Everyone celebrating New York decriminalizing public drinking; somehow forgets that black and latino people will still be arrested for it.

When we read "decriminalized," we should understand that it means "decriminalized for white people good luck everyone else!"

If New York were serious about ending unnecessary public drinking arrests for *everyone*, it would legalize it. That's what it would take.
-
Same goes for marijuana: legalize it, New York. Otherwise, it's perpetuating a system wherein black and latino people are still targeted.
