13:22Now PlayingFormer New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg reversed his support of stop-and-frisk policy as he considers a 2020 presidential bid.
Bloomberg offered his mea culpa at a Black church in New York saying:
“Over time, I’ve come to understand something that I long struggled to admit to myself: I got something important wrong. I got something important really wrong. I didn’t understand that back then the full impact that stops were having on the black and Latino communities. I was totally focused on saving lives, but as we know, good intentions aren’t good enough. Now, hindsight is 20/20. But, as crime continued to come down as we reduced stops, and as it continued to come down during the next administration, to its credit, I now see that we could and should have acted sooner and acted faster to cut the stops. I wish we had. I’m sorry that we didn’t. But, I can’t change history. However today, I want you to know that I realize back then I was wrong, and I’m sorry.”
Keris Love of the Justice League of New York City spoke with Roland Martin about Bloomberg's sudden change of mind on the discriminatory policing practice of Stop-and-Frisk.
