Hard to workout when you’re at work all the time. I would also be on my phone, as it is the only way to communicate with everyone, while at work all the time.

Reply to comment by Odins-Enriched-Sack in Teen brutally attacked in NYC subway station; hate crime probed: NYPD by OpinionPoop

why the fuck do mass-arming people not acknowledge the fact that whoever gets the first draw usually wins? You also literally do not consider that bullets are very good at travelling through things, so good infact we use hollow points so that they don't travel through too many things, which they do anyway. Hell even in less densely packed places you can fucking see how "polite" society is in places like Florida or Texas. All you do is make the murder button way more accessible to people, a literal degradation of societal fabric when the stranger next to you is more likely than not a possible threat. I genuinely find it baffling how people fantasize about living in such a hellscape, where you could die at any moment.

How can you know about the the members of his staff leaving, but not know the details. They quit in protest because Bragg did not feel the case was yet strong enough. They told anyone that would listen that Trump was a criminal and Bragg was wrong to DELAY indicting him.

They realized early on they fucked up by mis reading but its waaaaaaaay too late to back down on an argument they have been foolishly making for years most likely. Now they are just gonna double and triple down or ignore replies

It absolutely has in fact that was the main argument used for the last arbitration hearings

Combined with the fact that nypd pays way less than all the neighboring departments.

they got rid of the mta employee at my local subway station and instead there's three cops looking bored and i have to flag them down to open the emergency exit for me so i can bring in my bicycle, that i use because transit so unreliable. meanwhile the city is projected to be $350+ million overbudget on PD overtime this year, make it make sense

Some do, and they will benefit from lower congestion. For overwhelming majority of people who drive to Manhattan it is completely unnecessary to drive. Asking drivers to cover their own costs instead of asking the residents to burden themselves is reasonable and ethical. The goal is not to eliminate private cars. They are not closing the bridges.
