The idea is to protect those innocent people who live in those same neighborhoods that can't leave.  We have a duty to do what we can to protect them. If one innocent life can be saved because we stopped and frisked hundreds, I support that. Look, there are bad people on both sides.  You may get a racist cop out there that feels he is the answer.  BUT, I believe that 99 out of 100 cops want to protect those they serve and are just trying to fight the violence in those poor neighborhoods.</blockquote>
