A usually defiant Michael
Bloomberg showed the faintest crack in his stubborn stop-and-frisk reasoning in an interview with The
New Yorker's Ken Auletta. "If I had a son who was stopped, I might
feel differently about it, but nevertheless," the mayor
"conceded," according to Auletta, who called the mayor's comments on
the issue occasionally "callous." (Of course, for Bloomberg to have a
son that would be stopped, odds are he'd have to at least appear to be a man of
color.) Bloomberg continued, promptly pivoting away from his personal admission.
"Maybe I was inelegant, but I don't think anybody thinks I am anything but
— I hope not, anyway — supportive of trying to help all people," he said.
"With my own money as well as time, thank you very much. I've spent twelve
years of my life doing this."
