It is clear that crime rates plunged in NY during Giuliani's time in office, as well as the terms of his successor, Michael Bloomberg, who ramped up the stop-and-frisk program.

Then, when asked about his message to the rioters in Charlotte, and what he would do to combat the crime rate in cities like Chicago, Trump took the opportunity to restate his unrelenting support for stop-and-frisk. "It was in bad shape, crime wise, with all the shootings and everything", he said. In his resignation letter he attributed the decline in crime in New York City, the nation's largest with 8.5 million people, to additional officers and an emphasis on building bonds within neighborhoods.

The stop-and-frisk practice, championed by former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani, involved targeting people for searches by police based exclusively on their appearance.

"They're proactive, and if they see a person possibly with a gun or they think may have a gun, they will see the person, and they'll look and they'll take the gun away", Trump said, defining what he thought the program should look like.

"Chicago is out of control". "I would do stop-and-frisk". They asked me about Chicago.

"I think Chicago needs stop-and-frisk", Trump said Thursday.

A NY federal judge struck the tactic down as unconstitutional in 2013 for discriminating against black and Hispanic individuals.

"One of the things I'd do.is I would do stop-and-frisk". "You know, you really help people sort of change their mind automatically".

The BBC programme said it tried to contact Murphy's representatives to put the claims to him but received no reply. "I know from my experience in the IRA that murders have to be approved by the leadership", he said.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton meets with members of her staff onboard her campaign plane en route to Westchester County Airport in White Plains, N.Y., from Florida, Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016. The latter sentence applies to Mr. Trump when it comes to essentially any government function. He has no experience in the black community or any other inner city community.

The researchers found that a high rate of stop-and-frisks was not associated with reduced crime when the practice was indiscriminate.

Trump was responding to a question about recent violence in African American communities.

"Stop-and-frisk worked. We had tremendous shootings, numbers of shootings".

Donald Trump said debate moderator Lester Holt shouldn't try to fact-check the candidates at next week's presidential debate.

"NYC politicians better stop pandering", real estate mogul Trump at the time.

In New York, the practice of stop and frisk is usually associated with Raymond Kelly's second stint as New York's police commissioner, which began in 2002.

"The idea of creating a national stop-and-frisk policy is the equivalent of advancing martial law and is beyond the constitutional power of the presidency", Marc H. Morial, president of the National Urban League, told the New York Times in an email. The city under Mayor Michael Bloomberg appealed that ruling, but those efforts were dropped under de Blasio's administration, and the city is participating in an ongoing reform and oversight process, which is supervised by a federal monitor.
