The NYPD wrote 467 summonses for jaywalking last year. 92% went to Black or Latinx people. Just blatant racism. If you ask the NYPD to enforce a law, they will do so in a racist fashion, without fail. nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/05/22/on-…

I don’t understand people expressing surprise and confusion at this.
This is *exactly* how these laws are supposed to work. People worked really hard to make sure this happened.

This is an incredibly succinct and chilling review by Nick Pinto of how the NYPD has gotten to a place where its policing of protests is somehow beyond jurisdiction, stuck in an ether where anything goes, and increasing violence is, once again, the norm.

Priorities.

Apparently, college students in a drum circle with a bunch of tents on campus are a bigger threat to public safety than companies that manufacture ways for drivers to evade the law.

Yup. Which is why there should be pressure to cut their budgets, discipline and fire officers, demand more. Lawsuit payouts continue to grow each year and these cops are being *promoted*

It's gotta be a multi pronged approach

To be a host is to be gracious and considerate of your guests and those you invite to be guests, assuming you invite people you want to spend time with.

To do otherwise, is show a lack of consideration, basic etiquette, and narcissism.

Public defenders protect the constitutional rights of our clients and by extension - all of us. That includes the First Amendment

Forever gonna think about what it means to be 'staunchly' democratic or report at a liberal News outlet.

NYPD keeps having officers that, essentially, fail upwards - indicative of a culture of impunity that does not take accountability seriously.

Throughout my years as a public defender, it is not uncommon for disparate charging decisions to reflect the socioeconomic divide as well.

New lawsuit involving NYPD and Eric Adams just dropped! Eric Adams had NYPD acting as security outside his Bedstuy home in 2022 and one of those officers shot a man entering his own apartment.
