After the March 22nd terrorist attacks in Belgium, Republican U.S. Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz said law enforcement should be empowered to “patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.” In defending the plan, Cruz cited former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg for his aggressive policing efforts, including the alleged targeting of Muslim neighborhoods for surveillance. Current New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and NYPD commissioner Bill Bratton held a press conference where they criticized Cruz’s proposal as “incendiary” and “foolish.”
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:

Excepting the sheriff's department, law enforcement should be abolished and replaced by civil militias. Muslims should be encouraged not to cluster into neighborhoods, but spread out and mix in.
@8YJYQWM3yrs3Y
No, and we should abolish the police
@8RBQDDP4yrs4Y
Yes, but increase surveillance in every neighborhood regardless of who lives there
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
It should apply only to Muslims who are not liberal*, secular and monogamist
* Liberal Muslims as in Muslims who are more open minded about their sons & daughters marrying non-Muslims (e.g. Christians) or even converting to Christianity upon their marriage to their non-Muslim spouse
Example: the first lady of Argentina who converted to Roman Catholicism from Islam, where she stated in an interview with La Nación newspaper in 2012, that her father is a liberal Muslim who did not object to one of Juliana's sisters marrying a Christian and the other a Jew), secular, pro-gender equality, pro-democracy, pro-Israel, pro-west/westernized and religiously tolerant.
@92TZ94X3yrs3Y
If they have a troubling past then yes but if they havent done anything wrong then no they shouldnt
@8LFT4YT4yrs4Y
no, unless they are suspected to being terrorists
@92YHQCV3yrs3Y
No, this decision should be based on crime rates instead of race or religion, because targeting Muslims is unconstitutional, racist, and incendiary, but the police should increase surveillance and patrol of all high crime neighborhoods
@IINXMP4yrs4Y
No, and we should work to establish neighborhood watch programs nationwide in order to allow the people to defend eachother, instead of causing more damage in communities than necessary.
@75KRFBJ4yrs4Y
No, this decision should be based on statistics of crime rate, and targeting a specific neighborhood due to race, culture, or religion is unconstitutional, racist, incendiary, and disgusting
@7CR5F3L3yrs3Y
No, the issue is education and poverty not race.
@akevinchen4yrs4Y
No, but police should increase surveillance and patrol of all high crime neighborhoods. This decision should be based on crime rates instead of race or religion
@8QYZ4SB4yrs4Y
Yes, and it should be illegal to practise the religion of Islam.
@8TWB9FX4yrs4Y
No, targeting Muslims is unconstitutional, racist, and incendiary. This decision should be based on crime rates instead of race or religion. Police should increase surveillance and patrol of all high crime neighborhoods
@8V2D87P4yrs4Y
Just increase surveillance in general if terrorism is coming from a certain area enclose on it.
@fruityradical3yrs3Y
End police surveillance and demilitarize patrols
