Watching the Mayor and NYPD take a victory lap today should concern us all. The events of last night were not inevitable and should not be "celebrated"
They were created because the Pres of Columbia escalated a non-violent protest, and the mayor who has yet to say the words
"From the moment the President of Columbia—30 hours into a nonviolent protest of students on the lawn—called the NYPD in...that sent reverberations throughout the nation...They escalated every single point of the way."
The public advocate spoke to media about student arrests.

It’s clear now that there wasn't a “billion dollar cut” to the NYPD. Even more, we have yet to engage in reimagining what public safety truly means.

NYPD was trying to clear the street to make an arrest. Aggressively.
Officers then appeared to begin setting up for mass arrests— we intervened to try and de-escalate and prevent that.
Most importantly, there seems to be a lack of leadership when the City needs it the most.

As we near the final budget vote, it has become clear that this budget ignores some of the most critical elements of reducing NYPD funding and redefining public safety.
Unless it meets those needs, I will use my Charter authority to prevent the budget from being executed.

I didn't plan on tweeting during the
#DemDebate
but..
..I'm stunned
@JoeBiden
answered the question on race with absolutely no validation of
@KamalaHarris
experiences. 😳
Not sure
@PeteButtigieg
answer was good enough but appreciated the simple
"Cause I couldn't get it done"

No, I don't know what happened before this video began. But what I do know is this:
there was a doorway right there, and a woman selling Churros who could've been persuaded to just leave w/out a fine or arrest.
Those who would disagree, I sincerely ask why.
Tonight as I was leaving Broadway Junction, I saw three or four police officers (one of them was either a plainclothes cop or someone who worked at the station) gathered around a crying woman and her churro cart. Apparently, it's illegal to sell food inside train stations. 1/?

This family that has endured so much tragedy and devastation...
My prayers, my empathy, my wishes for peace and comfort go out to Gwen Carr and the rest of her family in this incredibly difficult time of loss.

All I'm saying is:
What if
@NYCMayor
@NYGovCuomo
even horrific 45 took half the energy of being swift, bold & forceful to put down the protests..
..to develop/articulate plans to address the justified anger & pain that caused it

I attended the wake of a 1 y/o killed by a bullet
I could barely look at the tiny coffin or listen to the children's music. Kept thinking of the horror it felt to just be there
Then I saw his dad...mom...& grandma
My G-D we owe them more than rhetoric

I‘m glad that
#JazmineHeadley
is being released, but this incident should never have occurred-
It’s the result of criminalizing the poor & the
@NYCMayor
creating an environment where officers aren’t held accountable.
I won’t let victims be villainized

I dont' know the intent of Daniel Peele when he choked
#JordanNeely
to death, nor all that happened before the video began
I do know that if a Black, homeless man choked a white marine to death because he was scared, he'd be sitting in Rikers unable to pay the bail set for him
The Rev. Al Sharpton, in a fiery address, demanded criminal charges against all involved in the choke-hold death of Jordan Neely.
“If you do not prosecute ... you will set a standard of vigilantism that we cannot tolerate.”

NYC schools should go remote starting Mon (should've been last week)
A no-brainer as we near recess
@NYCMayor
ends term proving he's still willing to take needless risks & hasn't learned enough lessons
@GovKathyHochul
should seriously consider the same

#IAmNotOkay
We cannot be okay.
These charges say that while
#BreonnaTaylor
was killed, there was no killer & will be no real consequences. This decision ignores her death & disrespects her life.
I’m not okay with that, not until true justice or new system that can achieve it.
