Here’s the thing about this frequent ex post rationale regarding cop behavior: No one involved in this shooting knew this guy was a repeat offender, and that still doesn’t justify cops’ shooting the guy, let alone innocent bystanders on the subway.

Biting a police officer while you get arrested for protesting a 32-bed homeless shelter sort of feels like something that should get you expelled from City Council.

@IChotiner He should definitely be something’d for what he’s done off the field but “celebrated” isn’t the word I’d use.

Meanwhile, the blue checkmark replies to both The Times and Post coverage of this killing are some of the most morally repugnant posts I've read on Twitter in a while. This site can't die soon enough.

Even The Post couldn't spin this as anything more than a guy who was "screaming in an aggressive manner" - which is utter garbage on its own and not in any sense worth a death sentence.

If you actually want to live in the suburbs, move there. Otherwise, we have a massive housing crisis going on in NYC, and this guy is just yet another villain in that story.

Paul Graziano says he’s out to save the boroughs’ suburban-style neighborhoods and has a track record of locking out development. Now he’s determined to cut the mayor’s ‘City of Yes’ plan down to size.

Counterpoint: Chris Christie was extremely damaging for New Jersey, particularly its education system, set back trans-Hudson transportation by at least a decade, if not two, and is only praised by people too dumb to look at actual policy outcomes.

Christie really is a tragedy. He had so much promise and he squandered it all through hubris and cowardice.

Just thinking about how yesterday's headline was the $740 million in projected NYPD overtime spending this year and today's is about how $42 million in cuts to libraries means they'll be closed on the weekends. What a stupid mayor. What a stupid decision.

Can’t have libraries on Sunday, but we have $400 million to make sure the cops continue to face no consequences for anything.

Good question for Mayor Eric Adams yesterday about why the city is using contractors at a cost of $16 million to create his MyCity portal instead of doing it in house. He says it's hard to hire tech workers because they want to work remotely and now there's a hiring freeze.

Please find one (1) Jewish person in your life and talk to them about their family history if you'd like to better understand why the fascists are compiling lists of people they've targeted.

Just months after beginning his attempt to remove transgender youth from their families, Texas AG Ken Paxton attempted to compile a list of every transgender person in the state who had changed the gender marker on their driver's license. No one knows why.

If you think "Cars vs Bikes in nyc is a working class vs hipster fight" and the cars are the working class, you are an idiot.
