[“As recently as January [Bloomberg] was still vigorously defending” stop-and-frisk — that’s Centrist for arbitrary street interrogation — and arguing “we certainly did not pick somebody by race.”](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/17/opinion/bloomberg-stop-and-frisk.html”) Is that so? 2003–2013, there were over 5 MILLION S&Fs. Percentage by race/ethnicity per year:

blax: 54, 55, 54, 53, 54, 53, 55, 54, 53, 55, 56

latinx: 31, 32, 32, 29, 31, 32, 32, 33, 34, 32, 29

Those numbers are so consistent you’d almost think there was a policy. Oh, wait, there was.

Since his apology isn’t very convincing, maybe we could fine him 5B. But that’s a meager 10% of his fortune. He wouldn’t even notice it.
