Woman, 41, dies in custody at Rikers Island after medical emergency https://t.co/PwUk8ZuBeH The woman, Rajpattie Ramkellawan, is the the 66th fatality on Rikers since Jan, 2021. The jail is not a detention facility for presumed innocent NYers. It's a death trap for humans & must be closed NOW!

These cops were aggressive & abusive in beating up an innocent man. Modified duty is insufficient. The mayor &/or the NYPD should fire the fuckers -- that's the way to send a message to cops & the community that our city will no longer tolerate police misconduct & abuses.
PROP court monitoring today in Manhattan: 9 of 10 cases, 90%, NYers of color; charges: disorderly conduct, petty larceny, assault 3 (a misdemeanor), contempt; 10 of 10 defendants, 100%, left court.

Every one of the 64 deaths in NYC jails on Rikers under @CorrectionNYC is a tragedy. Most are preventable.
@NYCMayor appointed a new @DOCCommish who chose a new First Deputy Commissioner. They report to a Nunez monitor & a Remediation Manager.
Change is going to take years.
Rikers detainee, 49, dies in custody, marking second city jails death in four days https://t.co/T5kHzySMaC Another NYer, John Price, died today on Rikers Island, the second in 4 days & the 65th since January, 2021--a staggering toll of needless deaths courtesy of our city's jails. #CloseRikers Today!
Another NYer, Barry Cozart, died on Rikers Island on Thursday, the 64th death in that doomsday facility since Jan, 2021. Shameless & shameful. Mamdani must not only decry conditions there, but issue a clearly worked out & very specific plan to end the misery & #CloseRikers!
"It is claimed" ?!? It's not just "claimed" when the clip shows undeniable proof. The cop brutalized a defenseless woman & should be fired immediately & prohibited from becoming a cop anywhere else. If history's any guide, however, he'll get at most a slap on the wrist. A failed system at work.
