I lived in NYC during the Giuliani Administration and was visiting this past September when DeBlasio got elected.
I was under the impression he promised a complete break with Giuliani/Bloomberg police practices and the unconditional end of stop and frisk.
Today he brought back Giuliani's police commissioner, and according to the article below, said "stop and frisk has to be used with respect."
Now, most journalists suck at their jobs, and quite possibly vital context is missing from that article. If not, this strikes me as the biggest and most blatant betrayal by an elected official I've ever heard of. Overbearing NY police were the reason he got elected.
Can anyone explain what's going on?
