So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the Lord hath laid upon it; And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath.

I have experienced Stop and Frisk in other countries and I can tell you it can lead to a lot of abuse of power and even robbery. In a perfect world perhaps but people are far from perfect.

Bloomberg stepped on his own feet when he re elected himself to a 3rd term. He was a narcissistic dictator that appealed to the gentrifier crowd because he made their wet dreams come true by making NYC safe enough for them to move here. Basically he is an ******* that hides behind a democratic moniker when in reality he is about as red as they get. The fact that he was willing to run for president as a DEM is a spit in the face to all Democrats.
The reason he ran because of the great divisions within the Dem party. You have centrists begging him to run because of his business connections and wealth. They thought he can go toe to toe against Trump. Then you got the left that wanted Bernie. It's this reason why Biden nor Clinton can't beat Trump. Too much division within the Dem party.

Stop and frisk is the same as business and data analytics of using data to target individuals and places where crime is frequent. Of course there will be people who will be wrongfully accused and abused by NYPD. How could they not be, analytics is all about probability.

If you want to blame someone then blame why crime still exist today. AOC and libs claim because the lack of opportunities. Well, there's no reason for NFL football players with million $ contract should be involved in armed robberies. But it keeps happening. It's not due to lack of opportunities, it's due to upbringing.

No reason for millionaires to be stealing from people either. It's not due to lack of opportunities, its due to upbringing:

Lol at the OP

Yes, no doubt the city has taken a hit for sure - but it's nowhere near AS bad as you make it seem. And the city will be back a lot sooner than you think. How do I know? Because I actually live near it and frequent it often.

NYC might be dying temporarily because of Covid but I am certain America is dying. Almost every American is happy some other American is suffering.

Bloomberg is definitely a leftist, he's just more businesses friendly than the average Democrat.

That's funny since most of his followers are Republicans and the 1%.
