New data shows that police have almost exclusively targeted black and Hispanic New Yorkers for social distancing arrests. De Blasio says the numbers reveal "a huge amount of restraint by the NYPD." gothamist.com/news/de-blasio…
The demographic data we have comes from figures obtained by @CBSNewYork and borough-wide totals released by the @BrooklynDA. Neither the Mayor's Office nor the NYPD have released the official numbers, despite promising to do so this week. gothamist.com/news/de-blasio…
UPDATE: The NYPD just released its first batch of demographic data, which shows Blacks and Hispanics received 304 of 374 summonses for social distancing violations. Brooklyn saw 206 summonses, compared to 41 in Manhattan, and none in Staten Island. Still no info on arrests
