Bloomberg heard in 2015 audio clip defending ‘stop and frisk,’ throwing minority kids against wall: report
By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News

    A newly surfaced recording from a 2015 speech by Michael Bloomberg, in which the former three-term mayor of New York City gives a full-throated defense of the controversial policing procedure known as "stop and frisk," is threatening to undermine the 2020 presidential candidate's subsequent apologies for backing the policy and hurt his status with minority voters.

President Trump blasted his fellow New Yorker as the audio emerged, saying in a Tuesday morning tweet as the New Hampshire primary was getting underway: '"WOW, BLOOMBERG IS A TOTAL RACIST!" The tweet was later taken down, without explanation -- but his campaign manager Brad Parscale soon afterward tweeted "#BloombergIsARacist," next to a separate clip of Bloomberg complaining in a radio interview that police stop white people "too much" and minorities "too little."

Bloomberg says black neighborhoods are 'where the real crime is' in newly surfaced audio

This seems like a real big deal, I listened to the tape this morning... and then, I'm thinking, it is false? Is it not true?

Okay, I think he says something like 95% of the crime is committed by, he doesn't say blacks but he says

Quote
"Ninety-five percent of murders- murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take a description, Xerox it, and pass it out to all the cops," he said. "They are male, minorities, 16-25. That's true in New York, that's true in virtually every city (inaudible). And that's where the real crime is. You've got to get the guns out of the hands of people that are getting killed."

From the Fox network.

Is that false? Maybe 95% is too high but let's say it's 80% or 75%, I'm not positive what he said that is overtly racist and Trump appears to have tweeted from the Washington Times story above:

President Trump tweeted on a copy of the video, ‘“WOW, BLOOMBERG IS A TOTAL RACIST!” The tweet was later deleted.

So, this is kind of a watch the fur fly story.

Is that really what he said?  You've got to disarm the victims?
