“The one exception was for bail-eligible people who were released following recent violent felony arrests. The rate of rearrests for that cohort of offenders increased slightly.”

I mean they always talk about bail reform and violent crimes, and it looks like this article proved them correct.

“Chi himself grew up in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Park Slope and Crown Heights and went to local schools before attending the private Quaker school Friends Seminary in Manhattan starting in sixth grade, where he was on a scholarship”

“Ossé’s Brooklyn bona fides are undeniable. His grandfather was Teddy Vann, a music producer who grew up in Brooklyn’s Bensonhurst neighborhood, won a Grammy working with his longtime protege Luther Vandross, and collaborated with artists like Sam Cooke and Bob Dylan. His father Reginald Ossé, who passed away in 2017 from colon cancer, was a legendary hip-hop podcaster, journalist and attorney known as Combat Jack.”

A product of private school and privilege.

“Mr. Ossé is the son of a prominent hip-hop lawyer and podcaster, Reggie Ossé, better known as Combat Jack, who died in 2017. Mr. Ossé acknowledges his privileges.”

He’s been able to live in his parents townhome rent free before getting a job with an $150k salary at 24, and even with that salary is still complaining about mundane things like not being able to find an apartment with a washer and dryer. That’s privilege.

The lines are definitely becoming blurred. Go on tiktok and you’ll see half of an interaction and it’ll get millions of views with strong opinions with no context. I’m pretty sure that’s what the people filming here were hoping for. A “viral” moment, hence the antagonizing and encouraging going on.

Based on the reactions of the “peanut gallery” I’m sure that’s exactly what happened! None of his friends or the bystanders could let them use their phone. He had to ask the cops to use their phone. Even so, I didn’t know you’re allowed to physically assault someone for hurting your feelings.
