Remember this black man who was found hanging from a tree in Fort Tryon Park in upper Manhattan? https://gothamist.com/news/nypd-investigating-suicide-black-man-found-hanging-tree-manhattan-park">https://gothamist.com/news/nypd...
NYPD declared it a "suicide"
The man didn& #39;t even live in the neighborhood.

It& #39;s important to note that the precinct responsible for investigating this incident in Washington Heights is the 34th Precinct.
The 34th Precinct has a history of police brutality. https://www.nytimes.com/1992/07/05/nyregion/upper-manhattan-block-erupts-after-a-man-is-killed-in-struggle-with-a-policeman.html">https://www.nytimes.com/1992/07/0...
The 34th also employs Neo-Confederate cops https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/04/17/cbs2-exclusive-some-take-offense-to-cops-general-lee-car-with-confederate-flag/">https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/04/1...

Identity Evropa among other white nationalist groups feel comfortable coming to the 34th& #39;s area and doing their thing.
This happened in the same park (Fort Tryon) not too long ago https://gothamist.com/news/new-video-gives-closer-look-at-white-supremacists-who-held-rally-in-fort-tryon-park">https://gothamist.com/news/new-...

Any time a black person is found hanging from a goddamned tree, the incident should be automatically understood as a lynching.
Anyone who reflexively assumes it was a suicide should be suspected of conducting a coverup.

White Nationalists have been infiltrating police departments for some time. And this is aside from the point that police are themselves a whit supremacist institution. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/fbi-white-supremacists-in-law-enforcement">https://www.pbs.org/newshour/...
In total, I don& #39;t think local police departments are capable of investigating hate crimes in good faith. b/c aside from being racist institutions themselves, they have a well documented habit of breaking bread with white supremacist orgs who operate outside the confines of law.
