The raid of the home of Brianna Suggs, a consultant with close ties to the mayor, came as Mr. Adams canceled a series of meetings in Washington, D.C., on Thursday.

    If anyone is surprised that Mr. Adams, a former cop is somehow corrupt, I’ve got a bridge to sell them.

    I mean, it’s not like he hired his own brother as his head of security right after being elected in no-holds-barred show of nepotism. /s

    All (even former) Cops Are Bastards.

    And here we will see democrats not sell their soul to protect him and let the law play out as that is how the law works.

      You got a lot more faith in these outcomes than I do.

      If there’s one issue Democrats are fucked up on, its cops. They love to let cops get away with shit.

        That’s an interesting take. Where I live Democrats are not the ones driving their huge coal rolling pickups around with thin blue line flags flying off the back. The Democrats are the ones passing measures to enforce police reform.

          Like, this couldn’t say any harder “The national Democratic party learned the wrong lessons from the George Floyd protests.”

          Where I am locally, they tied funding local cops to funding election security and funding for public defenders. So if you care about things like election security or public defenders, but don’t want to fund the cops, you can go fuck yourself, because now voting against funding for cops means you’re voting against election security or poor people having well funded public defenders.

          I live in one of the bluest motherfucking states in the union and I live in the state capitol. This same city was one of many that was happy to let local cops brutalize and tear gas protestors during the George Floyd protests. The all-democrat city council signed off on it.

          Give me a break, they’re fucking limosine liberals, and any time they have to face an unruly citizenry, they piss themselves and call for the cops to protect them from the citizens they keep failing miserably.

        You’re getting down voted because we have a two-party system and anything negative against Democrats puts us at risk.

        But you’re not wrong. The Democrats are still center or center-right, and they’re definitely still pro police and think that increasing police capacity somehow decreases crime. There are a couple notable exceptions, but generally that’s the case.
