SF MAYOR CLARIFIES STOP-AND-FRISK POLICY COMMENTS: SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee is clarifying his comments about a controversial stop-and-frisk policy used to reduce violent crime in other major cities, including New York and Philadelphia. Lee said in a statement Tuesday that he is not considering a policy that will violate anyone's constitutional rights and result in racial profiling, but he is "willing to move forward with bold ideas that get to results." Lee told a local newspaper editorial board last month that he wants to consider the stop-and-risk policy to reduce gun violence after a recent spike in homicides led to the city's deadliest month in nearly four years.
