The New York Police Department will no longer arrest “most” people caught drinking in public in Manhattan, but they can still get summons. Unless it’s necessary for “safety” reasons, it was announced today that the NYPD will no longer arrest people for certain lower-level offenses, some of which include public consumption of alcohol, public urination, littering and riding between subway cars or taking up more than one subway seat. Careful, that last one’s the worst of them all.
Offenders who receive summons will be fined instead having a mark on their criminal records. According to the Mayor, this is an initiative meant to free up police officers to go after more “violent” crime in New York City. He claims it’s a modern solution that will make sure resources are focused on more prioritized issues.
What type of issues would those be? Could this be the beginning of police officers being phased out? After all, they’re not exactly the most popular people in New York City. You can thank the BLM movement for that.

Liberal Amerika.
Actually$#%&!@*hat……the law was passed because the black animals bitched about being arrested for street pissing….it’s to cater to the blacks.

NYC always been a cesspool it’s just getting worse
Why would the people want pissing in the streets which is more of a threat to health p**s or a big gulp ?
crime only grows when we ignore the “minor” crimes.
stop the racist garbage.
Is this more media stupidity
Kirk Lazaris, your statement is false. This was brought up by a liberal counsel member as a way to keep minorities from interacting with law enforcement. There were many news stories on this in January.
