www.techdirt.com NYPD, NYC Gov’t Continue Freefall As Top Cop Resigns Following Allegations Of Sexual Misconduct

Few things have been more enjoyable than watching the collapse of New York City mayor Eric Adams’ personal, cop-focused empire. Granted, if you’re a NYC resident, your mileage will vary…

“He wanted to have anal sex, vaginal sex, oral sex,” Epps said. “He was always asking me to kiss his penis.”

Shocking that a man in power would try to abuse that power. /s

That's why democracy needs accountability. And that's why the powerful hate accountability so much.
- Democracy in the US*
  In other countries where democracy is in service to the public, these things don't occur on a scale of notoriety. It's like, someone does a bad thing and they go to prison.
  
  That's accountability. All democracy needs it but most democracies outside the US already have it
  
  Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

  You know, like Prince Andrew in the UK.
  
  You're right, prince Andrew should've been fired from his publicly elected office.
  Oh wait
  
  And why isn’t he in prison? Oh right, because he’s rich and powerful. The dude diddled girls (or was at least an accomplice to it happening to dozens of girls) and got off with… Losing his job? And you call that accountability?
  
  I agree, but you were talking about democracy and there's nothing democratic about Prince Andrew the rapist.
  
  He avoided jail. I haven't followed that story closely, but Epstein was abusing girls, not women, and I'd assume Andrew is accused of the same.
