Earlier tonight, Michael Bloomberg spoke the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, where he defended the use of "Stop and Frisk" during his time as New York Mayor, saying "most police departments around the world do the same thing, they just don’t report it or use the terminology." 
While speaking at Annapolis, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg also blasted efforts to legalize marijuana, calling it "perhaps the stupidest thing we’ve ever done."
Bloomberg also had some criticism for the press in America, which he says is "focused on clicks and eyeballs," which leads to a "dumbing down" of discourse.
In his remarks at Annapolis, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg also paid tribute to the late Senator John McCain, an alumnus of the US Naval Academy, touting their shared record of bipartisanship and praising the senator for campaigning for him in his first bid for NYC Mayor.
