Mayor de Blasio is poised to drop the city’s appeal of a federal court ruling that found the NYPD’s stop and frisk practices violated the rights of minorities.
Former Mayor Mike Bloomberg filed the appeal last fall before leaving office.
Rev. Al Sharpton, a stop-and-frisk critic, confirmed de Blasio’s move.
“This is a big breakthrough. We should not be using any police tactics to masquerade racial profiling,” Sharpton said.
De Blasio is expected to announce the withdrawal of the suit at a noon press conference at City Hall, sources said.
The left often says when confronted by opposition to a intrusive law that if you did nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about, right?
Who is willing to bet that there will be no spike in murder in the black communities?
