had he apologized while he was mayor that would be something, right. we would have six and a half years to sort of look at what mayor de blasio has been able to do to move us past that dark history in our city. michael bloomberg up until this summer was standing by that policy and it s not just individuals who were stopped and frisked. this is something that affects families and affects entire communities. there s collective trauma. to say nothing of the financial burdens that were placed on so many people. think about ka leaf browder under blikle bloombergmichael b leadership. they didn t know ten people who had $50. a larger economic narrative that a billionaire is saying wasn t that big of a deal and we have people who either die in rikers or afterwards. people forget that the new york city police department is a model for many police departments across globally. a lot of people considered that same policy there. but props to david dinkins for
down right now and the s.e.a.l. community, going back and forth, hurts the morale. the s.e.a.l.s. can t waste time with cases like this. they re doing a lot more important things around the world than be tied up with this case. retired navy s.e.a.l. team member don man. thank you. we are 100 days from super tuesday. on march 3rd, 14 states will hold primaries or caucuses and black voters make up a significant portion of the electorate to many of those states. former mayor blikle bloombe blo officially in the race and plans to focus his campaigning efforts in the southern super tuesday states. that may prove an uphill battle given his past support of police stop and frisk which he apologized for last week. with me christina greer the associate profess of political science at fordham university. thank you tore being with me on this sunday. optics alone many would say great, just what we needed, another white male in his 70s,
issues, obviously that are of great concern to many in this country, democrats, clean water, gun control, but he has to account for his 12 years as a republican/independent mayor of new york city where he, you know, was the champion of stop and frisk and i think they the reason why so many black voters are giving him the collective side eye is because he defended his beliefs on stop and frisk all the way up until about a month ago. so, you know, when he left office, january 1st, 2014, he stood by it for several years. he did a lot of good things for the city, some controversial things as well. when you have 12 years a lot of time to do the extra four was the touch controversial. an interesting power grab indeed. but stop and frisk thing, is that still enough? so much in the past. is that still enough to hurt him when it comes to black voters? he has apologized for it. he has apologized but timing is everything.
