This Black, Queer man should be here today, dancing, performing and living his dreams. Instead, his parents and loved ones are mourning and in anguish over the lack of accountability in his death. These charges must stand! #FireThompsonAndDavis

OUTRAGEOUS. On the 4 yr anniversary of #KawaskiTrawick’s murder, NYPD wants to drop charges for illegal entry, when it is clear from body camera footage officers Thompson & Davis broke chain and entered Kawaski’s home. @NYCMayor @NYPDPC charges must stand! #FireThompsonandDavis

Hell no! The NYPD doesn't get to decide which laws apply to them. Trespass is a crime! #FireThompsonAndDavis they broke into #KawaskiTrawick's home and killed him in 112 seconds. The man was just cooking at home alone. @NYCMayor @NYPDPC

50 elected officials agree:
“We are concerned that this may reflect what seems to be an on-going pattern under the current administration to downgrade discipline for serious officer misconduct and weaken the NYPD disciplinary process.”

Families of NYers killed by the police are calling on @NYCSpeakerCoJo and the @NYCCouncil to vote NO on the FY22 NYC budget because it expands the NYPD's already bloated budget. Read their letter to the Council here. Pls RT. #DefundNYPD #NYCBudgetJustice justicecommittee.org/post/fa…

3 reasons why NYPD should not respond to mental health emergencies based on video below
1. Police escalate/initiate mental health emergencies (3:47)
2. The person in crisis was disarmed by a civilian (4:21)
3. NYPD shot an unarmed person (5:16)

BREAKING: Today a judge rejected police unions' attempt to rollback #Repeal50a the policy secrecy law. She denied their injunction with limited exceptions. 50a was repeal by the NYS legislator in June 2020, making police misconduct records available to the public.

Governor Cuomo chose to only invite 2 high profile families to the signing of his mostly crap package of police reform bills for his photo op. And refused to invite 20 families & groups that actually fought, wrote, negotiated #Repeal50a #SpecialProsecutor #PoliceStatAct

Despite his comments at @NYGovCuomo presser today, we want to be very clear @TheRevAl/@NationalAction does not represent Justice Committee EVER, and they were not part of the leadership of the campaigns to #Repeal50a, #SpecialProsecutor, and the #PoliceStatAct.

Youth don't need the NYPD, prosecutors, and probation officers deciding how to handle them.
The solution is resources - jobs, housing, education...

NYS' largest police union spent $127k in 5 days to make sure lying cops are not held accountable.
TODAY you can vote YES on 2- or you can NOT vote, let police unions win & continue to complain about cops policing themselves.
If you can't vote, help spread the word: #YesOn2

Thurs 10/17, @NYSenate is holding first of 2 hearings on "50-a" an outdated NYS law that hides police violence & lack of police discipline from public view.
50a is a police secrecy law that endangers NYers & it needs to be repealed.
Tmrw 10/16, 1pm: #Repeal50a rally, City Hall

Far too many NYPD cops can care less if we live or die.
Reminds us of Lt. Bannon texting its "not a big deal" when told #EricGarner may be dead on arrival.
We need safety structures that don't rely on this violent, controlling, profit driven policing.

You will not pit our movements against each other as if we don’t need ALL the justice. “This is not a conversation about what is politically feasible. This about OUR LIVES!,” says @Kassandra_Fred of @DPA_NY #MarijuanaJustice #SaferNYAct #HALTSolitary #repeal50a

The killing of people with mental illness by law enforcement in the U.S. is barbaric at best. People with mental illness are not disposable.
Police are NOT the Solution. Abolish NYPD as first responders!

Clearly @NYCMayor respects abusive cops more than the NY public & fams who've lost loved ones to the police: He's still pushing forward with an appeal of the #MohamedBah civil suit verdict, which was the decision of NY jurors. One 11/2, call to tell him to #DropTheAppeal!

This was a young person, only 23 yo. Please everyone, be skeptical abt the initial NYPD account & demand an independent/transparent/speedy investigation.
Case after case, initial NYPD accounts too often full of lies #EricGarner #RamarleyGraham #DelrawnSmall cc @NewYorkStateAG
