“Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg, who has moved toward joining the Democratic presidential race, apologized Sunday for his handling of stop-and-frisk, a controversial policing tactic that has been criticized as a kind of racial profiling and that Bloomberg defended as recently as early this year,” the Washington Post reports.
“Bloomberg expressed regrets at a predominantly black megachurch he has visited many times, telling congregants that he didn’t understand the full effects on African American and Latino communities quickly enough and should have curtailed the program sooner.”
“The speech served as one of the clearest indicators yet that the billionaire businessman might soon join the crowded Democratic primary.”
