PRESIDENTIAL RACE | House Speaker Ryan won't weigh in on Trump's policing remark
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan is refusing to weigh in on Donald Trump's embrace of the "stop-and-frisk" policing tactic.
The Wisconsin Republican said today that he hasn't given it enough thought to comment.
Trump asserted earlier today that Chicago needs to stop and frisk people to bring crime under control. He said he was only referring to that city.
A federal judge has ruled New York City had used the practice unconstitutional because of its overwhelming impact on minority residents.
Ryan said he doesn't know enough about the tactic to comment about its constitutionality or efficacy.
Ryan has deflected questions on other Trump proposals too by saying he doesn't know enough to comment.
