NEW YORK CITY, August 10—While the ruling class laments the departure of their darling “top cop” William Bratton, the working class knows better! Under his first watch (1994-1996) many Black and Latin workers and youth were murdered in cold bood by the NYPD, including Anthony Baez, Hilton Vega, Anthony Rosario, Nicholas Hayward Jr.—and under his second watch ( 2013-2016) Shantel Davis, Kimani Gray, Ramarley Graham, Akai Gurley, Eric Garner, Kyam Livingston —and countless others. According to a report by Amnesty International, for instance, there was a 34 percent increase in people fatally shot by NYPD in Bratton’s first year as Police Commissioner alone.
