Y’all need to start asking these trolls and wannabe racists if they can provide identification and proof of their citizenship. You’re probably arguing with some undercover agent, or someone in Eastern Europe.
White racists are so afraid of the symbolism of a Black president, they decided to attack everything that’s associated with Black people. Problem is, they are too stupid to realize it hurts white people too.
I have seen the concerning footage of Council Member Chi Ossé’s arrest earlier today and am in touch with Commissioner Tisch about the nature of the arrest.
It is a pleasure to work alongside Council Member Ossé, a leader in his community and a partner in building a safer and more affordable New York City. I am grateful he is out of custody.
Council Member Chi Ossé was just arrested while defending his constituent, Carmella Charrington, from eviction. This is the result of deed theft and the ongoing displacement of Black homeowners in Bed-Stuy. Our office is closely monitoring this situation and will provide updates as this develops.
