There is literally a police station at the Hoyt–Schermerhorn stop!
Police DO NOT keep us safe. They are reactionary, at best.
Unfortunately, I fear that both executives will use this as yet another excuse for more cops on trains 🤦🏾♂️
Police say a man was fatally shot inside the Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway station in Brooklyn

Having attended the University at Albany and still having family and close friends that live in your city, I experienced and have noticed that Black and Brown events are often handled differently by the Albany Police Department.

Please STOP calling the police when folks are in crisis.
They will NOT help you and they will likely kill your loved one.
Rest in peace

During MLK weekend, an Afro-Latina leader was KICKED OUT OF A CHURCH for voicing her opinion?!
Nah, y’all lost me…
#NoOnLaSalle
@GovKathyHochul
showed up to Sunset Park and not only used MLK legacy but also Sunset park community as pawns to push her conservative judge. And the worst part was she brought police with her and kicked out a respected, afro-latina leader who belongs to the church.

The “reasonable person standard” continues to miss the mark with police stops! Most folks “volunteer” information or to be searched because of fear.
Beatty’s dissent in State v Spears (2019) got it right! Race needs to be considered.
