Why Kal Penn Is Defending Bloomberg's Stop and Frisk Policy
The actor says the policy works (also, he was mugged once).
Actor Kal Penn, famous for playing the oft-stoned co-protagonist of the Harold & Kumar movies, surprised his Twitter followers Tuesday afternoon by coming out in support in of New York's stop-and-frisk policy. "Great op/ed by @MikeBloomberg on the merits of 'stop-question-frisk,'" Penn tweeted, linking to a New York Post column by the mayor titled, "Frisks save lives."
Roughly a minute later one of Penn's followers asked him if he was being sarcastic.
