Oh is that how it works? FYI I’ve been here over 20 years and I don’t feel guilty at all for being in a stabilized apartment. Again I work for a living, always have, literally no one is subsidizing my life. But yes let’s just kick out a slew of working families because you think that’s fair for some reason. Or maybe we should tax the rich more and not shit all over middle and working class families.

Because thousands of families including mine rely on it to be able to afford to live here maybe? And yes I work and yes I make a pretty good income. I’ve had my place for many years and it has enabled me to live here, work here, pay taxes here and raise my kid here so far.

But yes let’s just get rid of the already paltry rent protections a minority of New Yorkers have which will go a long way to helping the severe affordable housing crunch here. Excellent idea.

Uh a sharp decrease in regulated units when the city needs more, not less, of them is not a good thing, no actually. Exploiting loopholes to remove apartments from regulation is not a good thing. The loophole should not exist or someone should be enforcing this better so that it’s not exploited merely to remove apartments from regulation.

Haha, it’s the good old “my anecdotal experience is definitely more relevant and true than literally multiple investigations finding widespread abuse of power during the BLM protests of 2020.” You don’t want actual sources. You just want to pretend you’re right.

The HRW source was one source only. How about the gigantic payout/settlement? Pretty sure they wouldn’t settle a case they were confident about winning. I also posted a link to dozens of videos of cops bearing people up, sometimes the person being assaulted is merely standing there doing nothing before.

Police brutality apologists aren’t my thing.

This is only one incident and involved hundreds of protestors lol. But yeah tell me again how this isn’t a systemic police problem.

Does hundreds of victims of violence that the nypd is about to settle with mean anything to you? Is that not widespread enough to signal systemic problems with the force?

It was very widespread. No one said it was the “entire force”, do you know how large the force is? You seem mighty quick to absolve “the police.” It was absolutely widespread this has been widely reported as well as investigated. But yeah totally just a few bad apples. Let me know if you need any more receipts of this well documented failure at pretty much all levels to the police response here. There were multiple investigations that found widespread police abuse and look at that, only this week the nypd is about to pay a record settlement over their actions.

• An independent New York City police review board has recommended that the department punish dozens of officers for excessive use of force and other alleged misconduct during protests that followed the 2020 murder of George Floyd, according to a report released on Monday.

“Among the complaints, officers were found to have used batons and pepper spray on peaceful protesters in 140 instances. Dozens of allegations of abuse of authority, including officers refusing to identify themselves, concealing their badges and making false or misleading statements, were also substantiated, the report by Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) said.”

Lol there are tons of videos. I posted the link somewhere else in this thread. But if you want to doubt vídeo evidence feel free. Because cops are so good at accountability right? They didn’t get thrown under the bus give me a break. Police brutality helps no one including the police force.

Cool well there is more than enough video and other evidence to prove many cops literally assaulted protestors when there was no cause so your experience doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

Haha, this story is amazing.

Haha I enjoyed that one also. I will always use it now.

The nytimes has excellent reporting on all the police violence during the protests and they have the receipts. Tons of videos of cops literally assaulting protestors who aren’t a breaking any laws, some are literally doing nothing just standing there. It was horrendous.

Lol what a freak. From the trump playbook.

Why doesn’t he have a neck? He looks like a wax figure.

And if you support tougher penalties perhaps you can spend your own money on new cops and increased incarceration. Go start a go fund me. If I have to why don’t you?

And this is only one time he did it! He did the same thing in Brazil! Actually stole a checkbook that didn’t belong to him and used it to go shopping.

But aoc was a bartender, so.

Hahaha. You people are just…wow. this guy is a complete fraud and a criminal. But okay, aoc was a bartender so “both sides.”

You do realize there can be conservative people in a blue state and that doesn’t make it purple, right?

Ny is not a purple state. It is a reliably blue state. Blue states can have red areas and republicans in them. That doesn’t make them purple.

Yep. Such sympathy and tolerance for…(checks notes)…homeless children. And again this policy as far as the article states doesn’t only apply to migrants but any child who transfers into nyc public schools and lives in transitional housing. People who ya know, may need some more time getting their paperwork and appointments in order.

You seem smart. 🙄

I don’t hate anyone. Any student in transitional housing has a month to comply with vaccine mandates. Not only migrants. And fyi the covid vaccine was never mandated in public schools for students.

I imagine they accommodate anyone in temporary housing and give them extra time to comply because those students by nature have unstable lives.

If you read what it said you’d see student transferees living in temporary housing have 30 days to comply and that includes students from other states, not just foreign or migrant children.
