At least not all crime.  It was actually having more officers in the high crime areas...not them randomly stopping people.

It did affect people's trust in the police though.

I don't know if any of those statistics include people arrested for filming the police legally and then having the charges dropped.

The info you posted said the reduction was a result of more LE bodies on the street.  However, it takes bodies on the street to implement stop and frisk.  Seems more like a chicken/egg debate than anything.  What I can deduct from any of that is that if stop and frisk causes more police to be on the street, thus resulting in a reduction in crime, than stop and frisk must be a fantastic policy.
