Traffic cop sues city for get-out-of-jail-free cards for NYPD friends and family
We all know the whole system is corrupt as hell but I hope this guy ends up not being ground to dust and that this helps temper some of carte blanche privilege of this magic card that has no legitimate reason to exist beyond "some animals are more equal than others."I wish they didn't try to shoehorn a racial element into this since it sounds idiotic. "More people with cards tend to be white and therefore the cards are racist" is such a weak take - there are more white people than minorities, for one. And of course there is structural racism that leads to more white people being in a position of power such that more white people are handed these cards but... you can't yell racism about every byproduct of structural racism with removing causality and intent from racism, which makes it completely illogical.
