In the video it looks like it happened in the projects.

It's pretty amazing that there are projects across the street from Lincoln Center.

ETA: Apparently that area was slums and Robert Moses cleared them in order to build Lincoln Center, but even he couldn't demolish a NYCHA housing project.

You sitting here pretending you're right, with some kind of moral high ground, is humorous to me.

I just came back from Japan and their rail system. That’s hard work and dedication, our rail system is absolute garbage with a corrupt union that eats our money.

I’m sure you need to feel that way

Chin up champ

City Journal is a conservative ideological think-tank. Not exactly offering good evidence for your case here. All 7 of those are completely rational and fair. It's necessary to give the defense some defense (lol), since the system is already materially and structurally in favor of prosecution; the point is to reach a place of balance and equality, not to preserve the status quo and call it fair.

So procecutors don't have a system to get the defentants attorney the docs within 6 months. My industry Iwork in has an absurd amount of government regulation that keeps changing and date after date to comply with and the industry changes with the changes. Speculilized Software is used and other techniques. Why can't supper smart attorneys figure it out?

Glad to have your input, as someone working in the field. I'll offer some other relevant input, as someone who's been fucked over by the laws amended therein.

As a college student arrested for a protest charge, I didn't hear a thing for months. I finally show up for my first hearing, and my charges are elevated from misdemeanor to felony. No evidence presented, judge accepts. Now wait a few more months. I'm now at another university hours away. I start having to take monthly trips to go to hearing after hearing. Discovery went on for nearly 1.5 years, meaning I kept having to show up, sick or in health, impacted by school or not, etc, and make my dates. Trial pushed back the entire time, until it's finally time for it, and they drop all charges during pre-trial.

I'm sure having limited time for discovery limits prosecutors. I also know that prosecutors have something near a 10-1 material advantages over public defenders (there's a logic to this: PD defend only poor, prosecutors go after public and privately represented clients; this doesn't eliminate the impact on poor clients with even more overworked and under-resourced representation), not to mention structural advantages and inherently (& ideologically) better relations with police and judges. Sometimes a disadvantage on one side, as important and often benevolent that side may be, serves to right the balance-- so that innocent people don't have their lives ruined by endless court dates and unequal quality of representation.

Because of all that work the 7 train was a beast of efficiency the last time I took it to my graduation.

Wow. Interesting where do u recommend these workers go apply after they have some experience under their belt? Also what’s good 1-4 years of experience? Asking cuz my bf is also working for a similar company who’s paid just under $100K and I thought he was doing well to have no experience.

NBC news frequently leaves out the race when it’s a white dude too…. Never see anyone complain in those articles though. Wonder why.

Having to play pretend all day every day to humor a bunch of antiracist babies is getting very tiring

PS: In Italy we have two kinds of fascists, fascists and anti-fascists

I think a much more valuable statistic would be comparing cases brought by prosecutors to number of convictions

Claim to what

Yeah ok I'm done here lol. Idk if you have an inability to actually absorb information, but re-read what I said.

The reason rape and violent crimes keep happening is because NYC has a habit of releasing and re-releasing repeat offenders and violent criminals. The reason that happens is because we have a prison overpopulation problem in the state. Most rapes aren't done by someone with a spotless criminal record.

Keeping violent criminals in prison, and having them actually fear the NYC justice system WILL reduce rape. Christ I feel like I'm debating a wall lol. Have fun, I'm done here

Yeah.. that it happens isn't surprising. That it's 20x more than convicted is shocking.

The items required don't sound unreasonable, but the focal point of the article was the time frame that they're required to turn over all of that evidence in. Seems like there's more of a limited resource of staffing and man hours, not a lack of access to the evidence. And it seems like these requirements were instituted either out of ignorance to the reality of its feasibility or malice to cripple the system.

I'd bet a lot of money the same people that bought this bill to fruition are not even remotely interested in increasing staffing to meet its obligations.

Hey Frenchie,

Defendants are entitled to a fair trial and to any and all evidence that exculpatory. But the reforms lump in every single irrelevant piece of paper that must be provided within the statutory period. I agree with you. It's extremely frustrating having to console a victims and tell them that there is nothing that I can do because it's the law. And I am worried about their safety because their abusers and assailants are still out there.

A justice system where you don't reach the merits of a case isn't functional. It will lead to vigilante violence.

he’s clearly dark skinned, i mean, yeah, that’s better than not including it? what’s the harm in including as much info as possible?

Yes but the people you're responding to ARE looking for squares, no matter if the missing or responsible shape is a triangle.

That's the obvious nature of what is being done here-- trying to fix the perceptual gap here that's in no small bit responsible for crime statistics being skewed so heavily toward squares--, and why they're so mad. They don't want to believe there's anything to it other than squares commit the most crimes, and they refuse to address any reasons there might be for it. They just want to see a square match the description and get what's coming to them. No more thought to make things human, just shapes and statistics.

legalized prostitution helps a lot

The NYPD? Arrest someone who hadn't committed any crime? They would never do that!
