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.

Well played by these two bros.

Making them waste time and resources with nothing to show for it, plus standing up for those who can't. Respect.

This is it honestly. When people slow down police/ICE, it creates a distraction.

When they're arresting grandmas and choking old people, causing a scene changes their focus and lets those people leave unharmed.
