Reply to comment by Grass8989 in New York Pays $121 Million for Police Misconduct, the Most in 5 Years by hau5keeping

I mean it literally happened in the past, its in the link. You also had pretty widespread police violence during the floyd protests (and no, not during the riots, kettling gassing and beating peaceful protesters). You've had repeated work stoppages, you've had police trying to foment a mob against shake shack employees. Hell they called in a huge fucking operation against someone for yelling at them.

Concern over a thing that happened in the past whle the NYPD continues to engage in bullshit is perfectly acceptable.

I was responding to “the cops will literally riot before considering any minor reform.” Which is completely false.

Kettling peaceful protestors, gassing and beating them is close enough for me honestly.
