Former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg once again apologized for his long-time stop and frisk policy over the weekend, addressing supporters at a Virginia brewery.

"I've gotten a lot of grief for it lately, but I defended it for too long," Bloomberg said of the policy, which he utilized during his long tenure as New York City mayor."And because I didn't fully understand the unintentional pain it caused young black and brown kids and their families, I should have acted sooner and I should have stopped it, and I didn't, and I apologize for that.

Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg speaks during a campaign event at Hardywood Park Craft Brewery in Richmond, Va., Saturday, Feb. 15, 2020. An analysis of NYPD data by the New York Civil Liberties Union determined that in 2013,"black and Latino communities continued to be the overwhelming target of these tactics," and that roughly 90% of New Yorkers who were stopped and frisked between 2010 and 2012 were"totally innocent.

Now whats he gonna do about the farmers and unskilled workers he insulted....

TheView Bloomberg if it was a republican/independent democrat . if I acts like a republican looks like a republican votes like a republican has the same policy as a republican has the same racisms as a republican treats minorities like a racists republican than its is a republican

TheView trump family reunion

TheView im going to get you reelected my buddy trump. sighed Bloomberg

This is America. I’m sure more than MikeBloomberg hd put the mark out on poc. Wit the BLM movement along with the MeeToo’s ppl in power day of recogning is here with the “Apologies”. Actions speak louder than words. Raparations is the action this country needs to address.

More stop and frisk is needed. More lives will be saved.

We don't really know you sir.

You speak with fork tongue .. u did nothing wrong with stop and frisk . It made NYC a safer place! If orange ppl were doing most of the crime or white ppl were they would have got stopped and frisked also! U gave in . Just 2 be president.. wrong !

How much in reparations is Bloomberg going to pay each victim of his viscous racial profiling? Why hasn’t a smart attorney filed a class action lawsuit against Bloomberg and NYC?

Play the video where he tells an employee to kill her baby.

Ala George Wallace...sounds familiar

I guess all the Trumpers Forever was let out to come against Mike. Sounds like Paschal of Romanian Fame has called his Gould’s out to attack. No one buying it.

Now all he has to do is apologize for the way he spoke to his women employees, for saying older people shouldn't get treatment if they get cancer, & calling farmers dumb!🙄 Wasn't it he who criticized Beto for making an apology tour? 🤷‍♂️

TheView Where were the apologies BEFORE he started running for president

*intentional pain

He is worthless, listen to his 2015 speech on how easy it is to be a farmer or machines.

TheView Shouldn’t his admitted short sightedness demonstrate that he’s not a president we want? Bombs Germany - OOPS sorry I didn’t realize so many would die.

And now he’s insulting farmers. Hes an elitist pandering and purchasing the vote. Our political system is severely damaged on both sides of the aisle

Eventually, the Black Face Paint will wear off on the Racist Democrats and the Mainstream Media will circle the wagons for them once again.

BloombergIsARacist

TheView His apologies will never be enough. He could go and give reparations to the millions and millions he harmed if he was serious. I still wouldn't believe him though.

TheView Get over it. America. We need trump gon anyway we can

Trump did too.

TheView

TheView According to your campaign surrogate he begged you to apologize years ago.... but you were being stubborn. And decided to do it right before you ran for president.

BloombergIsRacist

All dems have done the same thing. Now they are all 'woke' its all BS Pandering, want proof, dems are calling 4 open borders, Do people understand what would happen to the USA if we opened the Borders? CA already is over crowded with 4-6 mil illegal, Traffic, Water, Crime example

This guys a moron. I support a police officer being able to safely get a situation under control and pat someone down for weapons for all peoples safety if they deem it be needed. I DONT think they should be able to take everything out of your pockets in search of other things

Did he hand out cash so they would forgive him?

Yeah....2015 was a very long time ago...

Let Mike makes America more better

Dude just please go away no one likes you

Odd that Giuliani got lots of pats on the back over the exact same policy.

When you need someone's vote you tend to understand them just a little bit more. 🤣🤣

Too little, way too late!

WE ARE DONE ACCEPTING APOLOGIES. YOUR ONLY APOLOGIZING BECAUSE YOU NEED US. WE ARE DONE. ITS PAY DAY

What about the widespread attacks on women in his company?

Oh, well then, I'm sure all the ones falsely arrested accept your apology and forgive you....

Wonder if Bloomberg can buy off the “Me Too” movement from the stain of numerous women on record concerning his sexuality abusive behavior?

Apologies will be enough for some people. Not for me.

So fake!! Schmuck!

To late! What you did is unforgivable.

stop QUESTION & frisk!! Get it right

manufacturingconsent Bloomberg gives millions to the media so their returning the favor by doing his bidding

Even Trump acknowledged back a few years that it had 'an impact' on New York.. i found it rather interesting that he did not clarify whether it a positive or negative one. Everyone on the left now ASSUMES he meant positive but he never said either way ...

