What if George Floyd had been given a deal by the MN DA, for a plea on the alleged fake $20 bill? Pay it off over 5 years? Probation for a year not burial and not tens of millions in restitution, riot costs etc etc?

Eric Garner for sales tax avoided on his selling cigarettes? Probably less then $20?

If she and her crooked Millennium attorney had been given 10 years in Attica for grand larceny, conspiracy etc etc I would bet the NYT would, by next year, be unable to find fraud in the NYC homeless 'system.'

Law enforcement, prosecution and punishment is nonexistent for the rich in America.

New York City is severing ties with CORE Services Group, one of the largest nonprofit organizations running homeless shelters, citing the charity’s repeated management failures, conflicts of interest and excessive executive salaries.

The move came after a New York Times investigation published last month found that the chief executive of CORE, Jack A. Brown III, collected more than $1 million a year,hired his relatives and steered millions of dollars in business to for-profit companies he controlled. The city revealed it was ending its relationship with CORE late Monday in response to questions from The Times.

Mr. Brown had readily won contracts with the city even though state finance officials had concluded he had shown “a disturbing pattern of ethical violations.” He was the highest paid shelter operator in New York, according to a Times review of available records.

CORE, which has received more than $352 million in city funding in recent years, operates 15 sites of homeless housing, including shelters and hotels, around New York. The organization had ballooned in size as the city turned to nonprofit groups to open dozens of new shelters as part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s homelessness policy. [....]

"hired his relatives and steered millions of dollars in business to for-profit companies he controlled". BUT probably nobody told em that was wrong because it's like standard Dem machine practice for decades! In addition, it's common practice that when a citizen goes to the recipients of such largesse for help, they basically tell them to get lost, they got other work to do.

"She took $2,394,169 from Millennium Care beyond her official salary... Ms. Perry was able to use the nonprofit as her personal piggy bank in part because it had no board of directors, ... and “carried out its business in a persistently illegal manner.”

The corruption in NYC social services just runs so deep. And this doesn't get into simply doing a bad job and not delivering services paid for. This is just the straight-up criminal theft. pic.twitter.com/RZT3D7qYaD

Personally methinks Bill doth protest too much about at least some of the perps mentioned in the article, could get him in trouble with the wife, she knows her way around this set and I suspect has learned how to "do" a few things from them. Such as a $1 billion mental health program funded by taxpayers that doesn't seem to have accomplished much of anything, except make more well-paying city jobs for friends and relatives of Dem politicians and donors to them. Are we Thriving yet?
