Wouldn’t rolling these out save money on gasoline? Honestly asking.

Some good Peruvian as well!

The problem is that people sue the cops even when the cops did everything they were trained to do. And sometimes they win. So you can’t fire your employee for following orders.

For example, the lady that refused to wear a mask in the subway system, was asked to leave, refused, put her hands on cops and they arrested her in front of her child. She’s suing for TEN MILLION DOLLARS. And obviously there’s a lawyer out there that think she has a case and trying to get a million dollar payday for himself vs a city employed lawyer maybe making 100k win or lose.

Except your whole argument falls apart because crimes in the subway went down significantly after the mayor/governor flooded the subway system with cops.

The literally has nothing to do with it. Dominicans and African Americans are two distinct groups in nyc with different cultures and some have biases towards the other group.

You know a community is considered a group of people, not the geographic area, right?

So these are supposed to be safe injection sights right? What you’re telling me is that 700 times, a professional, pumped someone with enough drugs to kill them just to treat them and save their lives.

So 700 people have gone to the safe centers, overdosed, we’re given Narcan or life saving treatment and told “thank you, come back next time!” I don’t know, the whole situation seems fucked up. I don’t want these people dying out in the streets but there has to be some middle ground here.

Honest question: how can they claim to have prevented seven hundred overdoses when the nyc overdose numbers are at an all time high? Are they saying that they have had 700 people use their services therefor preventing their deaths?

If it’s just a picture, it is not illegal. If it’s specifically of a woman’s breasts or up skirts, then it is illegal.

If there’s no cars ahead of me and my light is green, I usually drive about halfway through the intersection with my left blinker on and either traffic will clear and you turn, or the moment the light turns red and traffic stops you can quickly make your turn before the thru traffic gets the green.

This is not NYPD. Also, this whole video is staged.

Remember, this is only guns found as a result of traffic enforcement. Not every gun they’ve found or specifically looked for for the year, which I think the number is close to 5,000.

Two a day solely off traffic stops is a lot no matter where you’re from. And I have no idea what point you’re trying to make with the Texas stuff.

You personally see cops driving in from both LI and NJ and then watch them park outside their own precincts? Wow, you get around.

The next line is even more ridiculous.

“In contrast, police made just 631 arrests for second-degree criminal possession of a loaded weapon, accounting for about 4% of arrests.”

JUST 631?? That’s like 2 guns a day for the whole year! That seems like a hell of a lot to me from just traffic stops.

What you’re essentially saying is the same thing. People shouldn’t be allowed to wear nice headphones in the street because criminals can’t control themselves.

So you’re in the same crowd that says women get raped because they dress provocatively then?

That’s exactly what victim blaming is. You’re saying it’s their fault for wanting to wear nice headphones and listen to music.

“I have a suspicion that he converted to Judaism purely for the jokes.”

“And this offends you as a Jewish person?”

“No, it offends me as a comedian!”

And that event was followed by a decade of litigation, people losing their jobs, and multi million dollar payouts from the city. Not saying this is justice to make up for that atrocity by any means. But do you think any of this is happening in actual police states?

We literally do not. We live in one of the most liberal cities in America. People leave police states to come live here. I’m not saying this situation in the article isn’t shady af, but calling nyc a police state is just as hyperbolic as the Post calling it a crime-ridden wasteland.

What does a “mild reform” look like to you? There’s been plenty of reforms. Body cameras, CCRB, public police databases, bans on chokeholds, diaphragm law, new discovery laws, ending stop and frisk.

Not saying the problem is solved but there’s tons of reforms.

Do we really want this? Think about it. You’re suing, looking for money for damages. Do you want to sue the city worth billions or the individual cop making 45,000 a year? How much money do you think you’re gonna get there?

There’s 36,000 cops in the city. Imagine losing your pension because some dickhead you don’t know in Staten Island did some horrible shit.
