New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly appear to be on the same page. Apparently, Bloomberg seems to think that minorities are "understopped" as well. New York City Council passed two bills created to remedy some of the problems caused by stop-and-frisk.

None
He might want to check the numbers.
