Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump brushed off concerns that stop-and-frisk policing tactics by the New York Police Department were unconstitutional and said those policies are necessary to keep guns out of criminals hands.

“It worked very well in New York, it borught the crime rate way down but you take the guns away from criminals that shouldn’t be having that,” Trump said. “We have gangs that are roaming the street illegally here, illegal immigrants. And, they have guns and they shoot people.”
