Advocacy groups have accused the NYPD's social distancing enforcement of being unfair and racist, as about 90% of the people arrested in encounters related to it have been black or Hispanic.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced today that the NYPD will no longer require people to wear masks in public, unless the absence of a mask presents a"serious danger." He's seen here on March 31.New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced today that the NYPD will no longer require people to wear masks in public, unless the absence of a mask presents a"serious danger." He's seen here on March 31.
Advocacy groups have complained that the NYPD's social distancing enforcement has been unfair and even racist, because about ninety percent of the people arrested in encounters related to social distancing enforcement have been black or Hispanic."The NYPD shouldn't be thrown at this particular pandemic — at this health problem," says David Galarza, a volunteer with a police watchdog group called the Justice Committee.
"That is my decision, that's what we are doing," he said."Because we cannot have a situation where social distancing comes unglued because there's no enforcement." The Port of Seattle has put Anderson on paid administrative leave while it investigates him for violating its social media policy. The Houston police department says it never issued any fines and made no arrests related to masks, and Chief Art Acevedo accused the governor of"hypocrisy," saying Abbott was trying to score political points with his conservative base at the expense of the police.
"Clearly, the public is not united on what should be done in the community to keep people safe from the virus," she says."And so the cops really do get trapped in the middle."
