Michael Bloomberg unveiled a suite of proposals on Tuesday aimed at addressing racial disparities in the criminal justice system, reducing the prison population and investing in reintegration initiatives.

The policy rollout, which comes as the former New York mayor faces intense and renewed criticism for his past comments defending the implementation of "stop and frisk," aims to cut the prison population in half by 2030, soften some federal drug and sentencing laws and fund community engagement and rehabilitation programs.The policy plan puts Bloomberg in line with his Democratic primary rivals, most of whom released their plans months ago and included many of the same proposals.

Bloomberg launched a late, unconventional campaign for the Democratic nomination -- pumping more than $400 million into television ads blanketing the country and a behemoth of a campaign operation with more than 2,400 staff in 43 states.

“Michael Bloomberg unveiled a bunch of shit he could’ve done when he ran NY, but didn’t.”

He interest me and yes we need HillaryClinton to us help fire up the base. I ❤️ her and she drives the republicans insane 😂. She is the queen of the dems👑 justdoit

I don’t care what your politics are, this man is a slime and I urge everyone to vote for Mickey Mouse before voting for this clown

Bloomberg is a raciest

Twitter should censor the Bernie Bros.. boy they are freaking annoying and they will be the reason Bernie loses. I’m so much voting for Bloomberg

Stop begging Bloomberg

Bloomberg is everything they accused Trump was but without the evidence. I don’t like shaunking but I respect his decision to not vote for Bloomberg solely because he is the only one let

So funny now he is so concerned....what a joke

Coming from Bloomberg the racist?

Worse than Trump. Hard Pass.

Oligarch MikeBloomberg hypocrite tyrant. StopAndFriskBillionaire

Could this be related to down sizing the sodas given to them in jail

Just words.

Trump already did this.

Way to go Bloomberg.

This guy shouldn't be proposing anything race related.

I called Bloomberg a tyrant, I take it back, he’s a rat 🐀. We couldn’t get rid of him in NYC, he bullied his way with his money and lawyers to get a 3rd term. Don’t believe a word he says.

More important than WHAT he'll do, he should be discussing HOW he'll do it. It's gonna be tough to negotiate with the Republicans on the Senate

NeverBloomberg

Ah the guy who targeted minorities, removing them from society for nonviolent offenses under the guise of stemming violent crime is now pandering for their votes. Cool

Reducing prison population by releasing criminals so they can vote Democrat and commit more crimes. Brilliant plan.

You mean like the First Step Act/Prison Reform? It's already done under this Administration. Bloomberg is pandering, clearly.

MikeBloomberg that’s the way to go sir, you are going to make it!

Just amaze how many black so-call leaders and TV clowns are going to turn a blind eye to this racist because he's buying the black support with them! Throw $$$ their way and they look the other way!

After he said any idiot can be a farmer and that he deployed his police into minority neighborhoods because that’s where all the crime is...he’s a real saint...pandering for votes now and trying to buy an election. Pathetic.

Why are so many Trump supporters on this thread attacking him? I know you are scared that he may get the nomination.

Wel look at that, another Bernie policy that Bloomberg is adopting. Shows how powerful Bernie’s campaigning is and how much his policies are liked by us, so much so that other candidates are copying him. Why vote for a copycat when you can vote for the original?

I guess that was right after the tape showing him demeaning Blacks and Latinos? What a miraculous rebirth!

Yeah....because its working so well in NY. Redefining crime is not the way to minimize prison population, it just increases victims.

🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤐

Its funny to me having watched 3 years of Trump getting attacked for being a racist rich white man, now watching a well documented racist and FAR more rich guy be defended by those same people.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHA

As long it keeps DV abusers behind bars. keep letting out or giving plea deals &they murder victims and children. Anger mgmt doesn’t work! When is it enough? Also fighting for a DV/financial abuse BILL stop making survivors live in poverty. It lasts 10yrs +. MikeBloomberg

So, Democrats, I have a poll for you. If you want to VoteBlueNoMatterWho What happens if Bloomberg is the nominee?

Bet on your intellect in these choices. Fortune, media popularity, and barking for the public, somehow does not work in politics. Well, unless chauvinism and national socialism are desired in American society.

He is a total racist. Look at his comments about black and Latino teen males. Disgusting.

Bloomby is just protecting his own assets. No one believes he cares one whit about the plight of jailed folks.

'A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.'

C'mon CNN! Are you really going to be part of Democratic establishments efforts to rebuild Bloomberg's image rather than reporting on his long history or racist policies?

Racial disparities? Like grabbing minority men against the wall because we commit all the crimes? Like that? Eat a dick CNN

This tool is all hat and no cattle. He’s every single super wealthy stereotype rolled into one: an obnoxious bore who couldn’t solve a crossword puzzle without his checkbook.

They'll say Anything. Trust in Trump. KAG 🇺🇸

Lol, no reason not to believe him.

I’m excited to see this rich white billionaire duke it out over the other rich white billionaire to decide what’s best for us common folk.

Trump already did this ...Fake News CNN just won’t report it

Bloomberg is a Nazi.

What if it could happen and he was the one who could do it? Just asking 🤷‍♂️

...VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO..

Is he going to implement StopAndFrisk again

dems are so quick to brush him off, and thats why Trump will win again

if any POC votes for Bloomberg after stop-and-frisk, they are kicked out of the demographic This black voter WILL NOT vote for Bloomberg or any other racist. He's doing an ad blitz and buying endorsements from corrupt Democrats. Won't matter in the end. He has no business running as a Dem and will tank eventually.

Miners welcome Indonesia's new jobs bill that could spur coal growthMiners have welcomed proposed changes to Indonesian mining rules under a new law... Mining? LoL 😂 49ers! Indonesia would be better served to create a bill that focuses on creating renewable energy growth, not only is it better for the environment and where the future is heading, but also creates more jobs and is even more profitable. COAL GROWTH, ass-backward & arguably reckless. Indonesia - population 270M, $1.1T (16) - has TROPICAL climate (and mega exposure to RISING OCEAN). LONG daylight allows year-round farming.
