So glad you understand that the runaway slave catchers of yesteryear, who became the police is an unloved and unwanted entity 85% of the time. Your are wanted in situations of danger, when called, only.

And let's be honest, cops are barely competent when you do have to call them when in actual danger or victim of a crime.

Why are they downvoting facts? There is an element of intra racial discourse that will override the effectiveness or desire for police brutality protests. This is about Black people dehumanizing other Black people in efforts to distinguish themselves as deserving of rewards and benefits of white supremacy. Ain't no catchy slogan for that. Cops are scared, not this one, but the next explicitly obvious racist cop killing is the one they are terrified of.

Actually the game is to charge people with the highest possible crimes, have the remanded to Rikers for weeks, usually 6 to 8 months, then release them on reduced pleas with "time served". So, what they are charged with sounds way scary then what they served time for and are released back to the public.

I think it's about to be over for Chinatown, some think it's the developers, but it's...well, it's rich white people who will eat up then pimp out their community, piece by piece, block by block, building by building. Chinatown is literally surrounded by rich, white and gentrified neighborhoods (Soho, Tribeca, LES Financial District, Jersey City, Williamsburg, DUMBO) and when rich whites want something in NYC/Manhattan, they tend to take it. Even if they win this battle, that is prime real estate and they will just start buying people out explicitly.
