For those outside New York, Errol Louis is a local political reporter and pundit who is by no means anti-cop. It’s meaningful that he’s the one saying that NYPD can’t be trusted on this.
Thank you for providing this context. I realized it was needed when I read EL’s remarks aloud to my husband (who is a west coast lifer) and his jaw didn’t hit the floor, but due to the news of the day and some unrelated personal life awfulness was too tired and sad to internet any more last night.
