The Issue: Criticism of Mayor Bloomberg following his remarks that the city stops too few minorities.
***
Is Mayor Bloomberg wrong about stop-and-frisk (“Color by Numbers,” Editorial, June 29)?
Maybe. But since when is it used just for catching murderers?
Isn’t it being used to help solve all types of crime?
Looking at NYPD crime-figure totals with regard to suspects’ race is the only way we will know if what he says is the truth or not.

One question for all of the mayoral wannabes: What is it that you don’t like about the lowest murder rate in New York City since records have been kept?
Whoever makes an argument for increased violent crime should be dismissed out of hand by each and every law-abiding citizen of this city.
I still think that there are more law-abiding citizens living in New York than criminals.
Not counting the City Council, that is.

The Post’s editorial read: “Let’s be clear about the mayor: We would not have defended stop-and-frisk the way he did yesterday.”
Perhaps that’s because The Post has a problem with being honest and, like the rest of the media, is muzzled by political correctness.
As someone who never agrees with anything “His Majesty” Bloomberg says or does, I find myself on his side this time.
His remark indicated one thing — he was simply being honest.
What I fail to understand is why he and his lap-dog, Commisioner Ray Kelly, don’t simply publicize NYPD and court arrest records — public property — which will clearly show what we all know to be factual: The overwhelming majority of violent crime in this city is committed by blacks and Hispanics.
Of course, the truth is the very last thing the radical leftists on the City Council want to hear.A. Levy
