San Francisco mayor issues statement on ‘stop and frisk’

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee has been trying to fight back against violence in the city by attempting to bring in a “stop and frisk” policy.

He has been under pressure to stop this campaign from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors (specifically Malia Cohen) and civil liberties groups like the Black Young Democrats of San Francisco.

The criticism is that this policy will focus on racial profiling.

For those who are serious about fighting issues like this (death and violence) that occur over cities and regions see prophet.tv for real answers.  To receive more understanding specifically see this teaching from the Building the Warrior teaching series.
