De Blasio says New York police should confront hateful but noncriminal conduct
Fox News
Mayor Bill de Blasio suggested in light of the mass shooting that left eight dead, six of them Asian American, in Georgia, that the NYPD confront those who engage in hateful conduct, even if it doesn’t rise to a criminal level.
"We need to know if you've been treated wrongly, if you've been a victim of discrimination, if you've been a victim of a hate crime, if you've been a victim of violence based on who you are, we need to know about immediately," the mayor said in a news briefing Thursday. States around the country have reported a spike in violence and hate-related incidents toward Asian Americans during the coronavirus pandemic.More Related News
