Asking me if I’ll vote for Bloomberg when I am trying to talk to you about the serious impact of stop and frisk on POC during the time I lived there is a sign of your obvious unwillingness to consider the harm he’s caused.

Don’t ask me again. You know what you’re doing. So do I.
One other thing: imagine the most invasive TSA pat down you’ve ever had. Maybe your crotch gets grabbed, or your boobs. Maybe you’re asked to spread your legs while they check your thighs.

Now imagine that happening every day on your way to school or work, randomly, anywhere.
Now imagine that you were powerless to stop it and it was your entire life, day in, day out, for 12+ years.

Crotch grabbing, spread legs, being touched everywhere, no matter where, for no reason.

Now imagine everyone around you saying: vote for the guy who made that happen.
Now imagine millions of people saying, suck it up, he’s apologized, vote blue no matter who, will you vote for him in the general?

Imagine that being asked of you over and over again.

How would that make you feel about that candidate as your president?
