It's the balance between security and freedom. Usually the choice between how much freedom one gives up for the sake of security involves balancing one's own freedom versus one's own security. The problem with stop and frisk in the way it's implemented is it's easy for a prominent white guy like Trump who will never get stopped and frisked to enhance his own security while compromising the freedoms of those "others."
