The Democratic 2020 candidate and former New York City mayor made the remarks in a 2015 talk at the Aspen Institute.
Bloomberg claimed in the 2015 talk that stop and frisk reduced gun murders in New York City:"Other people don't like the fact that that's what we do. But that's what stops this."
"One of the unintended consequences is people say, 'Oh my god, you are arresting kids for marijuana, they're all minorities.' Yes, that's true, why? Because we put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods. Yes, that's true. Why did we do it? Because that's where all the crime is. And the first thing you can do for people is to stop them getting killed.
"NYPD's deployment of extra police to high crime neighborhoods contributed far more to the crime reduction than the use of stop, question, and frisk," MacDonald wrote on the"Research on the NYPD's program of Operation Impact found that extra police deployed to high crime areas in New York was a major factor in the crime decline: a 12 percent to 15 percent reduction.
Bloomberg said during his Aspen talk that he was invited to speak at a black church in Harlem about his stop and frisk policy shortly before leaving office.
