Third sentence makes mentioned of Latinx/e communities. If there is one way to ensure Latinos won’t participate in the workshop, it’s to throw the term Latinx around.

There is discrepancy between outlets coverage of this the the arraignment charges. Nearly all article have describe this as a strangulation (a felony) with the allege arrest charge being strangulation.

But the arraignment charges published on the public court date website shows the top charge he is facing is a misdemeanor assault charge.

When most New Yorkers care way more about violent repeat offenders overall ricidivism being down because misdemeanors rearrest deceased while violent felonies rearrest increase means little.

This is the second study in the past year that has claim “bail reform led to less rearrest” only for the numbers to clearly show that the overall decrease was driven solely by a drop in misdemeanor rearrest while felony rearrest rates increased.

The two year rearrest rate is down once you group misdemeanor, pending case, and violent felonies together. Misdemeanor rearrest being down is what pulls the overall numbers down.

But a look at the chart of page 17 clearly shows that those in the bail/reform group who had a pending case or were arrested on violent felony were more likely to be rearrested.

I think people care way more about those with a pending case and/or a violent felony arrest being more likely to get rearrested even if the raw numbers are relatively low when compared to misdemeanors.

Going to go out on a limb and say you only read the headline (and definitely did not bother to click the link leading the study) and completely missed how bail eligible suspects arrested on violent offenses saw there rearrest rate increase.

And look at the chart on page 17 of the study. Want to talk about picking stats. The chart clearly shows that those in the bail reform group who had a pending case where more likely to be rearrested across all categories (any rearrest, felony rearrest, violent felony rearrest).

And the same hold true for those initial arrested on a violent felony. The bail reform group were more likely to be rearrested across all categories compared to the comparison group.

So great, those that were a part of the bail/reform group who were initially arrested on a misdemeanor are less likely to be arrested while those on the bail/reform group who had pending case or arrested on a violent felony were more likely to be arrested.

Anybody that views this as any sort of “win” 100% just read the headline and whatever stats the author wanted to highlight.

Like I said. The chart is on page 17 of the study for anybody that wants to review for themselves.

Edited- page number updated. Chart is on page 17. Specifically, the one breaking down the two year rearrest rate.

That’s great and yet offenders in the category most new yorkers care about (violent offenders) saw there rearrest rates increase after being released.

Suspect was hit with 15k bond/5k cash bail. Most likely will be posted. Case with then go on for a 1 year plus in court dates before a plea deal is reached.

Actions that would have been 100% justified and could have been used by the first two cops. Repeated strikes, taser, spray. But they keep trying to just use arm control to control somebody bigger/stronger then them.

Crowd would have probably scream police abuse and become hostile had they used any of the tactics/devices above anyway.

People who resort to bringing up nationwide incarceration rates when stating X NYC violent offender should have never been free to commit another violent crime. They may be absent in this particular thread but I have dealt with plenty of them.

Then if you want to go beyond reddit. People in positions of power and/or with a following in regards to criminal justice. Tiffany Caban does not think this guy should be locked up. Advocates with a following (like rebecca kavanaugh, Adam Johnson, Scott hechinger) don’t think this guy should be locked up.

NY gets lumped with the rest of the country. NY (the state) incarceration rate is lower than the country average by quite a bit. And NYC rate of incarceration is even lower.

Nothing to see here. Just somebody who pleaded guilty to a sexually motivated burglary still out and about to rape more people.

But if one dares to call for the incarceration of such career violent repeat offenders you get accused of “wanting to lock everybody up”.

Crime has dropped compared to pandemic highs. The article you posted also clearly states crime is still “significantly higher” than pre-pandemic levels.

Your free to gloat but realize your gloating over crime simply being lower than pandemic highs. Seems like a low bar to be happy about.

November 2021 thru Sumer 2022 was the peak of pandemic crime. The year to year comparisons are going to be very favorable for 2023. Assuming the rate of decline stays consistent I will say we are about 2-3 years away from reaching pre-pandemic levels of crime (under 100k index crimes reported, under 300 murders and under 1000 shootings).

700 number refers to instances of somebody overdosing, in which it was reverse. It does not necessarily it prevented 700 people from overdosing. One person can be treated multiple time and each time a overdose was averted, it counts towards the 700 number.

Other articles have said these sites are essentially visited by the same 2,000 people throughout the year. With those people accounting for about 40,000 visits to these sites.

To add a bit more. They went into a employee only area in order to find the individual they wanted to attack. Which is why the surviving brother is facing burglary charges of his own.

This case going to end up like Jose Alba’s. The defense ain’t going to settle for a plea with a injured witness wholeheartedly backing up the defendant and going as far to say his coworker saved his life.

And all descriptions of the video seems to suggest that the brothers were the instigators.

Your right but this reddit does not consider people committing traffic base infractions/violations to be “soft targets”. They want the full weight of law to come down on them and any fears of bias policing goes away in regards in regards to traffic enforcement.

Look at the replied to the currently most liked comment on this post. Somebody that normally hates police gangs but is perfectly fine with this enforcement cause they rank traffic infractions as their #1 issue of concern.

To a decent size segment on here. Bike lane violations, fake plates is on par with assaults and robberies.

It’s funny how the gender breakdown is not mention even though it will be way more disproportionate than racial factors. It will probably be something like 95% of those arrested after a traffic stop being men. It’s like collectively that part gets dismissed cause society seems to understand/expect men to commit more offenses.

But if one were to say “maybe Black and Hispanic men get arrested more for fake plates because they are the one using fake plates”, now it’s problematic.

Great, a mentally ill individual with a documented history of violence is now responsible for killing someone. It seems this country is incapable of dealing with violent mentally ill people prior to them killing someone.

“The suspect is a 62-year-old Weng Sor homeless man and may have been living in the U-Haul truck, according to police.”

Article recently updated with the info above.

In the clip one sees a rider on a moped get hit by the truck with the cops right behind chasing. Timeline would have to be detailed to get a better idea exactly what happened. Was an active pursuit already on its way in the clip shown? Or did it only start once the moped driver was hit?

“abruptly swept vendors off the bridge — even if they had permits — and told them they could no longer do business there.”

Like how this sentence suggest that having a permit would make it OK to be on the bridge. Having a permit does not mean one can set up camp anywhere they want.

One of the three arrested is of the same name and age of the suspect invovled in a choking incident in October where a women pushing her baby in a stroller was randomly choked out

If he gets arrested, which I think its highly likely, does that mean automatic remove from congress? Or would the house still have to do their procedure to remove him?

With all the lying he has done. I would be shocked if those campaign funds did not involve some criminal element.

The hate crime element normally gets dropped in most cases.
