It’s been 9 years since #DelrawnSmall was shot by Wayne Isaacs.

It's been two mayors. Seven commissioners. Zero accountability.

Commissioner Tisch has a chance to show she believes in reform, in accountability, in progress, if she will uphold the charges and #FireWayneIsaacs.

Wayne Isaacs & his police union lawyers have been playing games to avoid accountability for almost a DECADE. The truth is #DelrawnSmall was unarmed when he was gunned down in front of his 4-month-old baby & teenage stepdaughter - yet Isaacs STILL hasn’t even faced a disciplinary trial.

Commish Tisch knew this horrifying ICE raid was coming and did NOTHING to protect New Yorkers - she even deployed riot cops to protect ICE at 26 Fed Plaza instead. It's likely that these kinds of attacks & abductions will increase in the coming months -- is Tisch really who we want in power?
