I see people jumping the turnstiles all the time. They are all black.
It’s not a pander. It’s racism.
I live on Staten Island but I’m guessing at best only a few more years.
Everybody wave goodbye to NYC..she’s leaving for good...
There’s not the votes needed to put a Rudy over the top anymore.
The paesani on Staten Island and the Orthodox in Brooklyn combined with enough sane people in other areas won’t be enough this time to take over the massive L and D numbers.

Although most African Americans-—as the ones of FR-—are fine people, there is a segment that has a chip on their shoulder thinking white people are out to discriminate against them with “driving while black” and other methods.
Such people are prejudiced (pre-judging) the police and the average person, just as was done in a widespread manner against black people in the days of the Dixiecrat Dems, KKK (mostly Dems) and biased police. Those days do not have to be perpetuated today by continuing suspicion.
If a car in the distance is speeding and weaving in the lanes and an officer sees that, when he comes up to the driver’s side window is he supposed to say “Oh, gosh, I’m sorry, sir,I didn’t see you were black” and let them go?
For drug deals, gang members making a transfer of stolen guns, robberies and other crimes is the officer supposed to drop the whole thing when he remembers that statistically too many persons of color have already been stopped in this neighborhood this month? Just walk past the crime and ignore it? Maybe give up patrolling completely?
Now police are the ones under suspicion before they do anything wrong.
This smacks of the same argument we hear that there are a disproportionately high number of blacks in prisons. Well, the elephant in the room is that blacks commit proportionately more crimes than whites. A long time ago there was a TV debate between Orin Hatch (pro-gun) and Jesse Jackson (anti-gun). Jesse was giving the usually argument that blacks are killed with guns more than whites. Orin looked at Jesse and said: "If you remove murders by blacks between the age of 17 and 30 from the US statistics, the US would have a lower murder rate than Switzerland." Jesse's response: crickets.
How does one scream "bias" when the statistics prove the statement true?
Blacks are 13% of the US population but commit 51% of the murders, which means they should be 51% of the people on death row, but they aren’t because of racism against murderers who aren’t black.

My dad was an NYC cop in the 1960s and 1970s, back then it was tough but today I can’t even imagine the absolute hell. One of my friends says he knows a guy who quit after only 2 years on the force, said it was the worst job he ever had. I can only imagine being the leftist hell it is today.
Where is Tom Selleck when you need him?
She knows damn well that it’s minorities who are riding without paying.
So if non-payers are arrested, minorities will be arrested. Duh.
Get the minorities to pay, and you won’t have this problem.
More likely: some lefty will propose free rides for minorities. May as well. They get everything else free.
