Police Brutality
As below, an officer in Harlem shoved, followed, and reportedly hit a man who was heckling him at 125th and Malcolm X over the weekend.
The officer seemed to snap after the man repeatedly used a homophobic slur. The confrontation continued for several minutes. https://t.co/OUTqvERx12

"The data doesn't appear to back up the claim that many people released without bail go on to commit more crimes. Of the 2,641 people arrested and released without bail from April 1 to June 30, 195 were re-arrested … That's a recidivism rate of 7%." https://t.co/2WS6oTshvw
