New York – New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner criticized the NYPD’s “stop and frisk” program during an appearance at the Rev. Al Sharpton’s headquarters in Harlem.

The former congressman said Saturday that police have to make sure they aren’t targeting young black and Hispanic men because of their race.
Every year, police officers briefly detain and question hundreds of thousands of innocent New Yorkers in an attempt to find weapons or drugs.
The police department says the stops deter crime.
Weiner says there is “virtually zero” chance his own toddler son will be stopped by police when he is 17 years old.
But Weiner said that Jordan might get in trouble. He added, “Being my son I have a feeling he might.”
The reference to Weiner’s 2011 texting scandal drew laughter.
Why wouldn’t the police stop his 17 year old Arab American son?
I was thinking that, even though he (AW) was an idiot, he was our idiot. But anyone who can stand next to Sharpton is no friend of mine.
Dus lachen zeiner, kikt ois vi a nars…
Look at the location of this statement. He seems to be pandering to whichever crowd is in front of him. However, his statement doesn’t surprise me because he is and always will be an extreme liberal. Look at his facial expression. Is this the face of a normal person?
hes such a loser. he needs to get s real job. not one word that comes out of his mouth is sincere. Hes such a weiner.
Of course he does’t believe in stop and frisk, or stop and think, or stop those tweets. Anthony Weiner has been, and always will be like a leave that blows whichever way the wind blows.
I can’t believe that this sexual pervert is actually being taken seriously by some voters. Not only is he a pervert, but he is also a liar, who cannot be trusted. We expect better of our politicians. Hence, someone with that sort of character cannot be trusted to become Mayor. If he engages in such activity again, he could conceivably be blackmailed by someone on the Internet. Incidentally #7 , the word is “leaf”, and not “leave”.
