#BlackLivesMatter

Mayor de Blasio did it again. He implicitly endorsed another slur against cops — this time, that they “intentionally discriminate” against minorities.

He did this in his settlement of the remaining stopandfrisk case, Davis v. the City of New York. This suit accuses cops of overly aggressive, racebased stops and trespassing arrests in publichousing buildings. Under the settlement, the NYPD will change its rules, making it harder for cops to detain or arrest suspects in these buildings. It will also pay out $270,000 to some defendants.

As bad as the slur on the cops may be, it’s the residents — minority kids and grandmothers — who’ll suffer most. Without aggressive policing, the lobbies and stairwells of these buildings can turn into hangouts for dangerous gang members or others who make life miserable for everyone else living there.

Residents know this well: A 2012 survey showed 65 percent of residents felt the steps in place back then to stop trespassers weren’t tough enough. “Trespassers make it unsafe,” one complained. Another demanded greater “police presence during the evenings to stop drug dealing and groups loitering.” Yet this week’s settlement will likely just lead to more trespassing — and more crime, large and small — in public housing, not less.

Back during the campaign, de Blasio and the other Democratic candidates spent a night in an East Harlem publichousing project. Two days later, an AfricanAmerican woman was shot dead in the same project. If black lives matter, shouldn’t New York be helping cops keep these areas safe rather than making the jobs there more difficult?
