I agree it's about time. Statistics show that nearly 9 out of 10 people (the overwhelming majority of whom are non-white) stopped and frisked are completely innocent.

The normal, decent person in me says, "It's definitely time."

The skank in me says, "... Well, damn"

These practices are unethical. Period. It's wrong and needs to come to an end.

People who are informed agree Stop and Frisk is effective...

The city’s first black mayor isn’t about to abandon stop-and-frisk.

David Dinkins said such searches can help reduce gun violence.

“I trust Ray Kelly,” said David Dinkins, who first appointed Kelly police commissioner in 1992. “That doesn’t mean Ray can’t make mistakes. We got a lot of police out there, and they’re not all perfect.”

But, Dinkins added, “clearly, it’s a good thing if we can get weapons off the street.”

He joined Rep. Charles Rangel to endorse Bill Thompson for mayor yesterday in Harlem, where the contentious stop-and-frisk issue came up again.

Rangel reiterated his support for allowing cops to do their jobs as long as they follow the law.

“If there is anybody in law enforcement who has reason to believe that someone is carrying a weapon . . . they have a duty based on the evidence they have to search and find out,” said Rangel.

I am soooo glad this has happened. "Stop & Frisk" is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and thinly veiled racial profiling. Kudos to that Federal Judge for possessing some common sense!

Yeah, youre right Carlos, David Dinkins and Charles Rangel must be very racist to be in favor of it.

It's more of a casting couch.

The Criminals will be happy - Bloomberg.

We are giving the NYPD every tool that we possibly can to crack down on illegal guns, even as special interest groups and members of the City Council are trying to take those tools away from the police,” Kelly said..

“I don’t know who you think the criminals are rooting for -- us or the special interests in the City Council, I don’t know. But it seems like they are probably not on our side of this,” Bloomberg said.

“I didn’t see the NYCLU decry the fact that an 11-year-old girl was in the hospital,” he said. “I talked to her father today. She’s paralyzed from the neck down. Just shot by some kid with a gun. You have a right to live in Bed-Stuy and not have bullets whiz past your head.

I'm ecstatic too, Carlos. It's a huge step in eliminating these procedures from our city. Since when does being a black teenager automatically make someone suspicious? It's about time!

It could help officers hone their skills and learn how to see signs and not just skin.

It's about time they did what is right.

Will this affect the cops who wait at the tables in the subways who can go through your bag or does that not fall under "stop and frisk?"

Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

I THINK that's a separate issue due to terror threats...
