    I guess no one has connected the dots that high crime areas are poor, urban, and mostly minority. Easier to bend the rules with a law and order excuse.

    Hello again, tom/Mr. Constitutional:

    But it still was constitutional one... again ;the operative word in the 4th amendment . Is 'reasonable'.
    I don't know... You seem to be saying that if SCOTS says it, you LOVE it.. But, I'll bet you don't love Heller. That's where your guy Scalia said that guns CAN be regulated...

    Put THAT in your Constitutional pipe.

    Perfect demonstration video on why cops shouldn't be put into schools. The disturbed man was looking for suicide by cop.

    I cannot believe he said this:

    Lying in wait right now is a terrorist, a deranged school shooter, a kidnapper, a rapist, a murderer, waiting and planning and plotting in every community across our country, lying in wait right now," LaPierre said.

    Wayne LaPierre claimed there are 5 million NRA members yesterday at the NRA convention. Yes I suppose some of the members sell guns.

    I'm talking about neighborhoods where Postal workers are too afraid to deliver the mail... so they don't . You can make your case all you want to about loss of freedom. The poor and minority residents are not free... their neighborhoods are run by gangbangers . Stop and frisk gives them a chance to liberate their neighborhoods . It is YOU that don't care about the plight of the residents. You instead want to protect the gangbangers .

    And I'm sure all those gangbangers, some felons, are buying their guns at gun shows.

    And straw men for gang bangers, drug dealer and, fringe loons. Stopping everyone and frisking them in some neighborhoods doesn't eliminate the underlying reason for criminal activity, nor make them safer. It does help the arrest record look good though.

    I suppose you live in those neighborhoods where Postal workers fear to tread.
    Postal workers too scared to deliver mail in crime-ridden Brownsville, Brooklyn - NYPOST.com
    In NY City 70-75 % murder suspects are blacks.. and 90 % of murder victims are minorities from the neighborhoods where stop and frisk is employed. If only 53% of those stopped are blacks... then they are being under represented as a percentage of those being stopped .
    Maybe stop and risk could've saved the life of Alphonza Bryant. He was a promising student at the Urban Assembly Bronx Studio for Writers and Artists . He was gunned down last month when gangbangers took random shots of a group of 10 that Alphonza was hanging out with . The fact is that when police stop and ask a 17 year old a question based on a reasonable suspicion of a crime there is outrage. Yet when a 17 year old is standing on the street corner near his home at 8:15 in the evening and gets shot and killed, there is silence from the civil rights crowd.

    It's true.. A police state would stop a LOT of crime.. But, I like the Constitution.. You? Not so much.

    I've already addressed the constitutional issues . I think the constitution is covered ;including the legitimate role of the government to protect life and property. You on the other hand would allow the streets of the inner city to become the equivalent of Fallujah run by gangs instead of tribes . Let me assure you ;there are no personal liberties for the people living there when gangs and criminals dictate the rules on the streets .
