You know why NY’s ‘recovery’ isn’t happening? This photo today on the E Train at 6:45am at 42nd & 8th says it all. Why should working people & tourists be subjected to this? How’s it fair to those who need services? Imagine the cops’ frustration with no support to deal with it!

A solemn and beautiful site in New York City’s skyline tonight as it glows blue and purple in honor of our cops who gave their lives in the line of duty. The lights of the @EmpireStateBldg are as iconic as the Finest who serve on the streets below. #CopsCountPoliceMatter
