A new report shows that Black or Brown folks made up 97% of the stop & frisks made by NYPD's "anti-crime" units (which Eric Adams rebranded as "neighborhood safety teams") between April & October 2022.
"The [NYPD's] anti-crime units are still stopping, frisking and searching too many people unlawfully — almost all of them people of color — despite assurances from Mayor Eric Adams that new policies and training would end the practice"
"The monitor, Mylan L. Denerstein, filed a report in federal court in Manhattan on Monday detailing what she described as unlawful policing."
An army of NYPD cops barricaded entire blocks of Manhattan earlier today to help escort anti-choice theocrats to a nearby Planned Parenthood to harass patients. Pro-choice protesters used umbrellas, banners, & music to block the sound & sight of the theocrats outside the clinic.
NYPD was outside of NYC's Basilica of St Patrick's Old Cathedral earlier today to help escort anti-choice theocrats to a nearby Planned Parenthood. Cops & barricades were lined up for the whole way to the clinic so theocrats could get there unimpeded by pro-choice protesters.
NYPD had cops & barricades lined up for blocks in Manhattan earlier today to help escort anti-choice theocrats to a nearby Planned Parenthood to harass patients. NYPD didn't want any pro-choice protesters even getting near the theocrats on the way to the clinic.
Former NYPD cop/current DOC leader Louis Molina has continued the atrocities at the racist death camp Rikers Island & even tried to cover up recent atrocities at Rikers!
He should NOT be allowed anywhere near the National Puerto Rican Day Parade!
There have been multiple cases of people dying or being beaten or being tortured at Rikers over just the last few weeks. Louis Molina tried to get the federal monitor to not even mention these atrocities in a recent report.
Eric Adams isn't "tacking away from the city's left." He's literally a former Republican & a former NYPD cop!
And his views on rent, religion, & policing (stop using the euphemism "public safety") are neither "moderate" nor merely "conservative." They're very firmly right wing.
Cowatcher Jose LaSalle of @CopwatchCPU has released some audio he captured after NYPD arrested him at a #JordanNeely protest.
You can hear cops laughing about brutalizing protesters, calling protesters "trannies", & making some startling admissions. instagram.com/reel/CsFR_qWLs…
Jose LaSalle of @CopwatchCPU has released audio he captured after NYPD arrested him at a #JordanNeely protest.
In the 1st 2 min, the cops laugh about brutality, make sure their body cams are turned off, & say they worried about pushing each other into the train tracks.
Note: when the cops refer to "bodies" & "collars", they're referring to arrested protesters.
"A protester who is one of five wanted by the NYPD says the capitalist system failed #JordanNeely.
'They’re bringing up charges against me for protesting,' the protester, who did not want to be named, told PIX11"
"“We have a First Amendment right; this is literally so outrageous,” the protester said. “They are bringing up charges against me for protesting but a murderer is walking free on the streets … This is so outrageous; Black lives and homeless lives matter.”"
Check out PIX11's weaselly copaganda here.
NYPD's claim about a molotov has received lots of skepticism so PIX11 says "NYPD found items needed to make a molotov cocktail" instead of saying "NYPD found a molotov."
And they then use this to paint *protests* as violent.
