The New York City Council is facing criticism and support over the #HowManyStopsAct, a proposed law aimed at increasing transparency in policing. Samy Feliz, whose brother Allen was killed by NYPD, has voiced his support for the act, citing the dangers of 'low-level' stops and expressing fear for his own safety. The act is a response to statistics revealing that 97% of stops made by the mayor's new NYPD unit targeted Black and Latino New Yorkers, who constitute less than half of the city's population. Opponents urge @NYCSpeakerAdams not to override the veto on #Int586, fearing it will make streets more dangerous and reduce police effectiveness.
Gee thanks @NYCCouncil “progressive” caucus and @NYCSpeakerAdams. Just what NYC needs. Another useless, expensive, ineffective and misguided law that will make our streets more dangerous and cripple public safety. The voting public has made it clear we want no part of your…
Taking cops away from patrolling the streets, responding to 911 calls and solving crimes will undoubtedly endanger more Blacks and Latinos because they are 95% of the victims. Face the facts and protect all New Yorkers. Don’t override the veto #Int586. @NYCSpeakerAdams https://t.co/2yesFq7T2m
Imagine that! Police and CA Highway Patrol would *not* be exempt from speed limiters law. Scott Wiener yet again comes up with an unworkable, irresponsible, and probably unlawful (federally) proposal. Garbage legislation from a trashy local legislator. @Scott_Wiener https://t.co/AMtMj9dd8h
97% of the stops made by the mayor’s new NYPD unit were of Black and Latino New Yorkers, despite the fact that they make up less than half of NYC’s population. The #HowManyStopsAct will provide the transparency needed to protect New Yorkers and improve public safety. https://t.co/NdHag9FP5B
