As of 30 minutes ago at the time of posting, the NYPD has detained two young Black men after they refused their demands to show ID without explanation or cause. (files.catbox.moe)

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.

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

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)

They said the same thing in my city.

Then they stopped patrolling/enforcing anything.

And surprise surprise, violent crime actually went down.

Now they go around harassing homeless people because they don't have anything else to do.
