Noah: People Talk About Stop-and-Frisk Like It Was Some Magical Medicine To Cure Crime

NOAH: "That's not what's happening. I'm not saying stop-and-frisk is worthless, but even though it took illegal guns off the street, it had other costs. In fact, a  recent Yale-Columbus study shown that when police regularly harass a community, that community could lose its respect for the law and that could very well lead to a rise in crime. Here's an easy way to think of it. Imagine you were in a relationship and you're completely faithful but every single day the person you're dating goes, are you cheating on me? Show me your phone, what are you doing? Are you cheating on me? Show me your phone! Show me your phone! Good. I'm glad we have been working on healing the divide in our relationship. Want to go to dinner? No. Busy? Show me your phone! People talk about stop-and-frisk like it was some magical medicine that cured crime."
