    On Mondays, The Majority Report they had a NYC whistleblower police officer who leaked recordings he made of higher ups admitting to quotas which are illegal.

    Many of these abuses happen because unwritten quotas that officers must maintain or they will be disciplined. They must enforce overbearing laws against minority populations to get their quotas and if they enforce them on white populations then they are written up.

      And yet… NOTHING was done.

      Are you fucking angry enough yet?

      Nah, didn’t think so. Same as it ever was, then. 🤷🏼‍♂️

        I got pulled over for 5km over the limit once in Toronto. The cop was brand new and he even told me that he had to get his quota. 25 dollar fine as well as a victim surcharge fee on top.

        I didn’t even bother fighting it, my time was worth more than the court time wasted with that one.

          Look a little deeper next time. Most areas allow for online refutations, and are far cheaper than in-person disputes by court.

          Don’t just roll over. That’s the first step. ✊🏽

      To anyone living in NY the thought of there not being quotas is laughable.

      Like ok Mr.Fuzz tell me again how my seeing cops posted up everywhere trying to catch speeders near the end of every month, but not any other time is somehow not them trying to fulfill their quotas… Better yet tell me how the cop that pulled me over and then lied to the judge about what happened was not about quotas when it also just so happened to be at the end of the month…

      Cops are wealth protectors first and tax collectors second. Nowhere does “serve the public interest” play into the roles they’re given by the masters.

        Also the standard cop defense of not having quotas isn’t hey can write as many tickets as they want. Which explicitly doesn’t deny the existence of a quota.
