Rudy Giuliani: Bill de Blasio Should Apologize To NYPD For "Libelous" Racial Profiling Accusations

NY Daily News  " 'This man has foisted on the city of New York a totally phony claim, and he's maligned a great police department with his claim of racial profiling," he said, calling de Blasio's argument that stop and frisk systematically overtargets minorities "outrageous."
"De Blasio has said he would drop the city's appeal of Judge Shira Scheindlin's ruling on NYPD reforms if he becomes mayor -- but Giuliani suggested Friday that the case could continue even against the Democrat's wishes."

Pros and Cons of "Stop - and Frisk"  
It’s where the crimes are more prevalent and the most shootings occur that someone suspicious would be singled out, stopped, questioned and frisked. In what way does this all make sense? It means that yes, most of those stopped were black and Hispanic but that the reasons for “choosing” them has noting(sp) to do with race, and everything about where they live and hang out, and about more officers patrolling in these areas.
"How ironic.
"Just two days after NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly was shouted down at Brown University over NYC’s Stop and Frisk policy, with many protesters citing a finding by a trial Judge of racial discrimination, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has stayed the ruling, and kicked the trial judge off the case. (Full Order embedded at bottom of post.)
"In a short but scathing ruling, the Court of Appeals ruled that Judge Shira A. Scheindlin “ran afoul of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges”:"...

Geraldo Rivera: Blacks and Latinos being most ‘protected’ by ‘Stop-and-Frisk’  “New York is the safest big city on Earth,” he explained. “Chicago has three and half times the homicide rate of New York. And Chicago has a very similar demographic.”
 “And whose lives are being saved by Stop-and-Frisk? It is precisely the people — the black and Latino young person most susceptible to being killed by violence. These are the people being protected by Stop-and-Frisk.”

"He added: “Ray Kelly was right, Mayor Bloomberg was right. Twenty years of Republican administrations in New York has done a good thing.' ”
I wanted to find a cartoon that was perceptive enough to shed light on this subject, but have found only self-righteous works, designed to enhance the cartoonist's street cred with liberal society. Nobody's work shows the reaction of those living in gang-infested areas to the a they are getting from Stop and Frisk. TD

Comments to this post in FreedomWorks and my response:
 
    MR: 


 
Calling for the end of police brutality and adherence to Constitutional Rights is fascism to you?
 

You obviously have no idea what you are posting.
 
    TD: I feel you have no concept of what police brutality is. How about the brutality people on the NY subways experienced during the Dinkins administration? How about the brutality experienced by those families living in the projects run by the gangs and the armed thugs? Shame on you and your feckless liberalism that makes law-abiding people become victims of those you side with.



The shame of Brown University (UPDATED)

UPDATE: Brown Shirts at Brown U? by Mona Charen;  "These outrages get noticed in the conservative press and largely ignored by others. It goes without saying that such tolerance for intolerance would not prevail if conservative students behaved this way toward, say, an advocate of same-sex marriage.

"Members of the press indulge left-wing students, imagining that their hearts are in the right place even if their heads are a little hot."....
Self-styled “activists” such as those at Brown (along with Al Sharpton, would-be mayor Bill de Blasio, and the federal judge who ruled “stop and frisk” unconstitutional) claim to speak for the poor and minorities. But who speaks for the majority of law-abiding blacks and Hispanics bullied and harmed by criminals in their housing projects and neighborhoods? As Heather Mac Donald of City Journal points out, “the per-capita rate of shooting in Brownsville, Brooklyn, is 81 times higher than in Bay Ridge, which explains why the stop rate in Brownsville is 15 times higher.”

[NYPD commissioner] Ray Kelly Was Booed off the Stage at Brown University    "...Kelly, who is not very well-loved in some circles for his support and implementation of "stop-and-frisk" law enforcement tactics, was supposed to give a lecture on "Proactive Policing in America's Biggest City" for the school's Taubman Center for Public Policy and American Institutions." ...

 
Welcome to your modern American college campus  "Where the biggest mouths — almost always left-wing — shout down and shut down voices they don’t like."
Brown U Protesters Kelly

Brown Prof recalls when a real fascist came to campus, calls Ray Kelly shout down “a shameful day”    "The completely politicized hyperbole by those at Brown — including many faculty members — who supported shutting Kelly down says a lot about the difference between campuses then and now.
And how campuses have become that which they purport to oppose."
 
But another Brown Prof apologizes for inviting Ray Kelly  Shameful and cowardly. “ 'especially to my black students and Latino brothers and sisters.” Also, asked for list of who not to invite in future, but says was “tongue in cheek” request."

Brown University Does Damage Control Following Disgraceful Protest  "Sad day when Brown stifles free speech — no matter who is exercising it; no matter what their point of view may be."

Obamacare isn't shovel-ready yet

"Shovel" is such a serendipitous word for this whole mess.
Next Tuesday and the Fate of ObamaCare  "Republicans running in 2014 and 2016 are watching whether Ken Cuccinelli wins to determine if they should be bold, hard-charging Ted Cruzes, or whether they should roll over by making weak, token passes at ObamaCare that will do nothing but ensure its permanence. More here.


 The Obamacare Whiners  "It’s a little late to get Republican buy-in, though. That would have required serious compromise back in 2009, when Democrats, at the high tide of their power in the Obama era, saw no reason to make any."

Even Jimmy Carter Is Criticizing Obama Over Disastrous Obamacare Rollout…   "You know Obama is having a rough time when even the second worst president of all-time is criticizing him."
