NY AG urges NYPD to reform social-distancing enforcement to ensure equal treatment for black, Hispanic people
Fox News ^ | 5/13/20 | Vandana Rambaran

Posted on 05/14/2020 9:21:19 AM PDT by AT7Saluki

State Attorney General Letitia James is calling on the New York Police Department (NYPD) to step up measures to bridge the gap between what seems to be a disparity between social-distancing enforcement of black and Hispanic people as compared to white people.

“The apparent unequal enforcement of social-distancing policies is deeply troubling, and deepens the divide between law enforcement and the people they are tasked to protect,” James said in a statement Wednesday.

Statistics released by the department just a day earlier showed that more than 90 percent of coronavirus-related arrests made throughout New York City since the lockdown restrictions began in March were of black or Hispanic people.

"Not social distancing, they want racial distancing"

Well, the Democrats had that when they segregated everyone. Now they want to do it again.

Whites comply, that’s why.

We know the true racists are the Dems. They see everything through a lens of racism. The lens needed cleaning off when Hillary hugged KKK member Robert Byrd. Oops.

Tacos implies cultural appropriation from Latinx people. The non persons of color could have a wagon with Wonder Bread, Blue Bonnet Margarine (sexist to have a woman but at least not using the Native American woman Mia on Land O Lakes butter) and maybe cornstarch and chipped beef. And vanilla wafers.

Gosh, this PC filtering stuff is hard. "When you just tell the truth you don't have to have a good memory."

How does this indicate biased enforcement? I don’t know whether bias happens or not. But this certainly is not evidence one way or the other.

people and 30 of them were Hispanic people.

This has NEVER been about YOUR or Loved Ones’ Health!

This has NEVER been about “protecting the most vulnerable”!

It is all about vicious tyrants controlling Americans.

Gov. Cuomo should just provide every man, woman, and child in New York with one of these hats. Then the social distancing would be automatic.

Why do I always have to think of everything?

The NYPD should just all stop coming to work for awhile. See what happens then.

The real title of this article should be: “Black State Attorney Wants Segregation of the Races Enforced.”

Florida Gov. DeSantis calls out other governors for ‘draconian’ lock-downs: ‘You’re not a dictator’
Fox News ^ | May 14 2020 | Talia Kaplan
Posted on 5/14/2020, 7:49:40 AM by knighthawk

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had a message on Thursday for other governors who have implemented “really draconian, arbitrary restrictions” during the corona virus outbreak, saying, “You don’t have unlimited authority and people do have rights.”

DeSantis made the comments on “Fox & Friends” in response to a question from host Ainsley Earhardt, who asked if he thinks that “some of these governors that are just doing a one-size-fits-all for the entire state” are “being too strict and going too far.”

“I don’t think any governor has the authority to restrict anyone unless there’s a direct relationship to combating this virus,” DeSantis said in response, cautioning governors against acting like a “dictator.”

Can’t have unequal numbers! It doesn’t matter if one ethnicity disobeys the rules more than another!

Once AGAIN, the double-token minority NY AG has come out with a racial issue as the most important thing for spending her time on. With this hack, it's always some kind of equality or racial issue and how the NYPD or other entity is being discriminatory. If the numbers of blacks or Hispanics ignoring social distancing rules (or any other rule or law) is greater, then the NYPD must arrest greater numbers of them. What's so difficult to understand about that? It is a known fact, one that Ms. James would probably like to go away, that the percentage of crimes committed by blacks and Hispanics is far greater than the percentage of whites (and Asians) committing them.

For misdemeanors in 2019, the arrestee was black 44.9% of the time, Hispanic 33.3% of the time, white 16.5% of the time, and Asian 11.2% of the time. For murder and non-negligent manslaughter, the arrestee was black 58% of the time, Hispanic 35.2% of the time, white 3.3% of the time, and Asian 3% of the time. The statistics are quite similar for rape, burglary, and other crimes. So why would one doubt that lesser crimes, also indicating a disrespect for rules and authority, would follow the same trend?
