
Murders do not immediately jump back up to 2000 peryear, so to liberals thats a sign that 'stop and frisk' was not working.
That's not a lie or damnable lie. It's not even a statistic. It's a liberal talking point.
And it is so far from the truth as can possibly be, because they did not manipulate statistics to show what they wanted, they ignored statistics that proved the opposite of what they wanted.
The media knows these results, and chooses to ignore them so they can repeat the lie. The media no longer deal in actual journalism, but liberal talking points.
All to get Democrats elected. Nevermind how many people are killed.
Both my Lady and I carry concealed with a permit. We would be proud to tell an officer this if we were stopped.
I KNOW that we would be complimented on our efficiency, up to date paperwork, and choice of weapons. We have police friends, and they ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE buttoned up information, and polite people.
Because gun control...
Murders up 20% in 2015 in year-to-year comparison, NYPD says
Yes, I see the logic of it now
Regrettably, this article starts with a Post Hoc fallacy: “When ‘stop and frisk’ was instituted, there were 2000 murders per year. They immediately dropped to 500.”
What evidence does he have that ‘stop and frisk’ had anything to do with this?
He needs to make his arguments better.
