Black and Latinx New Yorkers are disproportionately ticketed for outdoor drinking, data shows (via eaterny)
. Since January, the NYPD has handed out roughly 1,250 criminal summonses for drinking in public. Of those summonses, roughly 48 percent were issued to Black individuals, while close to 43 percent went to those who are Latinx. The NYPD issued half as many summonses for public drinking over the same period in 2019, though Black and Latinx New Yorkers were similarly affected then too.
In all, only seven percent of public drinking summonses were issued to white people. In a statement to Gothamist, NYPD spokesperson Al Baker shared that “the NYPD enforces the law fairly and equally, and works tirelessly every day to keep every resident and every neighborhood safe.”— Upper East Side piano bar Brandy’s is at risk of closing, a spokesperson for the restaurant has shared.
