Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump praised the controversial "stop-and-frisk" police tactic Wednesday, saying it "worked incredibly well" when it was used in New York City. Trump was speaking at a town hall moderated by Fox News' Sean Hannity at a mostly black church in Cleveland, Ohio when he was asked how he would stop violence in black communities. In response, Trump pointed to "stop-and-frisk", which allows police to stop and search any person officers deem suspicious. "We did it in New York, it worked incredibly well and you have to be proactive." "Stop-and-frisk" drew complaints from New York City minorities, who claimed they were being disporportionately stopped for searches by officers.
