Stop and frisk has reduced crime in more than NY. The problem is the crimes are committed in areas of poverty which are also areas of ethnic minorities, so the PC crowd hate it. I wouldn't want to live in an area where people are free to carry guns.
Yes bringing jobs back to the poor will reduce crime. Start by taxing imports from companies who are removing jobs from those areas.
The only chaos it will create is among those who are likely to be found to be carrying guns. Stirred up by the PC crowd. The people who live in areas of high crime are black and Hispanic. They need their community to be safer by making it harder to carry a weapon. I've been stopped and frisked many times because I once fitted the wrong profile. But I see you assume it will be black people rioting.

If you don't think putting stop and frisk in place nationwide would not start riots especially in black and Hispanic heavy areas, you are fooling yourself. There is such tension between the police and black communities in some parts of this country that stop and frisk would simply ignite the already volatile situation that exists. It's a powder-keg waiting for a spark.
If I were walking down the street minding my own business and just out for a stroll and the police stopped and frisked me for no reason other than they felt like it, I would be pissed. If a crime had recently been committed in the area and I fit the description of the person who committed the crime, I can understand that and would have no problem with it, but to just stop me because they want to and have no other reason would piss me off.
Mark my word, black communities will not sit idly by and do nothing if stop and frisk is implemented nationwide.
