Bloomberg right to appeal 'stop-and-frisk' ruling? #tellusatoday

We asked our followers on Twitter what they thought about New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's support for the stop-and-frisk policy. Tweets edited for clarity and grammar:

The stop-and-frisk practice was keeping the poorest NYC neighborhoods safe.

Even if you take away the racial profiling aspect of it, "stop and frisk" is still a disgusting infringement of people's rights.

— @RobCooperX

Of course the cops have to right to "stop and frisk." The safety of the society as a whole is above everything.

— @VenezuelaMiami

Bloomberg's lack of empathy for the unjust, existential pain blacks feel under "stop and frisk" is sad.

— @fuertecorazon

Whatever you think about "stop and frisk," Bloomberg's reaction to the ruling has been deranged.

— @cd_hooks

Wait, so Bloomberg wants to stop oversized servings of soda, obesity and climate change, but not the racist stop-and-frisk policy?

— @Michael_Shank

"Stop and frisk" is the reason NYC crime went down.
