As of 30 minutes ago at the time of posting, the NYPD has detained two young Black men after they refused their demands to show ID without explanation or cause. (files.catbox.moe)

The NYPD is skulking through the L train demanding IDs from Black and Latino men, again with zero justified cause or explanation as to why.

They're doing it to get them extraordinarily renditioned.

~~extraordinarily renditioned~~

Way too sanitized of a term, when what it really means is 'kidnapped'.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Kidnapping doesn't necessarily involve torture.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

All the more reason not to use the state's sanitized language around torture and kidnapping.
