    Maybe if the cops could just stop and frisk anyone on the street anytime they feel like it, everything would be ok?

      The correlation between the two was surely coincidental. It’s tough to choose that as the cost of getting the other.

        To be clear, my view is that “stop and frisk” is a license that a racist system sought to legitimize their racist actions.

        I guess my sarcasm didnt come through in my post, but does anyone really think that “random” stop and frisk would have stopped this attack?

          Some people are unironically that batshit, though.

          We really out here like “Maybe if there were more police violence this wouldn’t have happened” and still need a ‘/s’ lmao
