Lmao this is so obviously made in bad faith. If they all have a similar pattern or common denominator, it absolutely is a trend.

So you know the NYPD isn’t to be trusted.

Sure bro

> Finally, I realize there are a lot of bored white people like you (as revealed by "prick" and "fascist") who want a pet project or something, but minorities are not it. We don't need your "help". Stop promoting hatred of and undermining the police. We live in the high crime neighborhoods and public housing that are ravaged by gangs, not you.

Lmao just because you refuse to acknowledge a problem doesn’t mean it’s not there. I’m not promoting hatred of anything. These guys are doing it to themselves, so fuck you for trying to defend the police for behaving badly. I guarantee you wouldn’t feel the same if it happened in your community.

No, but it’s very telling the connection between the places you visit and the garbage you spout.

> Both sides aim for the same goal. To rob the hard working man blind. What they accomplish in the interim may be different but the end goal is the same. Rob from the poor and give to the rich.

Lmao you’re trolling if you think the biggest investment in clean technology and clean industries ever doesn’t help the poor.

All of those incidents happened during Giuliani and Bloomberg’s administrations. They have some serious blood on their hands.

> Were we better off during stop-and-frisk, or in 2022 when 150 KIDS were shot, making them 1 out 10 shooting victims?

Lmao you do realize that doesn’t help your case, right? Especially, given the plainclothes unit was reinstated last year.

> Maybe you DGAF about these kids, or the other shooting victims, because they are overwhelmingly in places like the South Bronx and East NY.

Lmao don’t act like you care about them, prick. You’re just using them as pawns in your argument for more fascist police measures.

> The oppo presented was about Santos's wealth (which they presented as sketchy but without real evidence of wrongdoing ) and phony charity.

But it follows the pattern that he’s exaggerated every part of his life and image.

If the media had done its job, it would have followed up on that by pulling on the thread.

> DCCC and Zimmerman focused more on his anti-abortion views and connection with Trump.

To quote a stupid man, that’s bulls hit and you know it.

As I said before, it’s hard to prove that, because the Zimmerman campaigns complaints were ignored in favor of more crime reporting which played into Santos’ hands.

What oppo there was was covered by small independent news stations
