Reply to comment by [deleted] in NYPD is Illegally Sending People to Rikers Without Ever Seeing a Judge, Lawsuit Claims by psychothumbs

Sorry that happened to you. If it helps, I'm still fucking pissed about it.

FYI to everyone reading this, this happened to a lot of people in NYC. Cities across the country really. In a bottle, it's enough to spark protests but because it happened during the height of the protests, it feels like it was forgotten.

I was living in Philly and same shit. Heard Chicago and NYC were even worse.

Those PD's will never be able to improve in my mind. I don't see how - those unions are way too powerful and police have special rules that most union members do not. Hope they get chased out of the cities they police and back into the suburbs that they reside. They and their unions are a stain on this country and if they were more human they would probably feel enough shame to have a collective heart attack.

Yep. They treated you guys like cattle. That period of time was the most horrified I've been of events in the US in my lifetime, and the way cops were rounding people up was a big reason for that (again to everyone here: no one knew where these people were taken. I had friends that i lost contact with for days. Had to file missing persons reports. How ironic due to where those reports go). Pretty much convinced me this country will not be coming back.

Still gonna give a shit about it all though.

Oh yeah they are and were fine, it's just a ridiculously brazen move. They were arresting, beanbagging, and pepperspraying people who weren't even protesting, let alone rioting. A lot of the cops in Philly were just out there to hurt people because their feelings were hurt, and they were having fun doing it. And since then they haven't even worked.

Anyways - I'm glad to now live in NYC where our police are so much better.... lol. Cheers mate.
