SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco's mayor says the Colorado theater shootings have made him more committed to implementing a police stop and frisk policy aimed at getting weapons off the streets. Mayor Ed Lee's consideration of stop and frisk, where officers stop and search suspicious people for weapons, has triggered an outcry from those who liken it to racial profiling. The San Francisco Chronicle says Lee is committed to stop and frisk in light of Friday's Aurora shootings and his trip to Philadelphia, which has implemented a stop and frisk policy.
