@NewYorkStateAG This is beneath the office of the Attorney General. Regardless of one's feelings on Trump or on the verdict, this is awful optics, and it shouldn't be tolerated. Shame on you.

Wrote a ticket a couple months ago for someone going 80 mph in a 35. A couple days I hear it's getting pleaded down to a loud muffler. As if I didn't plead it down on the scene by not arresting him for reckless operation and towing the vehicle. Smh.

Between 2015-2018, 948 black people and 1,880 white people were killed by police (WaPo). In an analysis of USA Today front-page stories during the same years, they had 82 stories of police shootings. They mentioned 57 black people and 1 white person. Which profession is biased?
