Aaaahahahaha and now Eric Adams has appointed him to be the interim chair of the entire board.
An Adams appointee to the CCRB has spent the last months arguing that we should threaten people with perjury so fewer people lodge complaints against cops and last month he helped overturn 91 allegations where investigators had found evidence of police misconduct: hellgatenyc.com/ccrb-flip-ra...

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

In addition to the fact that Cuomo is a creep, he devised a system to keep Republicans in control of the NYS legislature for years. He constantly fucked over New York City as governor, even though we are 45% of the state’s population, because he was so preoccupied with upstate conservatives.
Former N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has a long list of accomplishments, many of them progressive. In the race for New York City mayor, that experience hasn't given him the boost he wanted. n.pr/49uczOs
