Does Bratton ever apologize for the racial killings committed by blacks spurred on by his boss, DeBlowhard?

Seems to me the “two witnesses” are at fault...

The police were acting on their information...

As for the close take down maneuver...

Who wants two policeman chasing after a perp on a busy NY street?

Race did play a role in how he was arrested. Just like a white guy with a bunch of biker tattoos would have a bunch of cops show up to arrest the person matching the description. BIAS did play a role though. But then with the war on cops...they can’t be too careful.

This is a tough one. Police need to root out the bad cops and Black people need to root out the thugs.

Black in public.. Kind of like jaywalking these days in NYC.

What happen to no frisk?

I’d be guilty of tourist in alcohol induced shock if I went there.

If it was a mistake and the culprits looked like Blake I don’t think there is an issue.
But Blake is a known hot head and he probably would not be the most understanding type on this.

The old “they all look alike” excuse, eh Chief?

I can relate to being mistaken for a criminal (I think)

I was 17 years old and driving home at about 11:00 PM on a Saturday night in my parents full sized Ford window van. I got pulled over. I wasn’t speeding and was not inhibited by drugs or alcohol. I cooperated fully starting with the order from the PA to turn off the van and put my hands outside the window. I then waited for about 5 to 7 minutes until at least one other police car pulled up. Then an officer approached the window. All the spot lights were on aimed at mirrors so I couldn’t see anything that was going on. He asked for license and registration. I gave it to him and politely asked why I had been stopped. He simply said “keep your hands outside of the window and don’t move.” I painfully sat that way for an additional 30 minutes. I think more police cars pulled up at some point but couldn’t see very clearly. Finally, the same officer returned, gave me my stuff back and told me to have a nice night. I asked again why I had been stopped. He told me to “just be on your way”. As I drove away, I went from scared to angry. I assume they had a description of a similar van and/or perp and went to get a witness to make an ID or something. But why couldn’t he just tell me that? When I left the scene, it was 11:47PM.

I didn’t get an apology either. lol

If you look like James Blake, better stay out of NY.
