Stop-and-frisk debate
"Welcome to Chicago." A Bronx cop using that quote to set off a war of words with the Windy City over stop-and-frisk. Chicago is dealing with a surge in murders that set off a national debate over handguns. Now some police in New York City are suggesting the ruling that declares stop-and-frisk unconstitutional will send the crime rate soaring there. Anderson took a closer look at all of this with Philadelphia Police Commisioner Charles Ramsey, conservative blogger Crystal Wright, and criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos.
Check out part two of the debate here:

We need to stop blaming the police department for our ills. They're our only allies against violent gun toting thugs. Aren't we sick and tired of seeing mothers and fathers grieving over their murdered children. Let's stop tying the hands of those whose job it is to protect us.
Why are we crying about Stop and Frisk? The purpose of stop and frisk is to keep the gun toting thugs at bey. Aren't we sick and tired of the senseless murders of even toddlers but as soon as government makes an attempt to do something about it everyone cries foul. We're a mixed up and fickle society.
I think the United States is becoming very militarized within the police departments. New York's stop and frisk law is way out of line. Anderson, it should make your rediculist.
