>Noooo you mean Debumblio was also just another mayor who did whatever financial interests wanted him to nooooooo
Earlier you cited De Blasio as some sort of example or model mayor. Now he is not? A little more coherence doesn't hurt.
By the way, I have no problem with making Riker's a better place. I have issues with the notion that De Blasio was some sort of hero or that he represented anything whatsoever consistently. All those things, he could've started on year 1, rather than on year 7.

I’m not saying this is a bad thing. They’re a ne essay part of the legal system. But people are barking up the wrong tree if they think “this law will help criminals get away with gun crimes” is something defenders would care about.

Any rule like the right to an attorney? Unfortunately for you an accusation doesn't terminate your civil rights.

Anyway, lol "defund the police" still running with this shit years later. He moved money from one cop department to another cop department. Bad faith horseshit as always.
The amount of Terry Stops plummeted and crime went down.
I have no idea what your problem with wanting to make Riker's not a hellscape where kids kill themselves waiting years for a stolen back-pack trial, but I guess that's your kinda thing!

They’re job is to get people accused of crimes off. They don’t care if their clients are guilty or not, so any rule that makes it easier to get away with crimes is good for them.

Intense. Evocative. Really like that hint of color. Well done.

What would an innocent person be getting away with? This is why you're incorrect. You admit that they defend both and imply that they do not.

You say that, but anecdotes like that carry a lot more water in this sub than you think, especially among a large section of a certain kind of commenter.

Not necessarily, but the job of the defender is exactly the same whether their client did it or not.

When exactly did De Blasio end stop and frisk? https://theintercept.com/2021/06/10/stop-and-frisk-new-york-police-racial-disparity/
De Blasio, he wanted to pose as progressive, but at core he wasn't. Just like many other "progressive" politicians in NYC, so much so that progressiveness in NYC has lost its historical meaning at this point.
Why else do you think De Blasio would wait 7 years to:
- Disband the violent crimes unit
- Defund the Police
- Announce an "emergency" plan to improve the situation at Riker's

> accused criminals get away with it.
Because everyone knows once you're accused, you have something to get away with

Reply to comment by kinovelo in NYC official says city is spending an estimated $10M a day on housing, feeding migrants by NYY657545
I think this requires more federal intervention or at least state help, it's too complicated to handle at a city level. The city is just going to do what is the fastest and easiest, which means the most expensive and not sustainable for long without making things worse. I'm not sure how much Biden can do without help from congress (with the House being run by Republicans) though. But maybe there's at least more that can be done at the state level, like splitting up the migrants into several cities and not putting most of the burden on NYC.

Why did crime continue to go down under Communist Dictator Bill DeBozio's Pro-Crime regime of ending stop and frisk and curbing police goonery

Reply to comment by LongIsland1995 in NYC is more ethnically diverse, less racially segregated, report finds by Ice_Business
It isn't cheap, and perhaps more importantly, it doesn't have the social life and other draws that Brooklyn does. Unless hipsters suddenly get into bachata and reggaetón, the Bronx largely lacks the sort of nightlife and businesses that might otherwise attract them in spite of the price.

Nothing. I worked at a Fintech that "required" 3 months notice. Got a strongly worded email from HR when I gave a 3 week notice but that was it.

You're not saying it you're just implying it. The one job of public defender's is not to help "accused criminals" get away with it, it's to defend the rights of the accused.
