Bloomberg: We Stop Too Many Whites

On the defense after the New York City Council passed a pair of bills designed to curb the NYPD's controversial stop-and-frisk tactic and other alleged abuses, Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I) said today that his critics had it backwards when they accuse the police of stopping too many black and Latino men. In fact, he bluntly declared the opposite to be true if viewed through a lens of who commits murders. "I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little," Bloomberg argued during his Friday morning WOR radio show with John Gambling. "It's exactly the reverse of what they say. I don't know where they went to school but they certainly didn't take a math course. Or a logic course."
