The NYPD spent $150 Million *extra* last year to catch people who weren't able to afford to pay the subway fare. They owed just $104,000.
$150 million could buy free fares (at going rate) for 95,000 poor New Yorkers per year.
Instead four people shot, including an officer.
NYPD shot 4 people, including one of their own officers, over a $2.90 fare evasion. They shot at someone over $2.90. This is what we mean when we say police protect property (wealth), not people.

If the protesters were Black, they’d enforce the law.
San Diego Police Department just gave me comment on protests of "stay-at-home" order in San Diego:
"We have decided not to enforce the law at this time. We welcome people to voice their frustrations and concerns in a peaceful way. We hope after they've done so, they'll disperse."

Yesterday, a man was released after serving 35 years for robbing a bakery of $50.
Today, 2 NYPD officers accused of raping an 18 y/o woman in their van & bribery will receive probation.
I just witnessed the most extraordinary moment. Judge David Carpenter in Bessemer, AL has resentenced Alvin Kennard to time served after he got life without parole for robbing a bakery of $50 in 1983. He is now 58 & was 22 when he committed the robbery.

The cycle:
1. Arrested because poor.
2. Court fees imposed. Can’t afford.
3. License suspended for not paying.
4. Need car for work, appointments.
5. Arrested for driving w/o license.
6. Court fees imposed. Can’t afford.
7. Rinse. Repeat.

In case you missed it. The NYPD spent $150 Million *extra* last year to catch people who weren't able to afford to pay the subway fare. They owed just $104,000.
$150 million could buy free fares (at going rate) for 95,000 poor New Yorkers per year. hellgatenyc.com/the-nypd-spe…
