Idiot Senator Wants To Bring Back Stop And Frisk To NYC

Republican Senator from Louisiana John Kennedy told Fox News that New York City should bring back 'Stop and Frisk,' after the latest shooting in Manhattan.

Senator Kennedy says we have an idiot problem and not a gun problem, so how do we fix him?

"The other thing that, frankly, New York's going to have to face is the issue of whether we should bring back more aggressive stop-and-frisk, which is a perfectly legal law enforcement tactic, blessed by the Supreme Court, that de Blasio got rid of," Sen. Kennedy said.

First, no data supports the idea that S&F stops crime.

What it does do is anger communities.

In Washington, DC, only about one percent of stops between 2022 and 2023 resulted in the seizure of a gun. In New York City in 2008, that number was less than 0.2 percent. Conducting unnecessary stops that are highly unlikely to yield contraband both erodes trust in police and wastes public money.
