They play the game too and they love those union votes. In reality these protests probably mark the first time police reform is going to serious hit the democratic agenda. It's going to become another one of those zero sum issues with Republicans.
Aren't there police private chat records where they joke and talk about killing DeBlasio and his family?
Fucking grow a spine!

This makes me so goddamn angry that these boomer dicks just have their blinders on to social media and its influence. Everyone in America now has their own camera and has been documenting this shit non-stop but because it's not in print or on the News at 10™ they don't give a fuck.
Don't think we're at that point yet, unfortunately. Right now lot of focus is on nationwide police reform, and New Yorkers love to think of themselves as special. Addressing the NYPD may require a completely separate endeavor in its own right.
Marijuana is still illegal in NYS and cops use this to harass POC.
Honestly, the super forces (LAPD, NYPD, Chicago PD, etc) would need that "special approach" due to their largesse and their historical presence in policing/the strengths of their unions. But you're right...NYPD would need some talking to beyond even that.

Yep. He was like, we don't need to shelter in place just a week or two before it all went to hell over there.
Guy is paid for by the NYPD.
What happened here?
Seems like we're all just being played by the police departments.
Exactly. Weed is legal in so many places in the US, but not in NY/NYC. It's absolutely insane.
Simple fucking amazing. He must really fear the NYPD. They must have some dirt on him they threaten him with.de Blasio saw them. He blamed the protesters for being in front of the cars running them over

I thought it was decriminalized? I'm not saying POC aren't getting harassed because of it but I thought it was at least decriminalized.
Because the NYS/C Democratic machines require bloated patronage bureaucracies as a part of their power structure. Cannot justify 40,000 (NYPD, PAPD, MTA PD) extremely overpaid civil servants ($400k PAPD) without a significant amount of "crimes" to enforce.
