subway policing

"This is for the black and brown and indigenous people who are being criminalized in the subways as part of a program of gentrification, cleansing this city of the riffraff."

The actions are all ramping up to a "J31" protest at Grand Central, the third since Cuomo announced the hiring of 500 new MTA police officers.

Cuomo told reporters: 'I feel a tension in the NYPD relationship with the community that they serve that I think is probably as bad as anything I've seen in my lifetime.'

The governor's appointees to the board unanimously backed the highly contentious agreement, which will expand the MTA police force by 64 percent at a cost of $249 million over four years.

AOC, Jerry Nadler, and Jose Serrano were among the high-profile lawmakers to sign a letter calling on Cuomo to reconsider.

O’Neill insisted that while there is a “balance” to policing the subway system, it’s “a very different environment than being on the street.”

“People are being thrown on the floor, wrongfully arrested, homeless people are being thrown out of the subway when it’s freezing cold outside. It’s very wrong.”

'This conduct is dehumanizing and traumatizing for a person who has obviously already endured too much trauma in her life.'

On Thursday night, the rogue subway therapist received his first ever ticket for his sticky note project.

The NYPD's Chief of Transit "has a heart," according to one community leader.
