Why is it that every time there’s a post on Citizen where people have been shot and killed and the comments are supposed to be grieving, it’s actually in debate over race and politics? It shows that you guys have no ounce of morals or conscience. And this is what y’all have been reduced to. Mindless chatter and forced debates when we should be wishing people “rest in peace” cause either way no matter what color or race or what your political party is, someone’s child has died. But i guess it’s fuck all that if they voted trump or Biden and are black or white correct?
@bronxUser1608705018 they are all bots to divide the people further. I agree with your statement
Alot of these comments treat this app like instagram, nobody cares about your political views or societal views. 11 people got shot and injured and 3 people died while trying to have fun and y’all are talking about mayoral candidates. Y’all be commenting with your last 3
@niymiyuki totally agree no more comments on politics because NYC is run poorly by the Democrats
This why I stay my black ass in the house, can’t go have a good time without mfs acting like fools
This app literally SPEWS racist comments and it’s A SHAME that @citizensapp does NOTHING about it
They do have the option to report them and every time I see them I report them 😌🤌🏿💯
