To recap:
NYPD arrested 12 people (at least 2 of whom live in homeless shelters & 1 of whom is a 64-year-old woman) over allegedly $1,800 of necessities.
1 misdemeanor arrest costs NYC at least $1750.
So NYPD spent at least $21,000 to arrest poor people over $1,800 of stuff.
BREAKING: The ankle bracelet has been hacked off and I'm heading home! This black claw was both a real and symbolic taking by @Chevron of my freedom and peace of mind for 913 days. Outrageous in the extreme.
Full release coming on April 25. I'm thrilled.
