Inbox: Adrienne Adams is requesting an NYPD Office of the Inspector General investigation into the NYPD's social media practices and policies.

This comes amid rising criticism of NYPD top brass' increasingly freewheeling approach to going after critics on Twitter.

We’re proud to have organized a joint letter to Mayor Eric Adams to condemn Chief Chell’s inappropriate treatment of elected officials and journalists, most recently Tiffany Cabán.

Thank you to the elected officials across New York who joined us.

Our letter:

Led by Brad Lander, the group of 39 electeds includes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Jamaal Bowman Ed.D. & dozens of Council members & state legislators.

Their letter doesn't specify what discipline they want Chell to face, but Tiffany Cabán suggested: 'He should be fired today.' nydailynews.com/2024/05/03/nyc…

Join Jews for Ceasefire for an Emergency Solidarity Shabbat to directly uplift the demands of the students of NYC and around the world: Divestment now. Free Palestine now. Power to the Students. Eyes on Gaza. Wear white. No signs. Washington Square Park, Friday May 3rd 5pm

don’t really see anyone talking about this but: arrestees at CUNY were charged with *felonies* while arrestees at Columbia were charged with misdemeanors. nobody should be charged with anything but it is a travesty that poorer & racialized students bear the brunt of this struggle

I stand with Tiffany Cabán and denounce this reprehensible and dangerous behavior by NYPD Chief of Patrol. Tiffany has been a courageous leader has consistently showed up for our city and her constituents. This behavior is shameful and unacceptable!

The deleted tweet is a reminder that Chell is used to just sweeping away his misdeeds, like when he fatally shot a man in the back, lied about it in court per the jury’s findings, and not only kept his job but got promoted. Enough. Time for consequences for his gross misconduct.

And rather than honoring their courageous stand, the way we would if they were Russian or Iranian students, our power elite deploys military force to crush their dissent, the way they would if they were the Russian or Iranian regime.

I have trespassed in peaceful protest.
I have shutdown govt offices in civil disobedience.
I have made the powerful uncomfortable in their routines as I’ve dissented in peaceful but committed disorder.
Those are the American traditions of Thomas Paine, David Thoreau, Rosa Parks

.Tiffany Cabán fights tooth-and-nail everyday for a safer and more just New York.

The Chief's now deleted post was completely reckless and unprofessional.

.NYPD Chief of Patrol has deleted this tweet where he wrote that Tiffany Cabán 'hates our city' before urging his followers to start 'getting involved' if they 'want change.'

This comes after Chell drew electioneering concerns over a similar post in April: nydailynews.com/2024/04/02/ada…

This post is unacceptable on so many levels: inappropriate, unethical, dangerous. Regardless of where you personally stand, an official government account should not be used in this way. This post incites violence against a government official. Mayor Eric Adams must have this removed.

If you've ever wondered what a Giuliani NYPD would look like with social media, wonder no more...

Here’s but one example of why NYPD NEWS pays millions in settlements

When you believe laws don’t apply to you, when you create conditions of violence, and when Mayor Eric Adams emboldens you to do as you wish, top brass gets to break conflicts of interest law and bully

The people of NYC already had to shell out $2.5 million when you ‘accidentally’ killed a man by shooting him. We have no patience for your recklessness. Take down this dangerous tweet, be professional, and remember who we pay you to protect and serve.
thecity.nyc/2021/04/15/nyp…

Wildly inappropriate, unethical, and dangerous statement by Chief Chell.

The Mayor and Police Commissioner should have this account deleted.

How is an official government account allowed to speak to another government official in this way? Regardless of how you feel and where you stand ideologically this is dangerous and a gross use of an official
Government account !

.Tiffany Cabán has always focused on solutions rooted in peace and justice and the chief’s focus always seems to be the opposite…

These comments incite violence, and the public deserves more coming from those charged to protect.

PLEASE SHARE: We are concerned that several CCNY students who have been arrested, predominantly students of color, have spent their 2nd night in jail and have yet to be arraigned. NY law requires arraignment within 24 hrs of arrest.

We demand their prompt processing and release.

Happy May Day to the workers of the world! Today is about joy, solidarity, and rebellion, and has been since a Black anarchist named Lucy Parsons led the country’s first May Day march in 1886. The cops called her “more dangerous than a thousand rioters.”

Be dangerous, beloveds.
