Audio of a 2015 speech Bloomberg made in Colorado just surfaced, and part of it sounds a bit racist. Here's what he said:
Quote:
95% of murders, murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take the description, Xerox it and pass it out to all the cops. They are male minority, sixteen to twenty-five. It’s true in New York, it’s true in virtually every city. That’s where the real crime is. You gotta get the guns out of the hands of the people that are getting killed.
And:
Quote:
Put the cops where the crime is, which means in minority neighborhoods.
That's when he still supported his "Stop and Frisk" policy when he was Mayor of NYC. It worked, but as Blacks commit far more crime, Leftists now claim its racist. Bloomberg has since said he was wrong. For the record, I DO NOT support Stop and Frisk because it violates Probable Cause. It gives the cops a license to stop you and violate your rights for whatever reason they want. No thanks.
I don't have the statistics for that, but wouldn't be a bit surprised if Mike's forces stopped and frisked a number of innocent people, and imprisoned a number of black kids for weed in their pockets. Just like that worker fired by Mike for having a solitaire on his computer, just like vapers in fear that Mike is going to hammer the last nail in the coffin of the best harm reduction that appeared in this century with his 160 M dedicated to the cause, everybody with some little vice or relatively benign addiction has a good reason to fear Mike and what his gazillions can do. Didn't he ban some soda or something
On the other hand, the real criminals have obviously nothing to be afraid of as far as Mike is concerned. He isn't able to detect a psychopath under his very nose, let alone do something about it. Or is he. God only knows what else and who else Mike was mingling with. Think of those white collar crimes if you cant bear to think about Epstein anymore.
Dear Mike with assorted perverts
"]
This is why many people may find dear Mike not so dear. IT is ok to jail shooters, dealers etc, but when you profile one population to the hilt and other one not at all, just because we are talking about different types of crimes, then ppl are going to be pissed off. In this case, people are going to be royally pissed off. Had he ever been worth his salt, he would have profiled his rich crowd first. And done something about their rampant crime.

"On his weekly radio show, Bloomberg remarked that critics kept saying that a disproportionate number of people being stopped were from a particular ethnic group. "That may be, but it's not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe...in that case, incidentally, I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little," he said.
Bloomberg will loose the woke vote of the woke wing in the democrat party as will loose some progressive votes as well. Bloomberg will maintain corporate Dem vote. Bloomberg is not done yet. The woke American has alot of work to do to force and paint corporate dems and some progressives as racist for supporting Bloomberg.

The damage has been done. Thousands of black and brown folks had their lives wrecked due to Bloomberg.
"Ninety-five percent of murders- murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take a description, Xerox it, and pass it out to all the cops," said Bloomberg. "They are male, minorities, 16-25. That's true in New York, that's true in virtually every city (inaudible). And that's where the real crime is. You've got to get the guns out of the hands of people that are getting killed."
Profiling..... No other way to describe it.
I'm betting establishment Democrats will give Mini-Mike a free pass over this. If it were Trump, another nuclear bomb would be dropped.
