I blame the department and let me tell you why. They praise rookie officers. They’ll go around making a 100 arrests a month, and they’ll praise them. These rookie officers will do anything to get an arrest because they want more praise, you know what I’m saying? This is the result of it. They arrested Gray for some…

The costume porn in this is going to be crazy.

That tip is the real crime!

Criminal kills two cops, cops respond by allowing criminals to run free. Nice incentive for would be cop killers.

I smell a road trip coming!

I have to wonder what this will do to the rates of police brutality and framing people in drug busts? Hopefully those will drop at a similar precipitous rate?

This is actually a beautiful scenario, and here is why:

My personal hypothesis regarding the enforcement of low level moving violations, and low level arrests, is that they don't have any tangible benefit on society.

This just shows how revenue based most of these tickets and summonses are.

The Mayor plans to meet with the unions today to mend fences, so the fun might not last too long

I was in NYC last week visiting my parents. My mom left me her car for the day, but forgot to move it because it was a street cleaning day. I looked out the window and realized the car was outside, and it was 30 minutes past street cleaning already. Normally, you'll get a ticket as soon as that first minute hits...but…

In the same time span, tickets for parking violations are also down 92%, according to the Post. Also, New York City is apparently awesome now as arrests for public drinking and urination are also down 94%.

Personally, I'm sick and tired of white people not speaking up when there's racist BS happening. I wish more WOULD speak up when there's injustice happening. When the goal is so important, I for one am not about to run off allies just because some (or a lot) don't get how to do it well. Telling them to go look up…

I appreciate this article but I think you are confusing "good white people" with narcissists. Narcissists come in all colors and are in constant need of validation for their actions.

Desmond Tutu said, "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." Martin Niemöller said, "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a Trade…

Thank you for this article. I have to say,there may be another reason "good white people" are talking about this (and I am white)- they are shocked to see individuals who they thought of as more evolved making some of the craziest f-ing comments, making jokes (worst was a picture of Black Friday in Ferguson) talking…

I'm a Black woman and I really don't get the criticism of #CrimingWhileWhite. You write: "Look at me, the hashtag screams, I know that I am privileged. I am a good white person. Join me and remind others that you are a good white person too."

This is not the intention of the hashtag. The purpose of the hashtag is…

Great article.

I guess I look at things from a political perspective always, and I just think right now, It would be a good idea to have some of those good white people in our corner. Don't get me wrong, I understand where this article is coming from. But, in a world where being a good, decent human being is kind of a semi-rare…

This is a sad story - I'm sorry you go through this. :(
