WATCH: The routine casualness of undercover NYPD officers as they stop, approach, & frisk a young black man w/ zero justification. In full violation of constitution. They know they’re on camera. This is why people feel imprisoned in their own communities.pic.twitter.com/bEUQxU6TPx

I just want to remind ppl that the NYPD runs undercover entrapment operations like "lucky bag" or like today .. selling phones they own to bodegas to then entrap them for alleged Crim possession of stolen property later. We need to start divesting – they have time to creat crime

And let’s not forget the NYPD undercover operations that start right around Christmas time to entrap people into buying iPads and charging them with possessing “stolen property.” Your tax dollars hard at work. https://t.co/WIyKC1hrwd

For years, NYPD denied illegally saving kids’ fingerprints. Now it vows to destroy the data. https://t.co/lXxTso5xbJ

For those keeping track, a running list of how NYPD and @NYCMayor are using our city's resources in our subways:
-Surveilling homeless New Yorkers
-Policing turnstile jumpers
-Handcuffing churro vendors https://t.co/BcTblVOEaZ— NYCLU (@NYCLU) November 12, 2019

Statement from Anthony Beckford:
"Broken Windows policing is another racist tactic of the NYPD that must be stopped. Black, Brown and Poor people are targeted daily. This is an example of the gang culture of the NYPD that must be brought to heel."#ItsOurTime pic.twitter.com/OcZgaKrKgo
