'What is this stuff that he's condemning stop-and-frisk?' Trump's personal lawyer asked.
Bloomberg, who served as New York's mayor from 2002 to 2013, only apologized for the controversial policing strategy shortly before launching his presidential campaign. Prior to that, he had consistently defended"stop-and-frisk," arguing that it was an effective way to combat crime. He even suggested that minorities are inherently more likely to commit crimes, saying that he felt white communities were over-policed.
In a 2015 clip of remarks he made to the Aspen Institute, Bloomberg said:"Ninety-five percent of murders, murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take a description, Xerox it, and pass it out to all the cops." "We did the best thing that we can. I think it had something to do with it [the decline in crime]," he said in a January."At some point in time, you do too much of one thing, then you should stop doing it."
Democratic presidential front-runner Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont took aim at Bloomberg and his previous support for stop and frisk during a Nevada event on Saturday.
