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

  You know, like Prince Andrew in the UK.

I’m from NYC and I can tell you, this headline is in no way an exaggeration. The New York City government is in total freefall. There is no more gravity holding things together. Our court system doesn’t function anymore. Our government is “violently disintegrating,” and innocent bystanders are getting vaporized in the process. There is no rule of law, no functioning governing body; it’s Mad Max out here and New Jersey is clinking champagne glasses while we burn. The movie “The Warriors” is now a documentary.
- So what you're telling me is Luigi Mangione is going to somehow become king of New York City?
  
  That would imply some form of justice being done, so...
- Can you give practical examples so thatI could understand what you mean please?
- Oh damn i hope they just wall it all off like in Escape from New York.
- hyperbole. I don't really want to encourage people in the suburbs and country thinking the cities are really like the warriors.
- Come out and play.

Why is Techdirt reporting on this?
- this is the dirt part
  
  And in this case, "tech" is short for "technically."
- Because they wanted to.
