NY TRANSIT AND POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY ADVOCATES TO GOVERNOR CUOMO: INVEST IN MTA SERVICE UPGRADES NOT MORE MTA POLICE

[New York News\MTA]
Riders Alliance Community Organizer Danna Dennis: “Riders need more subways and buses, not an expensive new police force. Governor Cuomo should cancel his order for the MTA to hire new police officers it cannot afford and doesn’t need. The governor needs to face the facts: crime is down and ridership is up. New Yorkers need more service and less surveillance, more public transit and less abuse of the public trust.”

“Justice requires transparency. There is no legitimate law enforcement reason why — five years later — Mr. Garner’s family, criminal justice advocates and the public do not have the fundamentally important information we seek today,” said Alvin Bragg, Co-Director of the New York Law School Racial Justice Project, Visiting Professor of Law at New York Law School, and former Chief Deputy New York State Attorney General.
