Jay Z On NY Governor Police Reform Plan
Change Gon’ Come.
On Wednesday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo rolled out the 2015 Opportunity Agenda, a criminal justice reform plan to help improve the relationship with the police and citizens. Afterwards, Jay Z, who met with the Cuomo last month responded to the initiative.
“The criminal justice reform package proposed by Governor Cuomo today is a huge step forward in restoring fairness, protection, sensitivity and accountability for all under our justice system. I commend Governor Cuomo for his bold leadership in taking this issue head on at this critical time. This package presents comprehensive steps to protect and improve relations amongst all citizens. We cannot be divided, as every single human being matters. Together, we can move forward as a community, with mutual respect for each other and continue to make this great state stronger than ever before.”
FLEX LOST
Flex stay losing
When you’re arguing with yourself, how can you win? Ha.
He been lost
Now watch the hate come from people who have no involvement in any politics of their own city, don’t care about the community having a better and safer relationship between the police and the citizens and wanted Jayz to do this and do that but the minute he helps put a plan of reform in place? Hate Hate Hate…
The Governor’s Proposal below is the most relevant to the problems of: 1) police brutality and 2) the non-prosecution of law enforcement officials’ excessive/unwarranted force against the public.
Proposal #63: Restore trust between community and law
enforcement
Underlying the American dream of economic opportunity is a foundational belief and trust in our justice system. But that belief and trust has been questioned, presenting a problem in both and in reality. To restore trust and respect between community and law enforcement the Governor proposes a number of recommendations, which include the following:
1. Create a statewide Reconciliation Commission to address police/community relations in affected neighborhoods.
2. Recruit more minorities into law enforcement.
3. Obtain and make publicly available race and ethnic data on summonses, misdemeanors, and other police actions statewide.
4. Fund replacement vests, body cameras and bullet-proof glass for patrol cars in high crime areas.
5. District Attorneys may issue a grand jury report or a letter of fact in police cases where an unarmed civilian dies and the case is not presented to the grand jury or the grand jury fails to indict.
6. The Governor will appoint an Independent Monitor (a retired judge, for example) to review police cases where an unarmed civilian dies and the case is not presented to the grand jury, or the grand jury fails to indict. In those cases, the monitor can recommend
to the Governor the appointment of a special prosecutor.
7. The Independent Monitor will have access to police files and grand jury information, which will be protected.
SEEING IS BELIEVING!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Even if we see it, it’s doesn’t go far enough. IMO. But it’s nice step forward.
YOU KNOW THERE’S ALWAYS POLI”TRICKS” INVOLVED!!!! WE SHALL SEE!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Its the furtherest it can go though. There is no plan that goes further then a reform in police practices to better the relationship between law enforcement and the people. That is the furtherest step that can be made from a policy standpoint and even though tension was high in NY at the end of 2014, thats the right time to put in this kinda reform.
I disagree. Instead of having an Independent Monitor to review police files and grand jury information who can recommend the appointment of a special prosecutor, why not just appoint a special prosecutor that can act independent of the Governor’s office? That way, no elected politicians are involved in the process. What happens when there’s a governor in office who’s really sympathetic to police? And Independent Monitor’s recommendation isn’t worth shit.
Because your talking in terms of isolated cases because prosecutors change. This is about reform across the board. The governor has no choice but to be sympathetic to the police no matter who the governor is but that doesn’t mean steps cant be made. With this reform package there is no further to go. It addresses the whole problem. Now will there be more issues in the future? Of course because human nature will also leave room for errors but when your talking about reforming police practices themselves? Thats addressing issues before they even make there way to court. NY is not a third world country. Improving the relationship between the cops and the people is actually possible in that city.
How am I talking about an isolated case? And you didn’t really respond to what I proposed. Of course the governor is going to be sympathetic to police in some fashion. But you’re talking as though appointing a permanent special prosecutor is impossible. It really isn’t that difficult. All he has to do is take executive action or propose a bill (then the legislature would have to act). District attorneys work hand-in-hand with cops. They shouldn’t be expected to prosecute the people they work with on a daily basis. A permanent special prosecutor that’s immune from political influence/executive action (a bureaucrat instead of a politician) is the best we can do. I never said that improving relationship b/w police and the people is impossible. I think it is possible, and it’s necessary.
