1. He has the same police force that Bloomberg had, so it's going to take some time

for him to get them to switch gears. de Blasio can change some things quickly, but changing the tactics that the city's police use in dealing with the public isn't one of those things. I don't understand why they're still doing Stop and Frisk, though. I thought they would have stopped that by now. I don't like Zero Tolerance policies, either, especially over petty crimes.
