Touching the head of a reporter to “pray” for them

➡️But really deflect from their questions

Is something Mayor Eric Adams ….shouldn’t do?

Speaking of NYPD's reluctance to provide basic info, like the reason they started chasing a driver that ran later into woman in a crosswalk killing her.

'The driver make an unspecified traffic violation, cop sources said, declining to go into detail.'

DCPI has a larger staff than any metro desk in New York City.

You would never know this because they almost always refuse to put their names on statements

BREAKING: In An incredible display of solidarity, faculty stages a sit in in front of the arrest vehicle. Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! is on the scene interviewing the a teacher surrounded by students.

💯NYPD misleadingly used NYPD inspector general review as reason they refused to answer qs at a BUDGET hearing.

NYPD's illegitimate & outsized power emboldens them to do things no other agency would dream of. It's part of dangerous, anti-democratic impunity NYPD wields.

Total BS. As 'arbiter of discipline' it's literally Commish Caban's JOB to assess if Chell or any cop's actions are appropriate & shld be disciplined.

Flagging DOI report is intentionally misleading- it's non-binding, can take years, no bearing on what NYPD shld/shldn't do now

This is real BS. A DOI report can take years, is non-binding, and has no bearing on what the NYPD should/shouldn't do now.

Gerber repeatedly interrupting Adrienne Adams's q of Commish was rude, unwarranted & purposefully misleading.

It's an incredibly troubling space to be in when you can play a compelling game of 'who said it' or ' who did it' between a Segregationist Southern Leader, a MAGA Republican Leader or a NYC Mayor

The NYPD barred Win Rozario's family from entering their apartment for 2 days, even to feed their cat, and chatted about their weekends while driving the family to the precinct. They'd just seen Win shot five times, Yoav Gonen and Reuven Blau report.
