For guys who huff and puff about the need for speedy justice from the courts, the mayor and the NYPD sure have fuck-all to say about the cops who killed Kawaski Trawick 5 years ago whose disciplinary case, entirely in their control, is still unresolved. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-sti…

How copaganda works. An entire article pushed by 'law enforcement sources' on a 'brazen gangster' repeatedly free to cause havoc. All bc of bail reform. What they fail to mention?

Ahem:

Bail was set. At $20,000. He's currently on Rikers. Nothing at all to do w/ bail reform.

🗣️ Senator London Lamar: “Teachers don’t even want this. This bill is dangerous... look at that gallery. Those mothers are asking you not to do this.”

With a baby in her arms. Powerful. But every Senate Republican voted yes anyway, as troopers dragged out the moms above.

Scott Hechinger There were less than 900 voters in AZ in 1865.

Someone stole William Woods’ identity. The LAPD arrested him, believing the identity thief over him.

A judge later sent Woods to a mental hospital because he maintained (rightfully so) that he was the real William Woods. I interviewed him here
