A powerful broadside against Bill Bratton and why he's not a credible source when reporting on the criminal legal system: he sees LA's homelessness crisis as an “example of city & state failures to address quality of life & broken windows” (it's not); 1/ theappeal.org/media-frame-st…
Bratton went on Morning Joe to talk about "the disintegration of family, the disintegration of values” in the Black community—not police accountability—in the wake of protests against the police killings of Eric Garner and Mike Brown. 2/2 theappeal.org/media-frame-st…
After being appointed NYPD commish by Giuliani, Bratton said “We are going to flush [homeless people] off the street in the same successful manner in which we flushed them out of the subway system.” 3/3 theappeal.org/media-frame-st…
Bratton has "excelled at using the coercive arm of the state to push vulnerable people out of public view, thus paving the way for rampant gentrification at the expense of communities that have been failed by the state." 4/4 theappeal.org/media-frame-st…
