Lock him up and throw away the damn key.
Of course wearing a mask! NYPD should be able to Stop and Frisk any young male wearing a mask!
There was a time when I wouldn't have agreed, but now I do.
Ban these damn masks already! I’m so over all these masks and mopeds make them illegal !!!!
Stop and frisk needs to come back and ban masks watch how things calm down quick if you ain’t doing nothing wrong shouldn’t worried about getting checked
