Examples of FRISK in a Sentence

1. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders:

   We will not create the energy and excitement we need to defeat Donald Trump if that candidate pursued, advocated for and enacted racist policies like stop and frisk which caused communities of color in his city to live in fear, the simple truth is that Mayor Bloomberg with all Donald Trump money will not create the kind of excitement and energy we need to have the voter turnout we must have to defeat Donald Trump.

2. Bernie Sanders:

   Mr. Bloomberg had policies in New York City of stop-and-frisk that went after African American and Latino people in an outrageous way, i dont think theres any chance of the senator beating President Trump.

3. Michael Bloomberg:

   So, one of the unintended consequences is people say,' Oh my God, you are arresting kids for marijuana that are all minorities.' Yes, that is true. Why ? Because we put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods. Yes, that is true. Why did we do it ? Because that's where all the crime is, and the way you get the guns out of the kid's hands is to throw them up against the walls and frisk them.

4. Harvey Grossman:

   There is no question the superintendent endorses stop and frisk. ... It is part of the fabric of McCarthy's policing.

5. Mayor Bloomberg:

   The way you should get the guns out of the kids hands is to throw them up against the wall and frisk them, the way he feels about people is so demeaning. The policy may have been stop and frisk, but the philosophy was to castigate and denigrate people of color, and its a disgrace.
