HOW IN THE FUCK ARE THEY CONCERNED ABOUT CRIME? NYPD, seriously go research this, pulled over EVERY BLACK MALE IN NYC. What crime are they talking about?

WAT?

I ain't never rooted for a forced reversal of gentrification this hard EVER. One day I'm going to look up and shit has gotten real to the point of action. Landlords getting kicked out of communities for their tactics and police fired over abuse. Someone has to stop gentrification.

I can't live in NYC because this would piss me off to the point of action. They're trying to force out black people AND have the people currently living there in a police state. However, it's okay because it makes the white citizens feel safe seeing all black people pulled over.
