Whenever I post anything about the cops, my replies are constantly filled with people who are like "NOT ALL COPS." So l tried to put together a cogent analogy to help them understand why it IS ALL COPS. 🧵/x

career public defender • find me creating content on literally every other platform because this one sucks ⬇️
- Lori Laughlin was just sentenced to 2 months in jail. Earlier this year, the Manhattan DA recommended one year jail for a man who stole cough syrup and toothpaste from a Duane Reade. There are two systems of justice in this county and this is yet another example.
- Kyle Rittenhouse, accused of murder, has been released on $2M cash bail. As a public defender, I represented teenagers unable to post $500-$5000 cash bail for things like theft or drug sale. Money bail doesn’t make us safer. It just rewards the wealthy and well-connected.
- A friendly reminder from your future Manhattan DA: Presidents can’t pardon themselves for New York State crimes.
- Roger Stone was just sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in prison. A man I represented is currently serving a sentence of 3-6 years in prison for stealing a jacket.
- Riley Williams, accused of stealing Pelosi's laptop, was given permission to leave house arrest to attend a Renaissance fair. As a public defender, I represented a teenager who wasn't given permission to leave jail to go to his dad's funeral. Two. Systems. Of. Justice.
- As a public defender, I couldn't even use the same bathroom as jurors during a trial.
- This is serious. Happened today in Manhattan. As a public defender for over a decade, I have tried cases where the Manhattan DA uses a "hysterical 911 call" as categorical evidence of guilt. Usually there's no video like this to refute it. (1/4)
- Capitol riot suspect Eric Munchel, dubbed "zip tie guy," to be released from jail pending trial. As a public defender, I represented a client charged with stealing detergent. Held in on $3000 bail he could not afford. Two. Systems. Of. Justice.
- Just so we’re clear, this is a crime.Police officer in Brooklyn uses a loudspeaker to say "Trump 2020" while on the job
00:00 - Piece of advice from your friendly public defender: do not get in this truck. Period.Behold the NYPDs brand new Game Truck, coming soon to a block near you. Bunch of video game consoles inside.
- Riley June Williams is accused of stealing Pelosi's laptop in the US Capitol attack to sell to Russia and was released from custody. As a public defender, I represented a man held in on bail for stealing cough syrup and toothpaste from Duane Reade. Two. Systems. Of. Justice.
- PSA: @mcuban’s new online pharmacy is selling birth control and other life-saving meds at extreme discounts. Stock up now. Spread the word.
