Way too little. Way too late! After 3 terms as Mayor, now he wants to apologize for #stopandfrisk? Sorry but black and brown folks in #NYC have 13 years of receipts. https://t.co/hGpjThEILK via @NYTimes

“The racial disparities in Stop and Frisk enforcement were jarring. Of 575,000 stops in 2009, Black and Latino people were 9 times as likely as whites to be targeted by police. In 2011, police questioned 685,000 New Yorkers. 87% were Black or Latino.” https://t.co/OqclleYE00

Apology not accepted.
Studies on stop and frisk tell us those stopped experienced physical and psychological distress, the kind associated with surges of cortisol that can harm your brain and organs if the event is chronic or recurrent.
Stop and frisk was both. https://t.co/Dp9PrhR3LJ

The NYPD was committing constitutional violations against Black and Latino New Yorkers on a gargantuan scale. Millions of stops and frisks. Millions!
Bloomberg told his lawyers to fight fiercely to keep the program. They dragged out the litigation for six years.

A thread on @mikebloomberg & #stopandfrisk:
When I was a med student in NYC, I was stopped/frisked. I was a young, brown man in a hoodie in Washington Heights.
In 2012, he spoke at the @PDSoros conference. I took the Q/A opportunity to bring it up.
