Welcome to NYC! Even as our Detectives investigate crimes they’re attacked by emboldened criminals, who have quickly realized there are no consequences for law breakers in our city. The DEA is calling for this violence to be fully prosecuted as we look to file civil charges.

Every time someone says “you’re not gonna be shouting defund the police when you need them someday!” I think about the time my house was broken into and the cops made me search my OWN basement for the guy. “He could get off two shots before I even draw my gun” said the pig.

@TVietor08 @scottgairdner This is the same type of argument as conservatives who say we shouldn’t use a mass shooting as a moment to discuss gun reform. Pandemic or not, progressives should be rooting against exploitation of labor, and ultra rich people insulating themselves from bad decision making.
