Stop and frisk was awful policy, and I'm glad he's renounced and apologized for it. But it's not his whole record. I've watched a lot of tweeting and have let it go but I thought I'd take a minute to share some of what I've learned from the campaign. BC no info is bad info. 1/

Interesting he thinks he fixed it. How do you “fix” demonstrating to a generation of black men in NYC that their government sees them as inherently criminal? Does he even understand how that formative experience might affect someone long after the policy ends?

First, the city employee who leaked a confidential document committed a terrible wrong and must be held accountable. The attorney-client privilege exists to protect taxpayers - that’s why a breach is a crime.

Third, the Barbara Bry campaign put a lot of money behind an attack ad knowing it was based on false information and continued running the ad long after it was clear the report was false. That’s a breach of ethics that we should not want in an executive.
