Former Mayor Mike "Me Culpa" Bloomberg. Stop & Frisk & Bike law enforcement. Commentary 11/18/19


Billionaire former mayor Michael R Bloomberg has expressed remorse for employing
stop and frisk tactics on the New York residents-primarily of color while he served 3
terms in office.

There is a complimentary or corollary issue that also deserves a belated apology.
It also undermined the NYPD. While Bloomberg and  Comm Ray Kelly were
hounding the people of color they were allowing the scofflaw bike riders to go scott
free. Enabling a wildly irresponsible bike culture and undermining the authority of
the NYPD. A neat one two trick gentlemen.

And while the current mayor is at it perhaps he could start supporting the NYPD to
become the backbone of a responsible bike culture and apply consistent effective enforcement.
So cyclists protect themselves, fellow cyclists, pedestrians and motorists.
