8 hours is that a joke?
and you remember how the air quality in lower manhattan was found ok when tested on september 2001.
Now that it's all over, let us find some officers that spent the week working there and see how they liked it.

Why is he YELLING?

The court has already proven the 8 hour claim to be utterly fraudulant. It is beyond pathetic that anyone would even try to lie about the conditions of that location.

Fire them all.

=v= He's YELLING because he's a cop and that's his idea of reasonable, nuanced discourse. :^)

And so the credibility of the NYPD begins to crumble. I'm surprised the union doesn't try to mitigate him a bit. Soon I'll believe NOTHING the police say.

is there word on a class action lawsuit? i know people want to move on from the ordeal. but there is so much merit for a class action. there is proof!!! and even the judge ruled the police in contempt. this could bring many changes in the way proestors are treated in the city. this could also ruin some careers, if taken to court.

this is so demeaning.

i was in pier 57 for 15 hours. they made you wait to use the bathrooms and you could only get a drink if you had a cup. no one was given the chance to talk to a lawyer until they left the peir.
oh yea, and the floor was covered in oil and the was asbestos in the ceiling.

I personally know two people who spent 20 hours at Guantanamo on the Hudson. Both were from out of state, yet both got the DATs Kelly said they were ineligible to receive. And there are transit workers openly talking about why they abandoned the facility ten years ago, after a fire and asbestos contamination. The oil was from the buses they used to park there before they decided the building was unfit for humans. I think the fact that the city was found to be in contempt of court on 9/2 speaks a lot louder than Kelly's shouted lies.

i was "lucky" and only had to spend a 12 hour overnight stay at Pier 57. (friends of mine were there for at least 18 hours). they mention the benches and porta-toilets, but don't mention that there were maybe 5 benches per 100 people (we did a headcount in our cage), so if you didn't fit, you had to sleep on the gasoline-soaked cement floor, and you could only use the toilets when they would LET you. i also read a police statement somewhere that we were allowed a phone call there which is a blatant lie. and even if there wasn't "substantial" asbestos in the air, which i don't necessarily believe, rumor is that the slime on the floor is the after-effect of an asbestos fire that happened there when the place was a bus depot (the source for this is one of the EMTs on sight.) so, fuck yeah, class action suit. i know the NLG and probably other orgs are working on it so i would probably just contact them for updates.

This is a outward lie. I was detained for 52 hours, 13 of them in pier 57. Drinking water and toliet had at least an hour and half line with no adequate handwashing facilties and no benches.
