Speaking of BdB a good question to ask the mayoral candidates would be "what would you do if the NYPD kidnaped your child and made barely-veiled threats about him or her"

@aangstwinkletoes This dude in a black truck thought it’d be funny to harass a peaceful protest — kept blowing diesel smoke at us every time he passed. Then he lost control and nearly slammed into someone just waiting at a red light 😳 They reversed just in time. Cops pulled up and arrested him; turns out he had a firearm and got hit with reckless driving charges too. He got his karma quick πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp #ontariocalifornia #peacefulprotest #stopdeportation #immigrantsmakeamericagreat ♬ original sound - π•Έπ–†π–—π–Žπ–†π–“π–† πŸ„πŸ§šπŸΌ‍♀️✨🫧
