How to use frisk in a sentence?

1. 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.

2. Mason Williams:

   Adams was front and center critiquing (former NYPD Commissioner) Ray Kelly during the 'stop and frisk' controversy, and yet, on the other hand, he still views the NYPD as essential to the health of the city. And he's willing to put more resources into it, which separates him from the radical reformers who want to rethink what they see as over-policing. So that's why he comes across as complicated -- he's embodying these two legacies of the Giuliani and Bloomberg years that typically set people against each other in politics.

3. Democratic Senate:

   There is a real opportunity to build a statewide platform that elevates and exposes the damage created by the school-to-prison pipeline, the prison industrial complex, and ‘tough on crime’ policies like ‘Stop and Frisk’ and cash bail,' restorative justice to me is just common sense.

4. Michael Bloomberg:

   We will not create the energy and excitement we need to defeat President 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 his money will not create the kind of excitement and energy we need to have the voter turnout we must have to defeat President Donald Trump.

5. Former NYPD Commissioner Howard Safir:

   As criminals see the police restrained by new laws, policy and regulations that restrict tactics like stop and frisk or broken windows, they no longer fear the police and certainty of arrest, while in the past, they would not carry their weapons because of fear of arrest, they now do, and therefore the opportunity for armed confrontations with police significantly increases.
