Where is the limit?
A 44-year-old old aspiring rapper with a loving family was shot dead on W. 17th St. near Ninth Ave. on Sunday night.
He had 16 arrests, mostly drug offenses, and served four terms in state prison, all connected to selling drugs. He totaled 16+ years in prison.

The police are also forbidden by policy from recording video at "mostly peaceful" riots and amazingly enough it turns out that literally every single person who had force used on them was peaceful! Amazing!https://t.co/ZWkl7pCYnO

It's actually just ghosts and poltergeists doing the rioting, throwing rocks, looting, and committing arson. Truly amazing stuff.

Unless of course the riots are politically to the right, in which case NONE of them are ever peaceful.
— The OG energy drink (@pourover16) December 1, 2022

It's just really astonishing how accurately you can predict whether police force at a riot will be judged brutality suppressing speech or actually insufficiently violent based on the perceived political affiliation of the rioters. Uncanny.

Reminds of I had a talk I had with a friend and Legal Aid lawyer. He wanted to figure out a way to prohibit people confessing to crimes on recorded phone calls from Rikers to be used in court. I still don't get why this was a goal. Like don't we want the guilty convicted? No.
— Peter Moskos (@PeterMoskos) December 1, 2022

Like I understand the constitution requires those accused to get legal aid, but shouldn't even Legal Aid want those who commit and confess on their own free will to their crimes to be found guilty?
But the answer is no. It's odd to me.
Why do people want the guilty to go free?
— Peter Moskos (@PeterMoskos) December 1, 2022

But once one accepts that a certain "reform" crowd really want nobody to be convicted of a crime ever, then the rest of it all makes sense.
The mentality of some defense attorneys baffles me.
Do your best. But do really want the guilty to go free? The answer seems to be yes.
