‘Totally Wrong’: Fed. Judge Who Ruled On ‘Stop And Frisk’ Fact-Checks Bloomberg And Biden At Debate

In Mayor Bloomberg’s debut appearance on the Democratic Presidential Debate Stage, his stop and frisk policy was a major issue. Speaking out for the first time since the debate, the Federal Judge who actually ruled on the policy, and spent ten years overseeing litigation about it, says flatly that both Bloomberg and Biden got their facts wrong during the debate. Scheindlin fact checks Bloomberg’s claim that he personally scaled back the policy, noting he expanded it after Mayor Giuliani and then was forced to change gears because of her “court rulings.” As for Biden, Scheindlin said Biden was factually wrong to take credit for the shift – he said at the debate that the Obama-Biden administration caused the policy change with a monitor – noting that was “totally wrong,” and in fact, her federal court “ruling” is what “appointed the monitor” to oversee the rollback of the policy. The judge made the newsworthy comments in an exclusive interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber. Aired on 02/20/20.

  1. Absolutely!!! Racial profiling was a failed policy, and it’s still happening all over everywhere. Police are being called on black folk for no apparent reason. It’s called racial profiling. Black folk are stopped for being black.

  2. A friend of mine was stopped and frisked and found to have a small quantity of marijuana on him. He was sentenced to 4 1/2 years and got more time than that albino freak Roger Stone.

    1. Gov Newsom, D-CA just released and cleared over hundred thousand marijuana convictions 😘 Hopefully as CA goes other governor’s will DO the same!

    2. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA COMING FROM THE NEWS THAT REPEATED FOR MONTHS… “HILLARY WILL WIN 92% HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA DESPERATE IDIOTS, YOUR VOTERS ARE WAKING UP AND WALKING AWAY BY THE THOUSANDS EVERY DAY. HAVE A GREAT NOVEMBER 3, 2020. LIBERAL TEARS AGAIN!!! My question is: why do all of the #Democrat controlled cities have the highest taxes, the most expensive housing, highest cost of living in general & the most social welfare programs, most gun control laws yet they have the most murders, homelessness, crime & horrible poverty????

  3. Judge Shedland is an exceptional federal judge. Intelligent, articulate, Constitutional and factual. And a woman. Trump undoubtably hates her.

    1. and she is related to Judge Judy Scheindlin, who earns about 55 million a year, yes she is a Schnitzel, a German Jew, nothing wrong with that..

  4. Shira Scheindlin was my landlord 40 years ago! She was a Brooklyn district court Judge at that time. I’m happy for who she became. Speaking truth to power!

    1. Because a woman (or a man for that matter) who is succinct, clear, and uncompromising will never be a successful politician.

  5. I’M GLAD THAT ARI MELBER HAD HER ON THE SHOW SO THAT PEOPLE’S OUTSIDE OF NEWSPAPERS YORK CITY WILL 👀 SEE & 👂 HEAR HOW MIKE AND REALLY IS & THAT IS NOT A FRIEND OF THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN OR LATIN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY & HE DOESN’T NEED TO BE FAKIN’ IT ‘TIL HE’S MAKES IT INTO THE WHITE HOUSE & REPRESENTING THE UNITED STATES AT ALL!!🗽🌉🌉🗽💯💪✊😎✌😂😂😂

  6. Any 5th grader would know that the mere idea of “Stop and Frisk” is a violation of the Constitution. These men KNEW it was Unconstitutional yet, did it anyway. All of these men swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. How can we believe your oath when you’ve already been shown to disregard it when it’s convenient.

  7. Thank you. Bring Judge Scheindlin on many more times Ari. She was so factual and succinct. We need more like her so moneymedia and doubletalking politicians can’t cover up or ignore real history for their own benefit.

  8. That judge is one impressive lady. Have her on more often.
    Wait, hire her to regularly share her opinions and observations.
