The moral decline of our society began with contempt for the law and norms of civilized behavior.

Police are still arresting people, they just get out 2 hours later ROR.

sigh typical gentrifier. In my work as a community hip hop violence interruptor we find the concept of "rules" and "laws" as fundamentally a symptom of whiteness (oppression) and therefore problematic. This is a well established premise.
Calling for police action/enforcement under virtually all scenarios is deeply troubling. When you call for police enforcement of these racist and arbitrary prohibitions... what you are really doing... really what you are literally doing is holding racism's dick while he pees on your face and chuckles. That's what you do when you support fascism.
First, you must accept that this is Brooklyn, and we run red lights. I know in your cozy world of white heteronormativity "traffic safety", "respectful behavior" and being "considerate to others" are things the patriarchy has brainwashed you into valuing. But it's quite clear these are abstractions invented as tools of oppression. And let's call it what it is that's some white people shit. Straight up. I just pissed in my building's elevator WHILE MAKING EYE CONTACT WITH A LITTLE ABUELA. This is the jungle, square. Get fucking used to it. Marcy Projects representin'! Anyways.
Before we call for enforcement we must be cognizant of why these individuals are running the red light. In my doctoral thesis "Examining the 5 Stages of Hustlin: a Hip Hop Anthology'" I learned that many gang affiliated individuals of color, especially Crips, may find red lights triggering due to its association with their rival gang the Bloods. Their behavior could be explained and therefore excused by their previous trauma. These are all incredibly important considerations when we are evaluating policies.

This is so crazy. We let the criminals run rampant but lock this dude up for a building code violation? I'll bet some progressive judges salivate at the chance to lock up a rich white guy.

Employers will find a way to screen out unqualified candidates regardless of whatever rules they pass.

I manage a few contracts with NYCHA so im there 3-4 days a week for the past several years. Ive visited thousands of apartmentd. It's such a depressing mess. The people are in a spiritual and moral crisis. It seems more dangerous and chaotic with each passing day. Piss and trash everywhere. Broken doors, lead paint, children not going to school. Half of the residents have stopped paying rent because they realized NYCHA won't do anything. It's such a mess. I started doing this work cuz I wanted to make a difference but I've realized NYCHA is a colossal failure.

Progressives don't take antisemitism seriously since most of these attacks are committed by other marginalized groups. If angry white guys were beating up 44 Jewish people a month, I'm sure they'd care a lot more.

This divisive, racialized view of EVERY issue is incredibly unhelpful. Thinking about problems in terms of competing ethic tribes never solved anything.

Generalizing an entire group based on the behavior of a few individuals is "problematic", don't you think? But I guess it's ok in your moral framework when it's directed towards police.
