The New York Police Department has always been a gang; it has been a racist gang populated with white interlopers from Long Island, Staten Island, and Queens since its inception.
The history books are full of tales of corruption, racism, and lawlessness; City of New York residents are forced to pay for this criminal gang of welfare leeches to brutalize them.
Unfortunately for people of color who live in New York City, this lawless, unaccountable gang does as it please, and no one in authority has the power to bell the cat.……no, not even the Mayor, this gang long belled him.
