http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/pence-stop-and-frisk-228635Mike Pence defended his running mate Donald Trumps call for nationwide stop-and-frisk policies that they claim have been effective in preventing crime despite concerns it could exacerbate ties with minority communities.
Its on a sound constitutional footing, Pence said on "Fox News Sunday," after acknowledging that one federal court struck down the practice after statistics revealed it targeted overwhelming numbers of African-American and Hispanic residents in New York.
The Indiana governor, describing an avalanche of violence wracking Chicago, said the policy gives police authority to search those they think may be involved or about to be involved in criminal activity.
Pence sidestepped a question about Trumps claim that lax vetting of immigrants somehow contributed to last weekends terrorist attacks in Minnesota, New York and New Jersey. The attackers implicated in those incidents were both admitted to the United States as children.
