Not wanting to normalize hardcore drug use has now become a “right wing” ideology.

How about you be the change we need and join the NYPD, they are hiring. If all of the “policing experts” from Reddit joined the NYPD we would have a perfect police department!

You’re the one who excused it. The OP never said it was the only crime, or the most important crime, they just pointed out that it’s ridiculous and should be enforced and then you snarkily called them a “pearl clutcher”. But okay.

Smoking a blunt (or anything) in an enclosed train car or platform is an extremely selfish douchebag move. No amount of virtue signaling will change that.

Yea, why have a functioning civilized society, it’s not like we pay some of the highest taxes in the country or anything.

Probably better on the streets then on a platform where someone can be shoved into an oncoming train, or in an enclosed train car.

Ideally he’d been placed on a psych hold, but if directed at some one, definitely menacing. It’s also against the MTAs code of conduct to act aggressively so removal from the system at the very least.

It’s funds specifically from the state, the governor could petition Washington to provide more funds if necessary. This isn’t part of the NYPDs budget.

What about the man mumbling to himself that hes “going to fucking kill everyone”.

A “victimless crime”

Correct, but that’s the progressives take on essentially every crime outside of murder.

A “victimless crime”

Yea, that doesn’t happen.

You also get like immediate jail time if they find any amount of drugs on you, it’s not comparable at all.

I’m glad you agree, but I promise the rest of the mob that want to abolish crime posts on this sub don’t.

In all seriousness, this is an article about a specific initiative that the governor/mayor just started, hardly “fear mongering”, and definitely warrants discussion.

We should also not allow posts that immediately demonize the NYPD without due investigation right? That’s preemptively spreading a false narrative as well, right?

Edit: And the downvotes just prove the hipocracy of the “abolish crime posts” crowd

Yea, my point was their drug laws are extremely strict. People love to act like we live in a tyrannical country when other first world countries don’t put up with a fraction of what we do.

If you don’t like stepping on needles you MUST be “not from here”. /s

If you’re single, bored and have nothing tying you down to wherever you are now, do it for sure.

*and can swing it financially.

See the post below about Hochul not paying tolls/speed camera tickets. Or Hochul giving the billionaire owner of the Buffalo Bills millions of Taxpayer dollars. It’s across the board.

You clearly don’t know how Medicaid and emergency Medicaid works and how easy it is to get with no taxable income, regardless of immigration status, It’s fine. I shared that link because you stated that asylum seekers weren’t receiving free medical care which was false.

This is true! It’s fucked tho.

Yes, the certain groups are people with no taxable income…

It gets written off by the hospital. Do you think it’s fair that someone can exploit our immigration system, get seen in An emergency department and pay nothing, when a tax pay citizen can lose their job, have a medical emergency and be stuck with thousands of dollars in medical bills?
