Now THAT was a fast turnaround. Here they are one more time…

2015:

Fall in use of stop & search since 2010 is welcome. As Mayor, I'd do everything in my power to bring it down further. http://t.co/FKiL5nZMRd

Yesterday:

I‘m angered and heartbroken by the recent violent deaths on our streets. @metpoliceuk patrols have already been increased and extra stop-and-search powers are in place. If you have any information about these horrific crimes – please contact the police. pic.twitter.com/Zc0fvyV7J7

The mayor might have gotten whiplash from doing that fast of an about-face on the issue.
