You're being willfully obtuse. Do you think black people are the only ones with fake plates? Or the only ones the police stop and fine for it?

If you don’t want to be targeted by police be white. It’s very simple.

Do they stop everyone with fake plates? Or do they pick and choose?

It's the latter. We already know that. Police enforcement isn't even handed and is often racist. Crime rate demographics mostly signify who was stopped, not who commits the crimes.

I'm pretty sure that job posting was mostly a joke for press. Surely there are already a few people in the Department of Sanitation who have that job.

I never said he was Jewish culturally, ethnically or by religion. I was explaining to you why someone could have "Jewish" DNA. Pay attention.

>You're pro genocide imo.

...Excuse me? I am commenting on a comment chain of you being antisemitic, I have no idea what Elizabeth Warren comment you're talking about (this isn't the one), and you're here suggesting I am the one supporting genocide?

You seem really defensive and irrationally angry about this very niche Jewish issue. But, sure, I'm the one who needs to "calm down."

There's nothing Mayors love more than creating a Task force or Committee or creating a new mayoral agency that is attempted to do what other city agencies already do. This will be a department of 4-5 people with 6 figure jobs. They will accomplish nothing but slow down the process at the city agencies doing the work.

>It’s one of the most heterogeneous groups there is.

It's not. And if you think that you haven't met many Jewish people. You seem to be unaware that Ashkenazi Jews are not the only ethnic Jewish people that exist on the planet. Sephardic Jews were the first Jewish people to immigrate to New York City as a matter of fact. Mizrahi is also a distinctive group. They come from different regions of the globe and have different languages, often variations of Hebrew.

>Which also shows up in DNA tests for non-Jews/anyone living in those regions.

No, it doesn't.

Being Ashkenazi or Sephardic or Mizrahi Jewish is a genetically distinctive ethnicity. We'd call it an ethno-religion. These are very distinct groups of people who are able to trace their DNA so easily because they were forced to migrate and were systematically killed keeping the community relatively small. It's not just a cute little DNA marker that will show up on anyone from Europe. The ethnicity hasn't been absorbed in every region. Jewish people aren't homogeneous.

You're mad because people's genetics indicate that they have Ashkenazi or Sephardic Jewish heritage? Ever wonder why it's so easy to pinpoint that on DNA results? It's almost as if these were smaller insular ethnic groups who have been systematically banished from multiple countries and murdered because of their faith and background. Do a second of research before commenting, it would have answered your question.

>“To me, it’s a civic duty to responsibly come back to work and actively engage in being part of the community,” Rechler said.

What community? There is no valuable "community" in those Manhattan office park neighborhoods. It is not our *civic duty " to enrich private commerical landlords who refuse to innovate or adapt to massive societal change.

I swear to God these people need to get bent.

>What does being attached to other men

...you do realize it's not just men who are LGBTQ+ right? And if this is a parade about Irish heritage as you say, you realize there are gay Irish people?

I swear to God, turn off Fox News and read a book.

Right so there's a deep state conspiracy where zero delivery bike accidents are reported to the police, is that right? A secret epidemic you can only back up with vibes?

Of course they are reported. Every vehicular injury and death is reported because they end up in police reports. If delivery guys were killing people we'd have known by now. Be serious.

The delivery workers in congregate in my neighborhood are all unassuming and polite when they wait around for deliveries. Yes, I don't love when they sometimes drive up on the sidewalks, but I've been nearly hit far more often by cars than them. I really don't see why NIMBYs have an issue with this. Delivery workers aren't a group I'd consider "undesirable" in my neighborhood. They're just doing their jobs... incidentally for the people in that neighborhood.

Yup! Community Board members aren't elected. They're handpicked by local electeds and then voted on by people who are already on the board. They are in no way representative of an entire opinion of any neighborhood, in fact they are usually outliers in terms of homeownership, car ownership, age and other demographics.

Rikers is an internationally notorious deadly jail facility. I think it's fair to call what we have here a police state so long as we have Rikers.

I have to laugh that the DOC Captain mentioned in the articme who used that hashtag in her email has this in her Facebook bio:

>"I'm a child of GOD with BIG dreams. I LOVE Jesus and JESUS loves ME!!!'

Nothing says " I love Jesus" like being a xenophobic jailer.

They have always been a NYC local news outlet. Have you ever bothered to look at their site as scroll through their coverage?

The city that makes landlords pay for refusing to maintain the property they don't live in because they were shacked up in Jersey. Boo hoo.

Gothamist has reported on all three issues. So you're angry that you read this first? Or that they reported on it at all, in addition to the other things?

I have to hand it to the staff that actually followed through, followed the law and fined the Mayor. That had to be scary, especially when he showed up with the top mayor's office lawyer to scare them.

You're trying real hard to not understand the issue. What did chasing them on the sidewalk do except put more people in danger? They didn't catch them by driving up on the sidewalk which they're not supposed to do. I'm pretty sure high speed chases are prohibited here. They didn't catch him until he got out of the tunnel in Red Hook. So what they did was incredibly stupid, dangerous, and useless.

I mean, that's literally what he did. Chasing him on the sidewalks didn't stop him. It just put people in even more danger.
