Newtown class of 2000 reporting in. It was so crowded we had freshmen year of highschool in some building on horrace and 108th st that had no windows. I think that building is some vocational or magnet school now if you pass it on the LIE. That freshmen year sucked.

words together make a sentence.

Having lived out of NYC for a while, this story made me both proud and homesick.

Because when the law was passed barring military unions, we were at the height of the Cold War and the most ardent pro-military union elements were sympathetic to the USSR.

If anything, you might be pointing more to the need to allow military unions than anything. For what it’s worth, National Guard members serving in a state capacity can be unionized.

> De Blasio was progressive.

He was a progressive because he dared to go on TV and say that he feared his biracial son would get shot by NYPD. Then the staten islanders were real unhappy

The military doesn't get fucking unions. The people who man our nuclear missiles don't have unions. I am pro labor as they come but maybe we can have this one exception.

The issue is the people in charge don't give a shit because one call to one of their many connections and even the worst fucking cops will back the fuck away unless they're the dumbest of the dumb even by police standards.

The rest of us don't have that privilege - the unions are doing exactly what the bulk of politicians want that's why they have constantly grown stronger despite how vile and corrupt they are. Their main objective is protecting the people with power and money and keeping everyone else at bay regardless of how many innocent get hurt or killed as long as THEY'RE PROTECTED AND SAFE. How else do you think the rich get away with so much shit, they play by different rules - good cops won't let anyone get away with breaking the law, the ones we have now will...

It's a massive systemic problem from the top down.

No, they doxxed her. They leaked her private information to the SBA that then put it on Twitter.

What happened to safe spaces???

>What should happen if a police officer steps outside of their legally-restrained role which unfortunately exists in a fast-paced, high-tension environment with a lot of grey areas and "he said, she said."

What SHOULD happen is that even the slightest possible hint of impropriety is met immediately with strict discipline, because any organization that has a state-sanctioned right to use force against human beings has to be held to the highest possible standard.

Police officers should have it drilled into their heads that every action is held to scrutiny and judged, and should be constantly reminded that they serve the public and not the other way around.

Thanks! We were pretty ethnically diverse.

Thanks random redditor, I’ll definitely take your word over the study

No, but they're viewed as a de facto racial group. And every Latino neighborhood in NYC is pan-Latino more or less anyway.

There are such things as stupid questions
