As of 30 minutes ago at the time of posting, the NYPD has detained two young Black men after they refused their demands to show ID without explanation or cause. (files.catbox.moe)

The NYPD is skulking through the L train demanding IDs from Black and Latino men, again with zero justified cause or explanation as to why.

For example, I know someone on lemmy who was viewing this sublemmy, didn't do anything, got banned, and was so upset he actually died.

I smell BS.

  1. Didn't do anything, but got banned? Possible, but improbable.

  2. Got so upset by a ban on Lemmy that the person died? So close to impossible that I would call it impossible.
