Can't even revert the name to New Amsterdam, because the Dutch were involved in the slave trade.
Also, Joon really doesn't fucking understand what the actual definition of "emotional labour" is, or how cops might experience stress and anxiety while under constant public attack -

Something I realize about the call to empower social workers and teachers to replace the cops - do these defund idiots not realize that both are already massively overworked, underpaid, and burning out? And that cops probably experience the same sorts of pressures at work, seeing the best and worst of humanity? It's exactly the same kind of stress experienced by teachers, nurses, social workers all face.
And being stressed that there's the possibility of food tampering, when it appeared it might have occurred? Pretty reasonable, in my eyes.
The bodycams might have been in the evidence locker that was torched, when the precinct was lit on fire. I assume there's cloud storage, but if it's not the original recording from the devices on the officers, a competent prosecutor could make an argument that any cloud-stored data isn't provably original. I don't see how they'd get a judge to agree, but just stating that in front of the jury could plant the thought in their heads.
