http://nymag.com/news/features/christine-quinn-2013-2/index5.html
Later in the evening, the host interrupted me to point out that the mayor himself had just arrived. Did I want to meet him? Sure. My friend and I followed the host over, shook Bloomberg’s hand, and my friend thanked him for his position on gun control. Without even acknowledging the comment, Bloomberg gestured toward a woman in a very tight floor-length gown standing nearby and said, “Look at the ass on her.”

I live in a tiny NYC apartment with no room for even a garbage can. I am a senior citizen, and can hardly make it to my garbage room, no less get out of bed with my tired joints.
Now you want me to recycle my scraps of food?
How dare you impose your idea on the sick, dying, and elderly.

Bloomberg is not actually trying to defend the constitutionality of his NYPD’s tactics, because it’s clear that he doesn’t actually care about constitutional policing. He’d have fired Ray Kelly after the RNC if he did. His point is to argue that it’s not racial profiling, because blacks really do commit more crimes, and that racial profiling is necessary, because blacks commit more crimes. See, “it’s not racial profiling” is the thing you say to make white liberals more comfortable with your actual pitch, which is, “we all know racial profiling works.”

I think I will always remember this quote as the quintessential Bloomberg phrasing:
“But look, graffiti does ruin people’s property and it’s a sign of decay and loss of control. Art is art and nobody’s a bigger supporter of the arts than I am. I just think there are some places for art and there are some places [not for] art. And you running up to somebody’s property or public property and defacing it is not my definition of art. Or it may be art, but it should not be permitted. And I think that’s exactly what the law says.

Too arbitrary.
Suppose a convenience store started a promotion: "Buy a 31 oz. soda and get a free 1 oz. soda with it!" If they put them into two cups, would that violate the ban? Anything that could be so publically ridiculed and circumvented is not ever going to make a good law. It was either empty posturing, or a total failure to foresee its unenforceability.
