Remarkable. After years of @CBSNewYork parroting police lies about bail reform, they report, in detail, on how the NYPD Chief lied to them & the public. “Tough questions about cop’s penchant for blaming bail reform.” Will they stop sourcing cops now? newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/10/14/bai…
“Tongues started wagging after Shea seemed to backtrack on his repeated insistence that state bail reform laws are a major reason why cops can’t stop gun violence.”
NYPD: “When you look at who we arrest for crimes, it’s going to be small numbers.”
He admitted he’s been lying.

CBS actually reports facts! “A report from the city’s Office of Criminal Justice throws cold water on Shea’s bail reform argument. It shows that 9.7% of defendants were released w/o bail for gun crimes, before bail reform was passed. It fell to 3.5% after bail reform enacted.”
This is amazing. NYPD Chief always *uses* NY Post to spew lies.
Question: “You blamed bail reform for a rise in shootings. But NY Post analysis of NYPD’s own data found claim to be false.”
Chief: “Madam, I don’t generally hold, you know, debates over what appears in the paper.”

“Selective amnesia.”
NYPD Chief last week: “We’re looking for an individual that has 11 open cases right now & then he goes out & brutally attacks a woman on the street,”
Fact: Man was actually caged on Rikers.
Chief yesterday: “I do not know the case you’re referring to.”

What’s amazing is that media outlets & lawmakers continue to listen to the NYPD Commissioner after years of “falsehoods, fearmongering, dog whistling & other unscrupulous tactics” to undermine bail reforms. Dermot Shea should be terminated. newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/10/14/bai…
