NYPD Has a Plan to Magically Turn Anyone It Wants Into a Felon

NYPD Has a Plan to Magically Turn Anyone It Wants Into a Felon 
This is a great idea that will not be abused in any way. It's already a bogus enough charge that DAs routinely dismiss, so let's make it a felony. "Chaumtoli Huq, former general counsel to NYC Public Advocate Letitia James, who was charged with resisting arrest for waiting for her family outside the Times Square Ruby Tuesday's. Jahmil-El Cuffee, who was charged with resisting arrest after he found himself on the receiving end of a head-stomp from a barbarous cop because he was allegedly rolling a joint. ("Stop resisting!" cops screamed at him as he lay helpless, pinned under a pile of officers.) Denise Stewart, who was charged with resisting arrest after a gang of New York's Finest threw her half-naked from her own apartment into the lobby of her building. (They had the wrong apartment, it turned out.) Santiago Hernandez, who was charged with resisting arrest after a group of cops beat the shit out of him following a stop-and-frisk. "One kicks me, he steps back. Another one comes to punch me and he steps back...They were taking turns on me like a gang," Hernandez told reporters. Eric Garner, who no doubt would have been charged with resisting had the chokehold from Daniel Pantaleo not ended his life first."