NotMeUs bernie2020

Video of Mini Mike comparing the NY civil liberties union to the NRA and calling them extremists. BY the way? Mini Mike tried to scrub this video from the internet. PLS RT!!!!!

His campaign should be titled “the apology tour” because that’s all he’s been doing. Next it’ll be all our apologies to farmers.

Black people seem to be going to who they think can win regardless of their history with Blacks. They need to realize any one of the current contenders can beat trump if everyone rallies behind the Nominee. Vote with your instincts, and VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

If i was a black man, i would never vote for a white man

Loser.

Mike can't be trusted.

Too little, too late. Plus-no $15 minimum wage and no universal healthcare and legalizing pot is one of the dumbest things you’ve heard of? I will not vote for you.

Notice he said 'I apologise' and not 'I am sorry' or 'I regret'...

Everyone of us have made mistakes Mr. Mike u have the SAME RIGHT AS EVERYONE ELSE TO RUN GOOD FOR U. SOME OF THE OTHERS HAVE BEEN IN OFFICE 40YRS. AN DONE NOTHING FOR THE POOR. WAS JUST. IN DC. GETTING RICH OFF THE BACKS OF THE POOR TAXPAYERS. AN IF THEY GET BACK IN IT'LL BESAME

MSM continues to give Mikey boy a pass, even with mountains of negative evidence.. come on guys, be consistent

He is only sorry he got caught and now he is running for Potus. What a little coward man

Seems that the rest of Dem candidates are disappearing after the Impeachment has been thrown out by the Senate. Meaning the Dems are selling out the Dem to Mr Bloomberg.

'......now that I am running for President and need the black and brown vote to have a chance of winning.'

Mike Bloomberg just shows people he acts like trump without question and knowledge of his implementations he just jumps like a dog attacking so he can get a good response

Trump going to apologize for touching women ?🙄

ublivious It does work. A coworker is giving him chance just cause he apologized and Trump has not. His choice and I will respect it.

And now he can turn to apologizing to our farmers

Once a hate filled racist... Always a hate filled racist. Pay attention everyone to his past. He is also guilty of disrespecting women.

Another apology tour..... Sorry, not sorry

He means it.

Give it a rest. What is done is done. Move on.

starting with apologies don't work anymore....the politically sweet correctness has builded fake politician and real actors. Hollywood is dead and this way of thinking is part of it.

His official minority apology tour🙄

Do me a favor, Mike ... don’t choose Hilary as a running mate. You’ll be sorry (and I voted for her)

Atleast he has the decency to fake an apology unlike 45.

He told one of his employees when she got pregnant and excited to “kill it” I doubt this POS learned shit.

I don’t care how many black politicians you get to say you get a pass, I don’t accept your apology...drop out

Man, wont escape this, it is gonna bite him in the ass all through!

He is honest. Trump isnt it.

I think it's time you stop apologizing. The best solution to end this would be for you to be pulled over by police and treated less than a human being during the unwarranted stop. Where you will be dehumanized because of your skin color.

once again. Oh how magnanimous. Now drop out. We don't want people with such policies as president then wait 10 years for apologies.

Yea okay... everything that comes out of your mouth is....

Ah, he hired a new apology writer

Can we have plastic straws? I can't believe this. He was horrible for that stop and frisk on our people that live here? Because they are black? Unbelievable! Wow

🤮🤮🤮If you are poor you mean not much

🖕🏾

What about the 64 women who accused Bloomberg for sexual harassment and discrimination? Trumpberg

He knew exactly what he was doing. Just another racist rich white guy just like trump.

He doesn't understand. He never will.

Over $400 million so far..

Bloomberg 2020 advisor: Stop-and-frisk was egregiousMichael Bloomberg’s 2020 campaign advisor Tim O’Brien is asked about Bloomberg’s disability rights record during his time as mayor of New York City, the allegations of sexism against the Democratic presidential candidate, and the legacy of stop-and-frisk, telling Joy Reid and her panel, ‘Stop-and-frisk was egregious. Bloomberg will continue to apologize to people of color for the rest of his career.’ I know we need to vet him but it's kind of like chasing away the golden goose before she's laid the golden eggs. How about having Bloomberg sit for an interview? Oh, wait. He can't handle tough questions. Roll another commercial. This people is not a mistake, this is a man who demeans people and his ignornant. To insult hardworking, intelligent farmers like this is pathetic. Bloomberg

Stop-and-frisk grew under Bloomberg constitutional expert says'Wouldn't it be wonderful if our elected officials decided to apologize and seek forgiveness when they were not running for office?' —Vince Warren, Exec. Dir. for the Center for Constitutional Rights, on Mike Bloomberg's recent comments on stop-and-frisk. No - because 'wrong' depends on who you are pandering to. So you have to wait until you need to pander, then issue the insincere apology required to placate the rubes. True he only apologized not because he felt his policies in the past were wrong Now because he is running for President So.convinient ? Or ,? Bloomberg ?
