Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Friday he believes the New York Police Department stops white people too much and non-whites too little based on murder suspect descriptions, sparking outrage one day after the City Council overwhelmingly approved bills that are aimed at cracking down on the controversial stop-and-frisk tactic.

"One newspaper and one news service, they just keep saying, 'Oh, it's a disproportionate percentage of a particular ethnic group.' That may be. But it's not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe as committing the murders," said Mr. Bloomberg, speaking on his weekly radio show about the large percentage of blacks and Latinos who are stopped by police in the five boroughs each year.

"In that case, incidentally, I think, we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little," the mayor said. "It's exactly the reverse of what they're saying. I don't know where they went to school, but they certainly didn't take a math course, or a logic course."

Mr. Bloomberg said flatly on Friday: "Nobody racially profiles."

In response to the mayor, Council Member Jumaane Williams, a Brooklyn Democrat and the bills' lead sponsor, said, "I think he's taken a course in how to misuse numbers most effectively."
