The NYPD is skulking through the L train demanding IDs from Black and Latino men, again with zero justified cause or explanation as to why.

If Zohran becomes mayor, can he potentially change anything about how the NYPD does things?
Considering a lot of the NYPD straight up said they’d resign if he became mayor, I think he’s got a pretty good chance of bringing change if he really wants to
They said the same thing in my city.
Then they stopped patrolling/enforcing anything.
And surprise surprise, violent crime actually went down.
How they go around harassing homeless people because they don’t have anything else to do.
They are lying to influence the election
Hey. If pigs are gonna throw their weight in behind a good cause, I say we take it! You can’t expect them to reform on their first day as socialists (/j I get what you’re saying)
Hey whats the word for that?
Police? LYING?!
No… Would people do that? Lie to further their agenda?
Oh no how unfortunate.
Wow, they are just giving him free advertising at this point.
Give it to NYPD for threatening us all with a good time.
That’s one way to dispose of all those bad apples
The potential is there, but usually winning one election is not enough to actually achieve structural change such as stopping racist police actions.
as far as i am aware, the mayor is the commander in chief of local police and also determines their budget
If I was mayor of NYC, I would eliminate the budget to all existing departments, then create new departments with a fresh budget. The initial budget is for importing officers and administrators from Europe, sourced from nations that put them through a rigorous training academy that emphasizes deescalation and following laws. No existing personnel from the ranks of America’s police would ever be hired.
Far as I am concerned, the police in America are a mafia, not keepers of peace. They have to be rooted out completely, if that is to change.
They own the law though, so no lawful process can oppose them meaningfully.
Im afraid they have takrn all the peaceful options, unless you consider ‘be crushed and die by the millions’ peaceful, off the fucking table.