Ok your talking about the monitor and the prosecutor and your talking bout a special prosecutor being put in place? Ok well first a monitor thats independent of the police department was what people were asking for in the first place so now thats in play. Now your talking about a special prosecutor thats immune to the influence of police? Thats cool but that immunity only lasts so long. The nature of the job will involve that prosecutor having relationships and being influenced by people on the side of the court system. Now my comments are about the streets. Before you even get to court, something has got to happen in the streets between you and the law. Now there is no perfect plan but what there has to be interaction between the police and the people where in the high 90 percent neither the person or the cop gets injured on hurt. That is already the case for the most part so now people just trying to reform the police activity to get it as close to 99% as possible. Thats it. Once it gets to court there will always be room for mistake because if I’m a cop and I kill somebody in cold blood and I say oh he went for my gun? Chances are I’m not going to be charged with anything no matter what goes down. The object is improve the relationship between the police and the people to the point where if I’m a cop, I would think twice about shooting somebody in cold blood.
Homie. Again. I’m not knocking anyone’s efforts to improve the relationship b/w law enforcement and police. I’m just saying as a general matter. An independent prosecutor whose sole job is to watch over law enforcement and other government officials should be put in place. Period. The statement that “[t]he nature of the job will involve that prosecutor being influenced by people on the side of the court system” is conclusory, back that up with some reasoning.
What side of the court system are you even talking about? There’s no one to side with if you have an insular office that’s run independently of the governor’s influence, the public’s influence, or law enforcement’s influence. The only way the prosecutor should be able to be removed is because of misconduct. I won’t go into this ad nauseam, I think I’ve thoroughly stated my position.
The nature of the job will involve that prosecutor having relationships and being influenced by people on the side of the court system.
edit* the last sentence (quoted from marty mcfly) was added by mistake.
Internal Affairs is a whole law enforcement division who’s only job is to monitor the police but there has to be better law enforcement practices in the streets before a case even makes its way to a special prosecutor’s desk.
We agree on that. There’s needs to be better law enforcement practices. I totally agree. We need that on the front end so we don’t have issues on the back.
To your other point, internal affairs divisions still work under the same bosses as the regular police, (chief, commissioner etc.) Also, internal affairs can’t bring a criminal action, only a prosecutor. Again, independent special prosecutor is the best option. I didn’t say perfect, but it’s the best option. And it’s better than an Independent Monitor who can only “recommend” a special prosecutor. You feel me?
Ok but that prosecutor would still be using evidence and the opinions of Internal Affairs and the police department itself. If a cop gives his testimony to a special prosecutor, he’s still a cop on the side of his department. Could that prosecutor present his own information and do his own investigations? Of course but again my comments were not even about a special prosecutor. An independent monitor that can “recommend” a special prosecutor is what the people wanted though. Now its in play. There are too many cases and not enough “special” prosecutors so that “recommendation” needs to be decided carefully.
Breh, I get what your saying. You may think I dont but I do. Your comments was about the prosecutor which is fine because in a number of ways what your saying has been discussed for generations now and in multiple different ways it has been put in play before. My comments are about the interaction with police in the streets. You don’t believe a special prosecutor will be influenced by the police department, the court system, the governor, the politics and the potential money he or she would be offered to look the other way… Thats fine but again, my comment were not just about one aspect of reform.
My wife left me for a black man!!!
Grow a bigger penis dipshit.
maybe he could compensate what he lacks in penis size with wallet thickness. what do you think?
I don’t know but he is on every page saying the same thing.
Lmao funny shit
Fuckk Jay z
JIGGA!
Hov pushing for change I like that.
SOMEWHEREINAMERICA, B.DOT IS DOIN’ BACK FLIPS AND CARTWHEELS IN HIS BUTLER SUIT!!!!
………..HA!!!! GOOD SHIT JAY!!!!! AT LEAST YOU WEREN’T A MASCOT THIS TIME!!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Shout out to my nigga Funkmaster Flex who at this exact moment is making new bomb sounds on his PC in preparation for his announcement to say that Jay Z and Gov. Cuomo stole his idea for a State Reform App… whilst wearing a brand new pair of beige Lugz.
Lmao
………..BEIGE LUGZ??!!! *DEAD*!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
I hate your opinion.
Lmao
Lmfao
This is HOV!!!!!!!
What’s Cuomo going to do? Throw more whites in jail whether its justified or not, to make blacks feel better? Or will he fire white cops, indict them on bogus charges, and have them serve time, just so blacks won’t think they are targeted? Cuomo would better serve his constituents by honing in on the root problems of why blacks, proportionately, commit more violent crimes than whites. And it is NOT because of that phony, whiny, excuse my French “White Privilege”.
What are you talking about? How many white cops have been thrown in jail? How many white cops have thrown white people in jail? How many whites cops were put in jail on “bogus charges”? Where does it say anywhere in this reform that thats even the plan? Just STFU. How many violent crimes are committed by white people? Its not even being accurately reported because the stats you believe come from sources with the agenda or preserving white supremacy.
When white people are thrown in jail, in alot of cases its a white cop that puts them in there.
here you go again with that racist pattern’ I will not entertain your racist ass today marty. me and you’ we never on the same page, you racist I’m not marty.
