“The stark reality is that violence is happening disproportionately in minority communities,” Kelly told NBC host David Gregory on Sunday. “We have record-low numbers of murders in New York City, record-low numbers of shootings. We’re doing something right to save lives. Last year, as I said, we had a record low in numbers of murders. This year, we’re running 30 percent below that.”
“I understand the sensitivity of it,” the commissioner added. “It — very important in the African-American community. I would also submit, though, that the Trayvon Martin case is a little bit different. These are two civilians. There clearly was a tragedy, but it didn’t involve sworn police officers.”
“If a program like stop-and-frisk is abandoned, will people die?” Gregory wondered.
“No question about it, violent crime will go up,” Kelly agreed.
Because, well, Trayvon Martin will happen again and again, and if you don't let the NYPD treat all minorities as pre-criminals, well, somebody's going to get shot when these savage, inhuman thugs escape their cages.
Ray Kelly just disqualified himself from ever holding a law enforcement job again, frankly. I pray that whomever replaces Mike Bloomberg in NYC as Mayor takes their first day on the job to make a city-wide holiday of firing Ray Kelly's ass, complete with balloons for the kids. I'm hoping that someone is Bill de Blasio, by the way.
And yes, If President Obama somehow nominates this racist assclown as Homeland Security head, I'll lose my stuff. With the ruling against stop and frisk, it's not going to happen however.
And that's good thing.

And if the ruling stands, the NYPD is in the perfect position to make sure that his prediction is correct. Instead of stop & frisk they'll use their other tactic, shoot & close ranks.
