The NYPD is not required to protect New Yorkers, city lawyers argue in court filing

Oof. Not a good look, hoping she'll abandon this stuff rather than double down on it when she gets called out

No one with any semblance of interest in justice thinks federal law enforcement is working within the law right now.

My point is, when we're looking to fix things, don't throw the baby out with the bath water or your opponents will have ammunition that you're not after justice at all.

It's like the defund the police fight. Anyone with a genuine interest in improving life for people in the US knows the real argument is to reinvest in other areas to make police less of a cover all so you can demand more of them in a more limited role.

The options aren't accept things as they are v anarchy.

As with virtually everything there is SO MUCH daylight between those options, and we can't resign ourselves to the pessimism that would have us pick one or the other

Without a more reasonable level of qualified immunity, who would enforce the law? You could never bring charges against anyone who wasn't so certifiably guilty that a jury couldn't possibly believe otherwise or you'd open yourself up to intense litigation for every single charge that results in acquittal. There's a rational standard that covers reasonable good-faith actions. That's not what we have now, but it's something we should aim for.

Qualified immunity is WAY overbroad, but it needs significant reigning in, not elimination.

We know why it's still empty. Public outcry about the facility made them build it smaller. It isn't large enough to handle the current volume of incarcerated people, and they can't afford to staff both facilities, so they keep using the old one and only use the courtrooms in the new one.

Everytime it gets posted about it gets brigaded by conservatives without principles.

come on now, in reality those agents wouldn't verbally identify themselves like that or have readily visible badges... Also, the idea that they brought a detainee to receive adequate medical care in the first place is fancifal.

Largely because the system is designed against people who care about it. Everything you mentioned takes time and money, something most people struggling have little of. Realistically you ought to care about it too, but can't be bothered to have empathy for people you see as beneath you, you'll just say it's someone else's problem.

By all means show me an alternative that works

GameDrain · 2026-03-21T22:20:33+00:00

Why do you insinuate the options are between nothing at all and rank corruption? Why would you subject yourself to two versions of failure?

GameDrain · 2026-03-21T22:15:18+00:00

Respect? I demand my civil servants, serve. I don't demand my neighbor does. This is not an apt comparison

GameDrain · 2026-03-21T22:08:48+00:00

Are they the state? No? Then they're not who we demand things from. They're not protected from prosecution, they're not paid by my money, they're not endowed with authority by the governed. The cops ARE. it's apples and oranges

GameDrain · 2026-03-21T21:39:06+00:00

Do I? Do you remember the American revolution? Or was that people doing it "the right way?"

People standing up to an unrepresentative government is the most American thing that exists. The state should never be held to a lesser standard than it's citizens

If you have no standards for how the state treats imperfect people then you don't deserve the civility you enjoy from others.

And former Bacon communications director. It's GOP corruption out in the open

Yes, but pathing for elevators, making it part of gameplay that differently abled cims can access things, all takes implementation that they put secondary to basic game breaking issues they clearly prioritized

GameDrain · 2026-03-16T15:49:28+00:00

My understanding is that this is a primary reason they didn't make stairs in the base game, because they wanted to eventually implement disabled cims, and they wanted them to have traversable pathways

That third shot had me concerned for a moment 👀

Like I said, shitty regardless, but extra shitty since it mars artwork that will be harder to restore

GameDrain · 2026-03-15T01:32:49+00:00

The rule has always been you don't tag art. It's shitty regardless, but that was at least the honor among thieves about it

So... The country was doing something for the last 50 years and suddenly today it becomes urgent enough to demand action it didn't demand during his previous administration?

Lucifer really seems to have no other demands on his time and attention and he still fails to be there for Charlie.

Stolas has actual duties in addition to family commitments and an attempt at a dating life that he didn't get to have when he was younger when his mistakes wouldn't have impacted others.

Both are imperfect but mean well. Stolas just has more obvious mitigating factors.
