Mr. Murphy, a quick thought on one of your recent stories.
On-
yonkerstimes.com/how-the-thin-blue-line-became-a-shield-for-corruption/,
first, I want to thank Kristin Stein for her attempts to serve the community that she grew up in as a Police Officer. It is my understanding that her brother is still a member of the Greenburgh Police Department and her father was also a police officer.
She comes from a proud family of law enforcement, and it is shameful how other officers treated her.
I do not care about Officer Stein’s sexuality; it should play no role in protecting our community. But I do find it ironic that as a member of the LGBTQ community, Kristin Stein received ZERO support from the progressive-democratic community, who usually speak LOUD and PROUD when it comes to people in the LGBTQ community.
Where was the outrage for Stein? Where were the protests from the progressive community? The democratic community? The Gay and Lesbian community?
Shame on you for not speaking up for Officer Stein when she needed the support. And I hope that the Town of Greenburgh has to write a big fat check for what happened to you

To the Editor:
I have read that MGM Resorts is pitching a major transformation of the Empire City Casino in Yonkers. Any plans to expand the casino must prioritize closing the horseracing facility as the first order of business. Yonkers Raceway in particular has a long history of animal abuse, drugs, and environmental violations. Any transformation needs to address the egregious nature of horseracing by eliminating it completely.
Thank you, Christina DeRespiris, New Rochelle

I see your point about not doxxing the identities of the various Westchester residents that you cited in your recent piece.

I can understand that, however when your piece morphed into a pathological hatred of Trump it was missing the point as far as why there is contempt for Trump and the magnitude of his evil! Donald Trump is Cosa Nostra on steroids he has been since he was under the tutelage of Roy Cohn. The same Roy Cohn who knew or worked for Sam Giancana, santos trafficante and Carlo Gambino. Roy Cohn in a New York magazine article was described as an EVIL human being besides being the racist piece of filth that helped Trump and his father not rent to black and brown ww2 war veterans in Stuyvesant town in nyc .
Trumps good friend,when he ran casinos in Atlantic City, was mob boss Nicholas Scarfo who died 8 years ago. Whenever there were union issues or other problems with his casino he would call Nicholas Scarfo to straighten things out. Many banks will not loan to him because he has ripped them off. Trump has called Mexicans criminals and rapists. Implemented a Muslim ban from the white supremacist and Nazi officer stephen miller. He has called people from Haiti animals that eats dogs.
Mike Johnson , his speaker of the house, is tied to white supremacists and the family research council a lgbtq hate group. He has killed people with his brutally racist detention center where 95 percent of the people that have died could have been prevented with proper medical care according to various immigrants rights groups and the ACLU.
He has cut off aid to people in need as far as international hunger relief agencies like U.S. Aid. People are dying daily from that , I found that out personally from someone that I know who works for the UN.They are putting black and Latino immigrants in cages and in the case of a Latino woman reported recently she did not receive water for twenty four waters.
Racist refuse like Nassau County Bruce Blakeman is augmenting to this brutally racist and evil immigration policy by incarcerating people in a detention center in Nassau county where blakeman admits he doesn’t know whether these people are criminal or not.
As Robert DeNiro said, “Donald Trump is not just a bad person, he is EVIL.” So if there is, as you describe, a pathological hatred for Trump, there is a reason for that.
