Stop and frisk revived…

This is,  as VP Biden so famously said,  a BFD,  not because a federal appeals court on Thursday blocked a judge’s ruling finding the New York Police Department’s stop-and-frisk policy discriminated against minorities,  but because it took the unusual step of removing her from the case,  saying interviews she gave during the trial called her impartiality into question.

I cannot stress how unusual this is,  because courts are notoriously loath to question the impartiality of a fellow jurist,  much less remove one from a case.  The action was plainly warranted in this instance,  but it rarely happens.

Stop and frisk…

…may just survive,  since its opponents are having monumental  difficulty backing  up any of the claims they made.

Less frisk, more crime…

Remember all the fuss about racist NYPD’s   stop and frisk  program?   Well,  the screamers and whiners successfully stopped the program,  and now crime is rising.
