Great responses mayor! Mayor Bill de Blasio phones on over to Hot 97 and dropped some serious planning for the near-future in New York. The mayor is looking forward to assisting the NYPD and Bill Branton with channeling their stop & frisk efforts to less innocent folk and more on the criminals.
“In 2011 when stops when up to 700,000, a sounding number, according to police statistics almost 90% of all those stops were innocent in every way shape or form,” says the Mayor. “Take all that time and energy and focus it on actual criminals…the innocent folks, the hard-working folks who were stopped regularly, that’s got to end,” he adds.
de Blasio is working hard! He also details implementations for weed laws, minimum wage, pedestrian deaths and more. Have a listen down below.
