Trumps 'Stop and Frisk'
I won't try to get in Mr. Trump's mind about his reasons for wanting to institute 'Stop and Frisk' in our inner cities. I will weigh in on some thoughts and concerns I have regarding his idea.
For starters, using the above technique calls for police and law enforcement to engage in the practice if someone looks suspicious. Now what constitutes looking suspicious I ask you? To one officer a person may look 'suspicious,' to another that person may NOT look 'suspicious.' Will this be based on behavior, skin color, or some other form of profiling? In other words, it's a crap shoot.
Good look with this one!!
Also, if you are going to do engage in 'Stop and Frisk' why not simply go after everyone? That way you can avoid discriminating against a certain group. Again, a ridiculous idea.
Finally, Mr. Trump might want to check with court rulings to see if the practice is banned.
Oh, by the way Secretary Clinton is not a proponent of 'Stop and Frisk.'
