The NYC council is a disgrace. Let the cops do their job or don't call 911

[@IHateEverything376]

As a New Yorker people like Councilmember Tiffany Caban are destroying NYC.

[@samueltorres521]

The NYC councils actually are garbage just like the chief said

[@melissakalloway1916]

Wasting time on non-issues rather than going after law breakers and criminals who are destroying your communities.

[@mashkanyc]

Right! Pissing me off as someone that lives here. It’s like the one dept that (knock on wood) was revamped and is being efficient finally. They should be focusing on wtf is going on w the court system and a million of other issues we need to streamline

[@samueltorres521]

@@mashkanycthey won’t do that because they support criminals all the nyc councils

[@Otter-Destruction]

Nah the council members just don't like having their points challenged, only they're allowed to criticize people, nobody else is allowed to criticize them.

[@stevensica5918]

A pity that the NYPD never shows the same initiative and creativity in dealing with the masses of anti-social inner city underclass types who do so much to make NYC such a crappy place.

NYC needs a new mayor and a new "tone".

Yeah may be you should go back to P.R. See how safe you are there!!

[@cynthiamarie2107]

So the mayor thinks it's okay for the nypd to start a war? If going into Hamilton Hall is part of their job that's fine. Inciting hatred of city council members who question them is not part of their job. It is reactionary, malicious and gratuitous. It's the city council's job to oversee local law enforcement.

[@sammalone4239]

Tats why the city is a dump

[@MildredCarr-je7gm]

🙃🙏🥱

[@zoomanx9661]

SPEAK THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!

[@mashkanyc]

Looked up this congresswoman & this is what’s on her official campaign page .. this is wild .. “Defund, and ultimately disband, the NYPD and replace it with a community-led public safety infrastructure Create a citywide bail vouchers program to facilitate the release of incarcerated individuals”.

[@maddominican879]

Yeap but when something happens to a family member of one her supporter they will say nypd is racist.smdh they voted for this beech

[@beckinfidelis3916]

OOH! So she's nuts and should probably be locked in a psychiatric facility? 😂😂 Only a nut job would lobby to replace cops with "community-led public safety infrastructure" 🤮 Guess she would put her little totalitarian brown shirt followers in charge of that. One of my biggest questions is whether they actually have planned out what that "infrastructure" would be and, if so, how come they never tell us precisely what it means? These people are control freaks, they would be worse than the police and would truly decide who they wanted to protect. There would be so much discrimination and persecution involved.

[@FuzzyStayBuzzin183]

I still don't understand what those trust fund kids was protesting

[@Edward34666]

So now the Nypd wants to be responsible and respectful

[@stevensica5918]

WHY DOES the NYPD even need or have a social media account?

[@mashkanyc]

Which neighborhood does that woman represent?? Wtf nyc police finally acting professionally and being efficient w out hurting anyone that’s not a threat and some of these council people still trying to twist it to some political got yous. I don’t like when police post things w political leanings and opinions bc that’s the disadvantage of being in such a profession but I doubt most New Yorkers disagree with what was actually said. So it’s a nuanced issue imo. Some people really trying to hype this and turn into something it wasn’t and rewrite history it’s really messed up and hope it won’t change police back to being as*holes.

[@mashkanyc]

Edit* ok she’s district 22 Astoria

[@asha8443]

As a resident of the metro nyc area, I support the NTC City council

[@samueltorres521]

You also support criminals bet because those city councils make laws to support criminals

[@stevensica5918]

Ah, the Chief of Patro; just wants to protect his pension. the only real issue here is self-interest and the bloated pensions of the NYPD.

[@josephdidonato8973]

Let the police 👮‍♀️ police. The city is dying every day and these criminals running the city don’t care. What tourist wants to come there and spend money!!!
