New York’s governor, Kathy Hochul, called the arrest “bullshit” on social media and to reporters. She later said in a news conference that the charges against Lander had been dropped late on Tuesday afternoon.
If all of this weren’t so serious, it would be interesting, just from a sociological perspective, to see the extent to which public officials using expletives in public-facing remarks has increased of late.
Given this was basically accusing a politician of assault. Purely to Prevent him assisting a person in Court.
The amount of Expletive is Still way to fucking low.
Arrested For assaulting a police officer. Then Charges Dropped In a few Hours. Not only was there no case at all. But it is pretty bloody clear that the officers knew this at the time of arrest.
It was purely about not having to face opposition in court.
ICE really is turning into the MAGA equivalent of the SS.
Damn, I really am starting to wish I had the resources to get out…
You me, my brother-in-law. For some reason, its the
progressive* men in my life who understand the need to get our families away from this shit, somewhere they can avoid suffering and death, or radicalization, or recruitment to a losing cause. One thing we’re definitely NOT heading for is a quick civil war.Meanwhile my wife and all the other white progressive women we know seem perfectly happy to play wait-and-see straight through until its far too late.
*Even most of the MAGAT men I know would jump at the chance to remove their families from this sinking ship - they don’t want their kids caught up in this shit either.
