I honestly don't know much about housing vouchers at all, but doing some google-fu for the last 15 minutes it seems like the problem is not so much discrimination against the PEOPLE that want to pay with vouchers, but the landlords are fearful of the IMPLICATIONS of dealing with voucher-holders.

In other words, landlords do not want A) to wait for the government to send an inspector which can take god-knows-how-long before the person can actually move in and rent, B) wait for the government to pay the landlords which, as with any aspect of dealing with government agencies, can take a dawn's age resulting in late payments or insufficient payments from the housing authority, C) endure yearly government inspections which, while designed to ensure that voucher holders do not live in substandard housing, are completely subjective and leases can be terminated because of a hairline crack in a light switch faceplate, &c.

In other words: it seems like landlords' problems aren't with voucher-holders, themselves, but the voucher system itself because it's administered by a government agency. In this case, the NYCHA which, everyone knows, is an absolute steaming pile of dog shit. It's an agency that would rather spend billions defending lawsuits than just making repairs in the first place.

interesting how the measure is "re-arrest." This doesn't speak, at all, to re-offending.

Honestly, this is why the force needs to allow and TRAIN all officers on the Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint (LVNR) to safely render suspects unconscious without damaging the airway or any other part of their body.

Watching the initial struggle, I couldn't help thinking: "Sweep the leg!"

How the turn tables.

I was just going to write this. I know that a criminal justice degree isn't a law degree, but lol. . . he knows better. Even if you disagree with an arrest, you don't fight it on the street, you fight it in court.

They have the luxury of quitting. The average person does not have the luxury of quitting walking on sidewalks or using the subway. SOMETHING has to be done. That being said, I feel for the docs/nurses/social workers. ERs are not designed to deal with psychotic patients.

There has to be a happy medium between the asylums of the 1950s and the situation we have now.

You mean the contractors that the city pays aren't the very best of the best? I am SHOCKED! /s

I just think back to 2016 and the reported odds between Hillary and Donald. . . this is looking awfully familiar.

they have some natural proclivity like sloths hanging from trees or some shit.
