It's been an entire day since the NYPD kidnapped a homeless trans protestor in an unmarked van. Despite this, not a single councilmember has renounced their vote from last month to continue giving cops billions.

In fact, most have stayed silent. Let's go through them, shall we? https://twitter.com/aaronnarraph/status/1288337872425299968

I'm not saying these tweets themselves are wrong. I'm just asking how councilmembers found time to tweet about these things...and not state violence.

These councilmembers should apologize for their budget votes and immediately move to #DefundTheNYPD.
Also: it's no mistake that most of these councilmembers have taken thousands from law enforcement.

The cops are actively buying off elected officials to shut up when they assault New Yorkers. https://twitter.com/aaronnarraph/status/1278388921051820039?s=20
