If you were strangled on the subway how long would it be until they arrest your killer? Or would they arrest him at all? give him a medal?

Maybe you have no criminal record, maybe you have been paying rent. Maybe you are a pillar of your community and help at the local community garden. But maybe you aren’t white, aren’t Christian, or have “radical antifa” ties online. Maybe you live in a “bad” neighborhood (or like me in a good neighborhood that outsiders assume to be bad)

@futurebird I find it more damning that he was a marine. Its like a boxer hitting and killing someone. His hands are weapons. So is a marine.

So he should be held to even higher standards in this because he should have known what the hold could do moreso than some john doe on the street.

@csnetprogrammer @mybarkingdogs @futurebird #NYC person in agreement here. He should be behind bars. Mayor Adams’ lack of empathy and lack of response is a classist disgrace.

@goodthinking @csnetprogrammer @futurebird I don't even know why Adams doesn't just switch parties. He reminds me a lot of Jailiani and in all the bad ways.

@mybarkingdogs @csnetprogrammer @futurebird Yup. “Cop” should be in the DSM-5.

@goodthinking @csnetprogrammer @futurebird PFFT absolutely agreed, especially seeing as the social functioning destruction, the warped mindset, etc are all far more harmful to others and themselves than anything most of us with diagnosed and severe issues have.

Whether it's the mindset that makes people want to be cops, or the traumatization and far-right hate radicalization that being a cop is... yeah
