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.

The cops will just selectively enforce it and not even bother trying in the ghetto.

Hmm...The majority of people infected* are POX and the majority arrested for non compliance are POX. Maybe there is a connection here? Nah.

Human garbage, its the officers fault that black and Hispanic idiots fail to distance themselves while you help white people do the same, how dare you.. Cuomo was heard saying hes going to have his AG look into the nursing home deaths, you mean the AG garbage you appointed? State after state We have been awakened by the deliberate rat destruction of our country. November cant come fast enough

This county is finished. Many things will appear to be the same but the USA as it stands is in name only. All of this sh*t during this BS sickens me. I really though that the MAGA and Trump era was just beginning to maybe steady the ship a little. The left absolutely could not have that. The Chicom Virus was a dream come true for the American scum left and a good portion of the right.
