Maybe they’d have a better time recruiting people if they didn’t have a history of shooting unarmed minorities and resisting all forms of accountablility, but that’s none of my business 🤷‍♂️

I dont know which country you are from, but in USA there is main legal base called Constitution. It says something about "Freedom of speech". (Yeah its joke, I know). Then there is also clause about not discriminating (sex, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation) but thats also joke.

The funnyness of it all is underlined by Usa just in past decades openly invading several other countries, that are in such a heavenly shape after USA delivered democracy and freedom.

If anyone can explain a difference between usa delivered freedom and Putin delivered freedom, cause as far I can say that Putin invaded only one country in decades, while Bush invaded several in several years. Is anyone fired for having pictures taken with him at his preinvasion times anywhere in the world???

Lived here my whole life, was in the neighborhood when pat Lynch and his retard kids kept flashing guns all over the place. Saw all the dumbfuck racists from my class sign up for the NYPD and make the same kind of posts you do. You wanna talk stupid, look at the NYPD and their force of undereducated thugs.

I’m sure minorities are cramming for cops like pat Lynch to police their neighborhoods.

The NYC police budget may seem like a lot, but compared to other cities, that's a small police budget relative to the overall city's budget.

NYC is under 10%.

LA is over 20%.

San Diego and Chicago are over 30%.

Reply to Why Can’t Legal Cannabis Sellers Open Shops? Sometimes NY State Is Their Adversary by bikeskata

Walking on 6th Ave yesterday near the West 4th St courts , a junkie says to a dealer , how many packets can I get for $8?

The same dealers there everyday, I recognize the addicts as do the police . The drug sales are caught on high definition cameras and nothing is done . It's not even like anyone is subtle about it. The dealers didn't sign up in some state program to sell the stuff the just did it

The mistake the Cannabis sellers made is they tried to go legit, now the deal with the full force of the city/state. If you just start selling whatever you want you're good. Same thing happened in California, the illegal sellers are fine and the legit out of business.

NYS goes the extra mile in making things unpleasant for small businesses because they can. If you're a large company, you could care less about the fines and the state agencies have to navigate the massive corps departments and not the other way around .
