Another NYPD outrage

NYPD has secretly labeled all mosques as "terrorist organizations."  That "allows police to use informants to record sermons and spy on imams, often without specific evidence of criminal wrongdoing.  Designating an entire mosque as a terrorism enterprise means that anyone who attends prayer services there is a potential subject of an investigation and fair game for surveillance."  Welcome to Mayor Bloomberg's world.  This guy is not only a threat to the Second Amendment and Fourth Amendment, but freedom of religion and privacy are also in danger. 

NYPD stop and frisk program unconstitutional. Bloomberg's obsessive hatred of guns leads to disregard for the law.

Mayor Bloomberg and NYPD in their misguided attempts to use stop and frisk to "get guns of the street," ran afoul of the Constitution.  The U.S. District Court ruled that the racial profiling involved violated the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment. Few observers were surprised.  Bloomberg reacted angrily, and self-righteously as usual when frustrated by the law.  The obsession with guns resulted in violation of the Constitutional rights of black New Yorkers.  Apparently, to some, this is a small price to pay to get the guns off the street.  A small look at life when the anti-gun ideologues are in charge.  Left-wing authoritarianism on display.