What is racist about that comment? In the parts of america where alot of whites are imprisoned (middle america), its fact that in most cases another white cop threw they white ass in jail.
You the racist and there is nobody on Rapradar thats familiar with your comments that wouldn’t say your a racist.
marty did you know The justice system that Jay-Z is talking about is the one that favors the black race.
GTFOH, before you talk first at least know what your talking about. NY’s history is steeped deep in racism like the history of america in general. NY city has some of the highest rates on incarcerating black people for non violent crimes and dishing out the harshest and longest prison sentences to black people so STFU and with that I’m out.
talk later marty’ but remember Listen to the Rappers, Drug dealers and Criminals get you nowhere. Fucking Liberals are retarded
The racists you listen to are the worlds biggest drug dealers and criminals. You saying liberals are retarded while the other side of that view is crumbling to pieces, its only Koch brothers money thats even keeping it alive and relevant.
an inner city urban thug telling the governor how to enforce the state laws…..sounds like the divider in chief and the race baiter conspiring to trample on the civil rights of law abiding citizens…what could go wrong?
Something like 85% of the law abiding citizens are have always been behind police reform to improve relations between the police and the public. The inner city thug your talking about is arguably the most powerful man on the east coast in multiple realms including public relations.
The things Shawn does and still gets a bad feedback for being positive
I’m out here maneuvering for yall niggas #prayforflex
YA SITE IS TRASH!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! WHO YOU MAD AT??!! ME, OR YOURSELF!!!!
How cute…. I guess niggas still haven’t learned that you can’t tweak a broken system.. Better yet, protect a group of people it wasn’t designed for but anyways thank you Mr. Philanthropist. Your presence is a gift right?
You can tweak a broken system fam because if that were not the case. Police would still be lynching black people from trees outside court buildings.
That’s not a credible tweak when you have 10 times as many black men in prison than their were in the 1960s or having the same economic wealth we had leaving out of slavery which was 1/2 of 1% of the American wealth. So naw homie that’s not progress. And btw Slavery never ended!
Jayz wasn’t even born until 1969 so he was in no position to effect the prison system or the modern day slavery that exists because of it. Jay can’t turn around the 400 years of economic wealth that came off the backs of slaves and went right into the white mans hands. Jays is not God but this is a credible tweak man you just don’t wanna give him any credit for it. If this reform saves the lives of a 100 black people over the next few years then it was worth it. Like I said earlier a broken system can be fixed if you take into account that about three generations ago they were still hanging niggas from trees right outside of the court house. Black people are under attack but people just can’t put together the pieces and figure out how this system is set up like a trap. However Jayz had to become Jayz before he could really effect any change and that process is still taken place because he’s somebody to us but alot of people still only see him in a negative light but any progress that can be made is better then just complaining about it imo.
I’m not going to go into a back and forth with a Hov nuthugger ya dig? I never placed responsibility upon Jay at any point. I acknowledged facts about the injustices in America using the economic disparities as well as the Industrial Prison Complex. And if you think Hov had an effect on a government employee’s reform plan, because of a discussion between the two your mad delusional dawg. Quit replying to everybodys post about your idol. Fall back boa!
You mad now? You spoke about shit that Jay could not have stopped anyway because he wasn’t even born yet. You acting like a crab because you just hating. You the type that finds out Jay pays for alot of people’s college education and builds water pumps in Africa and says some shit like but he aint cure cancer though? Like comeonnow. Whether Jay influenced the decision or not, millions of people said there needs to be new law enforcement reform put in place. Now you see the governor of NY roll that out and you still mad? FOH
Damn you thirsty nigga. You dick pulling like a muthafucka lol Hov got you moist huhh
Let that nigga nut hug lol. He Fried anyway. Nigga got 50 replys on one story over a celebrity dawg. You can’t speak rational with Fanboys dawg it makes the shit worst. Lol funny shit tho
Thats cause there is absolutely nothing you can say against the statements itself. You little simple disses towards me only exist because not only are you insecure but your also a crab. You have to make your bitchass comments about me because you can’t deal with the points made. Now take your L and sit down fuknigga. You the whites mans little helper and thats cause secretly you will go against what helps black people if its not the way you want it. Bitch ass
Can a broken system be tweaked? Of course you fucking idiot. History has proven that. Now sit down and stfu before I gotta give you another lesson in common sense.
Lol Fanboys running wild! Stay WAVY My nigg!
Whats more disturbing is you peoples obsession with dicks. Its like you can’t make a comment about penis. Faggots.
You letting your hatred for Jayz blind you to something positive happening for the people. Whether its a major change or a minor change its still a change thats going in the right direction.
