This was Bloomberg's interview on 2015. He says the truth, but this release may end his run for pres. Excuse if already posted.

People say, 'Oh my God, you are arresting kids for marijuana who are all minorities.' Yes, that's true. Why? Because we put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods. Yes, that's true. Why'd we do it? Because that's where all the crime is. And the way you should get the guns out of the kids' hands is throw them against the wall and frisk them," Bloomberg says.

On NPR today,

I should've done it (the apology) faster and sooner. I regret that and I have apologized — and I have taken responsibility for taking too long to understand the impact it had on Black and Latino communities," Bloomberg said in the statement. "This issue and my comments about it do not reflect my commitment to criminal justice reform and racial equity."

Actually John Lott countered Bloombergs comments today about the statistics that he was using. They are way off the mark.
For some reason, that strikes me as funny! Micro Mike being corrected by John Lott, but because he couldn't even get his "lawr n erder" posturing right!
 
Total BS.
He meant every word he said. The 2015 Aspen Institute was also where he said that minority males weren't responsible enough to own guns because they're bad people.
He didn't apologize before, he had the recordings suppressed. This is not new news. He hates everybody who's not him.
 
When he comes to the area, someone PLEASE axe him, Since 95% of the murders are committed by one demographic, why don’t you focus there and leave the rest of us safe, law abiding citizens alone? Or something along those lines.
Bloomberg, “95% of your murders – murderers and murder victims fit one M.O.,” Bloomberg allegedly states in the audio. “You can just take the description, Xerox it and pass it out to all the cops. They are male, minorities, 16-25. That’s true in New York, that’s true in virtually every city and that’s where the real crime is.”

“You’ve got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that are getting killed,” he continued. “You want to spend the money on a lot of cops in the streets. Put those cops where the crime is, which means in minority neighborhoods.”

The "minorities" may not like it, but year after year, the FBI crime statistics back up the claim. A population group consisting of roughly 12% of the population commits about 30% of the violent crime and commits over 50% of the murder and robbery. The figures for that groups' youth are even higher at over 60%. Obviously it is a subset of that population group that is committing the crime, which means a very small percentage of the population is responsible for most of the crime. This does make the case for focusing efforts in those areas, just as one goes duck hunting near water and not in the desert.
