Flashback Quote of the Day

“If cops are not doing stop-and-frisk, they are not doing their jobs. It
is a basic, fundamental tool of police work in the whole country. If you
do away with stop-and-frisk, this city will go down the chute as fast
as anything you can imagine.”

— New York City police chief designate William Bratton, quoted by the New Yorker in May, expressing very different views than Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio.
