De Blasio: 'I have spent literally six years undoing what Michael Bloomberg did'
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/472100-de-blasio-i-have-spent-literally-six-years-undoing-what-michael-bloombergNew York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called out Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg’s previous support for stop-and-frisk policing, saying his predecessor as mayor is “out of touch with what Democrats are looking for and talking about right now."
"This is a guy who really reinforced the status quo every chance he got in New York City, and I have spent literally six years undoing what Michael Bloomberg did, and stop and frisk is one of the most obvious examples, but there’s a lot of others” de Blasio said Monday in an interview with "The Young Turks."
“With stop and frisk, I can’t tell you how many years people pleaded with Michael Bloomberg. Leaders in the African American and the Latino community said over and over, 'this was hurting our children.' This was holding back our communities, creating a rift between police and community.”
Bloomberg endorsed a "very aggressive approach to policing in a country, bluntly, that still is coming to grips with the reality of race-based policing. That is what he encouraged," de Blasio said in the interview.
