Who is upvoting this dumbass, ignorant shit?

Those cases probably just involve facts that the police don't want to come out through discovery - like a video showing the accuser is a liar while simultaneously being a record of incredibly poor behavior on the part of the officer. Otherwise I don't buy the settlements.

I was referring to the people here saying the city should litigate the worst of these cases, as if that'd be cheaper than settling them. In that sense, we probably don't disagree. My point was more that, if the city had to litigate a particularly high profile/risk case, it'd probably not be significantly more expensive for the city as compared to a normal party in a litigation.

How many do you think people are asking the city to litigate here? it was clearly quite a few, no need to be this obtuse.

The judges are salaried, the staff are salaried, they show up every day regardless of whether its a criminal or civil trial. I'm aware the system costs money. However, you are making an unfounded assumption that actually litigating some cases would result in any meaningful differences in expenditures by the city, when it's likely NOT the case.

Lol how much do you think those are? They are defendants, they aren't paying filing fees.

The city has its own law department. They get paid a salary, regardless of whether or not the city settles.

Damn almost like the attempt to overthrow the gov't on a theory of overturning the election results and installing Trump as the (unelected) president would be exactly what you are talking about, but what the fuck do I know?

>I had this same conversation with some MTA person and I couldn't get an answer lol

Do you ask McDonald's employees why corporate does something?

NY Dems really fucked up this past congressional race

Yeah, we shouldn't allow Seamless and Door Dash to treat their workers and categorize them this way...

You seem to have confused me with someone else

You are on some insane strawman about people getting killed, as opposed to the tons of crashes that happen and go unreported all the time, which is what I'm talking about.

>Of course they are reported. Every vehicular injury and death is reported because they end up in police reports. If delivery guys were killing people we'd have known by now. Be serious.

No they don't. I was literally hit by a car and the cops came and didn't do anything and kept it out of the statistics. You are naive.

>If delivery guys were killing people we'd have known by now

What the fuck are you talking about? No one is saying delivery guys are killing people. I'm saying they get into crashes all the time and none of its reported, to the cops, to insurance...

Why? Because the riders have questionable citizenship statuses, don't want to deal with the liability, aren't going to wait around for cops, etc, etc. Honestly, hard to take you seriously if you are actually arguing this.

>And I can't imagine why they would be underreported if someone has damages that are more than an insurance deductible.

The guy delivering your chinese food isn't make a claim on insurance for any damages because a) they aren't waiting for a police report, b) they don't have insurance that covers them biking. Honestly - what the fuck are you talking about?

Yet the customers already pay and the riders get no support...

Fuck door dash and fuck you!

Do you think most crashes or incidents by delivery guys get reported? I'd think any delivery person on delivery person incident would not be reported.

The customers already do... if you order on seamless or door dash, it's something like 10-15% fee on top of a delivery fee, on top of the tip.

So much for marijuana decriminalization

They'd rather argue about whether or not the Times is biased because of their education reporting, and ignore the entire point of the article, which is that the NYTimes continues to facially misrepresent the riots and the roles Jews played in them.

Bernstein is an insidious moron and a joke in the legal community and I promise you that has nothing to do with whatever he's saying about the Times. You probably didn't realize this, being a Bernstein fan, but it's clear the Times recognizes Jews as a racial category. The point was they don't recognize Hasidim.

You kinda skip over everything he said about their reporting of the riot...

I'm not a hasidic jew, but I certainly see the point he's making about the language the Times used and their characterization of the riot. Did you know that the Times tried to cover up the holocaust?
