Did You Want Justin Brannan to Vote to Abolish Immunity for Police Officers?
NYC Council abolished qualified immunity for police officers on March 25th. Councilman Justin Brannan voted in favor of this. There were three other bills for police reform, but this bill went too far. (Info about the four NYC Council bills here)
NYC is the first city in the US to do this. (See here)
I waited to write about it because I wanted to see how Councilman Brannan would explain his vote.
As usual, Brannan said nothing about the vote – as if it didn’t happen or he didn’t want people to know how he voted. He’s writes on social media all day long and he didn’t think this was important enough to discuss.
If this was a good bill, then we would see every council member discussing it with their constituents.
This law puts police officers at risk of being sued financially. In situations like George Floyd or Eric Gardner, we saw where this would be needed. But ultimately this is going to bring a lot of lawsuits against police officers because many people don’t believe there should be any law enforcement. This puts police officer’s family savings at risk.
We want police officers to act correctly to the community, but we also don’t want their families to be hurt by frivolous lawsuits either.
I imagine that insurance companies will soon offer policies to cover police officers from lawsuits (the same way doctors are covered).
Nicole Malliotakis spoke out against the bill and defended the police.
Currently, if a police officer acts outside of department guidelines and found to commit wrongdoing, they can lose their indemnification. This misguided law will make them personally liable in any frivolous lawsuit. This is another step toward dismantling out police department. https://t.co/9x7ZHlcnlK

I agree that this bill will also deter some people from becoming police officers.

Has the 68th Precinct Shut Down the Bay Ridge Racetrack?
Drag racing has existed in Bay Ridge for a long time. Last Summer and early Fall it was the worst.
It has been a bit quieter lately. Has the NYC Highway Police and 68th Street Precinct closed the racetrack?

Brian Fox – Who Is He? Why Is He Running to Become Bay Ridge’s Councilman?
Brian Fox was interviewed by the Brooklyn Paper. (See here)
– He’s a resident of Bay Ridge for many years
– He’s a local business owner in Bay Ridge
– He’s not a professional politician (This is a great thing!)
Fox didn’t find NYC Council’s response to the pandemic acceptable. Brannan failed to address the theft, vandalism, graffiti and general crime in the area.
Fox supports the NYPD and local businesses.
Surprising:
Fox said he would make the community more accessible to the disabled and elderly. That’s a good thing.
Funny:
Fox to the Brooklyn Paper: “The current councilman spends too much time on social media and getting into arguments with constituents on twitter.” That’s the #Truth
Fox says he won’t be on social media that much but you will see less crime, trash and potholes.

What Happened to the Bay Ridge Socialists?
The Brooklyn Paper announced that both Justin Brannan and Brian Fox will not face a primary this year. (See here)
Only two candidates files to run for Community District 43 (See here)
The Bay Ridge Socialists vowed to run someone against Brannan last Spring. (See here)
Remembeer when Brannan said he wasn’t in his office, but there was a pizza delivery to his office while the socialists were protesting outside? He played that group of people, and they seemed pretty annoyed, so I am suprised they didn’t bring a challenger.
What happened to the socialists? Maybe they moved away due to the pandemic!

Why Are Brannan and Gounardes Delayed on Responding to Hate Towards Groups of People?
Senator Gounardes said that something happened a week and a half ago at the location where he and Brannan gathered yesterday. The audio isn’t clear on the video. (See here)
Late yesterday, this graphic appeared on Facebook:
It’s good they are finally speaking out, but why did they wait so long?
Councilman Brannan could have put an article in the newspaper about this hate that residents, like Maureen and Vanessa experienced. Instead, Justin Brannan answered questions about himself, so he can get an article in The Brooklyn Paper today. His election isn’t until November, so there was no reason for him to do that now.
On Channel 1 News, the two women told their own story because neither politician did.
Maureen Ki was spit on outside of her senior center on 18th Avenue and 73rd Street.
In a separate incident, sixteen year old, Vanessa Lam was also spit on and then pushed into the street on 18th Avenue and 68th Street. Gounardes and Brannan should have shared this!
Why didn’t Councilman Brannan have this speak-out event on Saturday or Sunday so more people could be there for these women? Why did Gounardes and Brannan wait until late yesterday to tell the community about today’s event?
In the Summer, there was hate spoken in Bay Ridge. Brannan took over a week to respond to it. Gounardes never responded or commented on it. (See here)
The hate that people in our community are experiencing is awful, but it’s been allowed to go unchecked by politicians and the media for a long time.
In Bay Ridge, some families have been targets of hate at the playground this weekend!

Spectrum Strike Has Been Going on 4 Years Now
Spectrum workers have been on strike for four years now.
Only a few people mentioned Spectrum’s Strike – we should have seen NYC Council speak out about it.
When you see politicians like Justin Brannan (See here) cross the picket line and appear on Channel 1 News, you know those politicians don’t support unions (or maybe they just support unions who donate to their campaign).
