    1. @ToxicN1 No he is not in the hospital. Do some research on Johnny Knoxville. Even Trump can see that was just an act.

  1. There are good cops who show respect to the community. If you want to remove corruption then start with the government. There are good and bad in all governments and police. Just like good and bad in the garden of Eden since the beginning of creation. It is written in the Bible.

    1. Yes most of the cops out there are good and they are no different than you and me and our family and friends … good cops need to start turning in the bad ones who are destroying their fraternity .

  2. Time to take the military out of local police departments controlled by city mayors. Hold your mayor accountable. Talk to your mayor and aldermen that you won’t stand for hindering peaceful, free speech, 1st amendment with military grade tactics. They work on your behalf and they want your vote, which is why it’s so important to vote. Also, Police, STOP pushing down elderly people and then lying about it. Cowards!

    1. J R … I’m doing my part I’m looking for a good pro bono lawyer to help me get a class action lawsuit against Google YouTube for stepping on our
      FREEDOM OF SPEECH and Shadow Banning some of us .

    1. I really don’t have time to watch the whole thing as I am way behind schedule but hopefully I will get the gist of it when you or somebody here can tell me a few of the main points if you could take the moment to do so for me and others

    1. DUDE YOUR A MORON , HE IS FOLLOWING THE GUIDE LINE SET FROM THE CDC AND THE WHITE HOUSE THAT MEAN FROM TRUMP GET IT MORON?
      GET YOUR FACT STRAIGHT !!!

  3. Waves After Waves of The Sea Crashing On The Grains Of Sand Year After Years They Call Lawinforcement For Injustices And Several Smaller Cities In America Have Replaced All The Police In Their City Resulted In Up To 50% Reductions In Overall Crimes Just Seeing The Future For What It Is !

  4. Hey Cuomo, why don’t we start with criminal justice reform here in NYS? You can start with legalizing marijuana like you’ve promised the past 2 yrs!!!!

    NYS legislators expect the new cannabis industry to bring $300 million per year in tax revenue when fully rolled out. Which is great news for NY, right? Except that Senator Krueger who has been helping lead the way in cannabis reform has recently (March 12th) revised her bill S1527C to keep similar penalties for marijuana that are in place today. She can be seen speaking at a CannaGather event stating the NYS government spends upwards of $500 million on marijuana enforcement each year! This is a combination of monies spent on policing, prosecutions, and dept of corrections. How is it possible that we are willing to legalize but still spend more on enforcement costs than tax revenue brought in by this new industry, where is the social justice in that? Anyone following the politics of this process of bringing legalized cannabis to NYS has heard all these lawmakers claim “It’s about doing things right” for years now but yet they are willing to submit to the status quo. Whether you are a marijuana user or not does this make sense for our state? I personally don’t see how.

    If NY goes ahead with this legalization plan it will ruin all of the good it can make. I don’t know what the fix/answer is here as these lawmakers know our opinion on marijuana, polls show over 60% support marijuana legalization. This is a very complicated topic and an uncomfortable one for some but I think the people have spoken in both the polls and the simple fact that we won’t let anyone tell us we can’t use marijuana even after decades of war against us. You can keep locking the people/voters/tax payers away but we never let go of our herb, it only becomes more ingrained in our society.

    I come loaded with facts –

    Cost to house inmates in our county jails- County by county (My home county of Suffolk the cost comes in just under $140,000 per yr!)
