Speaking at a Black megachurch on Sunday, former New York mayor and potential 2020 candidate Michael Bloomberg said he was wrong for supporting the stop-and-frisk policing strategy that disproportionately affected Black and Latino citizens.

I was wrong and I am sorry, he told attendees in Brooklyn, according to the New York Daily News .

The fact is, far too many people were being stopped while we tried to [reduce crime] and the overwhelming majority of them were Black and Latino, he said. That may have included, Im sorry to say, some of you here today.

He went on to say that the erosion of trust that resulted from the policy has bothered him deeply.

It still bothers me, and I want to earn it back, he said.
