In case any of us weren’t feeling the police state dystopia enough -NYPD will being using drones to watch backyard parties over the holiday weekend.
“Mayor Eric Adams, a former police captain, has said he wants to see police further embrace the “endless” potential of drones, citing Israel’s use of the technology as a blueprint after visiting the country last week.“
The family of #BrianSicknick, the #PoliceOfficer who died during the #Jan6 attack, blasted Trump’s appearance at a wake Thurs for slain #NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller.
Charles & Kenneth Sicknick on Fri expressed condolences to Diller’s family, but said #Trump’s appearance, especially the #PressConference outside a funeral home, was nothing but an #inappropriate#PoliticalStunt.
NYPD robot cop can't go down or up stairs by itself, but "patrols" the subway. I put it in quotes because it seems to need 5 human cops in order to be out in public.
After questions from ProPublica, the #NYPD has agreed to end its practice of withholding body-cam footage of #police shootings from civilian investigators. Under the deal, police will hand over requested footage within 90 days.
It's essentially a good faith agreement that does not have the force of law or lay out penalties.
Throw the #Jew down the well: Achievement Unlocked
"The New York Post spoke to the #teacher, who is #Jewish, who revealed she hid in a locked office at Hillcrest High School for two hours as students took over the hallways, damaging water fountains."
"#NYPD officers escorted the teacher safely out of the building. However, students told the Post they've figured out both her phone number and home address."
> “Walking while Black” laws, first created in California in 1925 as a safety measure and lobbied by the automobile industry, are controversial due to racist enforcement and because they shame pedestrians while giving more protections to cars on the road
I like how the news framed this shot. Adams vetoes #NYPD transparency bill.. oh look at all that illegal sidewalk parking outside whatever precinct (lol, it's EVERY precinct) that is.
An anti-Israel student group at #Columbia Law School sent a threatening email on Friday telling #Jewish students that they will be neither "safe" nor "free" until "everyone is safe" and "Palestine is free."
The National Lawyers Guild chapter that defended #Hamas#Oct7 attack, put out a statement condemning school for calling in #NYPD to clear out occupied building.
The statement told #Jews that they are not safe & accused Jewish students who oppose divestment of threatening everyone's safety.
#NYC's corrupt mayor (redundant phrase) had the #NYPD attack/assault Columbia students protesting #Gaza genocide after a private call with several pro-#Israel billionaires who promised political donations for his reelection campaign. Such a succinct example of how the sequestration of capital, political power, and violence within a tiny elite is the norm in this country.
