De Blasio, a Democrat, told reporters after the meeting that it was important for the Republican president-elect to hear the voices from "outside the transition bubble" to understand why people were "so deeply concerned." The mayor said he talked to Trump about financial regulation on Wall Street, taxes, immigration, the city's Muslim community and the policing tactic known as stop and frisk, which was pioneered in New York City but was later abandoned because it disproportionately targeted minorities.

54 percent of Stop and Frisk instances involved black people while Hispanics accounted for 29 percent.

'Stop and frisk' had saved lives and reduced crime in New York City under Giuliani, the Trumpcampaign said in a statement.

Stop and frisk offers an exception to the warrant requirement, allowing police officers to interrogate any person for whom there is a reasonable belief that he or she is engaging in criminal behavior.

"Stop and frisk" isn't just a reality in New York City.

Mayor Bloomberg and Commissioner Kelly's support for stop-and-frisk stem from their beliefs that it is an effective mechanism for fighting crime by reducing the number of guns and drug sales on New York City streets (Stop and Frisk, 2013).

Over and over, de Blasio stressed that Bratton will try to continue the city's record public safety gains while improving police-community relations, which he said he believes have been strained by the police tactic known as stop and frisk.
