Michael Bloomberg is supposedly entering the Democrat presidential race as a "moderate" candidate because Joe Biden is stumbling (to say the least). Now, before even officially joining the race, Bloomberg is issuing an apology for the "stop and frisk" program that ran in New York City while he was mayor. That program allowed police to stop and frisk people on the street if they had reason to believe the person might have an illegal weapon. The result was that homicides in New York continued the major decline started when Giuliani was mayor. New York was actually the safest large city in the country. When Bloomberg left office, he was replaced by Bill DeBlasio, a far left Democrat who immediately ended stop and frisk. Crime has been rising since then.
Think about this. While mayor, Bloomberg proudly defended stop and frisk as a life saving program that prevented literally hundreds of murders. The left said the program was racist (which is ridiculous). Now, as he enters the presidential race as a supposed moderate, Bloomberg is apologizing for stop and frisk. What's the point of Bloomberg getting into the race if he is just going to be another anodyne far left candidate?
