Reply to comment by archiotterpup in '#teamsendthemback': Private emails reveal cozy relationship, cooperation between NYC correction officers and ICE by mowotlarx

We literally do not. We live in one of the most liberal cities in America. People leave police states to come live here. I’m not saying this situation in the article isn’t shady af, but calling nyc a police state is just as hyperbolic as the Post calling it a crime-ridden wasteland.

Rikers is an internationally notorious deadly jail facility. I think it's fair to call what we have here a police state so long as we have Rikers.

As far as jail goes, it’s not the biggest mortality problem in NYC.

People who stay in a NYC shelter are more likely to die than people who stay in Riker’s.
