And of course, there is total silence from the likes of NY MAGA representatives, Mike Lawler, Claudia Tenney, Elise Stefanik...all who quickly post about the vicious crimes being perpetrated by undocumented immigrants.
This is disturbing and why are the cops not charged for murder yet? disgusting white racist men showing us all hate crimes against black people is real and we all need to stand together! I can't imagine what his family is going through right now! No Justice No Peace 💙
Please keep in mind, as you are rightly outraged. All NYS CO's are not like this. Yes I am from the area. Many other CO's who are brother, sisters, fathers and mothers are being threatened now and this is not right. Let justice be served and believe me it will be.
Two things can be true at once. Just because you're somebody's brother or father or mother doesn't mean you're NOT a psychopath. Even Saddam Hussein was somebody's father.
If your department has officers who would beat a handcuffed man to death, then you are NOT the good guys.
All should be immediately terminated and arrested for 2nd degree murder or aggravated manslaughter at a minimum. Loss of whatever pension or benefits they may have had coming
My nephew was there.Had a untreated abscess for a yr and at 6'3" weighed 135 . Guards abused inmates ALL the time. There's no justice in our justice system.
Absolutely disgusting watching that video, pinning him down while the others beat him to death. An execution, no other word for it. Life imprisonment for all involved.
That is what always surprises me: everything is recorded, yet the intrinsic violence that dominates their instincts completely overshadows that detail. The fact that the consequences are minimal is definitely a major reason, but I like the idea of emphasizing the senseless violence. Sad
In 2020 it was so easy to see protest happening everywhere now the news barely reports on them because the American government doesn’t want us knowing that they’re happening. Please report on protest more.
Here we go. There's a culture among guards who routinely protect each other for many reasons. You can start the whitewashing all you want but here were are, again and again.
"“Law enforcement professionals must be held to the highest standards of accountability, and I am committed to providing New Yorkers with the transparency they deserve,” James said in a statement."
Yes that's why they should have all been arrested by now. FFS.
anyone in law enforcement includes those who patrol and police incarcerated people. they still count as law enforcement just like those who work dispatch and those who work the evidence room and the wardens, too.

They are terrorists.
Jail for life.

We have the same issues here in the UK with violent officers never being challenged until it is too late for someone.
Merica, we are so broken.
