How to use frisk in a sentence?

1. Scott Prendergast:

   The increase in knives is more connected to ending stop and frisk. . . so the criminals know they can carry knives like they did back in the 1980s.

2. Keechant Sewell:

   We've learned that stop and frisk is not the answer, that violence reduction can happen independent of that, and we saw that in New York over many years, so as far as... data providing credence that we should have more of those policies, I don't think there's any evidence of that.

3. Keechant Sewell:

   To be clear, this is not a return to' Stop, Question, and Frisk' -- nor is it' policing for numbers,' this enforcement will be responsive to community complaints and concerns.

4. Mayor Bloomberg:

   The way you should get the guns out of the kids hands is to throw them up against the wall and frisk them, the way he feels about people is so demeaning. The policy may have been stop and frisk, but the philosophy was to castigate and denigrate people of color, and its a disgrace.

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.
