How do you close Rikers by building new facilities on Rikers thus keeping Rikers open?

It seems like the judge really needs to explain themself.

I’m on the train or bus 7 days a week and I’ve never had a doorman or private security. But please, continue to make assumptions about people you know nothing about.

Safety and crime are top of mind because tabloid journalists push a narrative of the city being out of control, which only perpetuates fear of safety and crime.

In actuality, if you go outside or actually live in the city, it’s extremely unlikely you’ll be a victim of a random crime. If you ride the subway, it’s extremely unlikely you’ll encounter a situation where your life is in danger. But if every story you read in the paper is about crime, you’re going to think the world is falling apart.

The Federal government should be issuing grants directly to the locality because it’s clear the Texas state government on the whole has no interest in actually solving these problems.

Apparently the person pushed in front of the train bumped someone, that person dropped their phone on the tracks, and it escalated from there. Not even close to worth a life.
