Description
This week, Senator John Kennedy called for the city of New Orleans to allow NOPD to use stop-and-frisk to prevent crime.
We’re going to take a look at those statements and what’s already happening in your Breakdown.
Let’s start with Kennedy’s 30-minute speech.
He took the Senate floor and began by saying New Orleans is under attack. He also said, “We’ve [The City of New Orleans] tried everything but one thing: Stop and frisk.”
He also said, “It is time to allow the men and women of the New Orleans Police Department to use stop and frisk without fear of losing their jobs.”
Kennedy made similar statements in 2015, when he was state treasurer, and again in 2017 on Eyewitness Morning News.
