Biaggi is far off-base

To the editor:

(re: “Hold police to a higher standard,” Aug. 13)

Sen. Alessandra Biaggi, how many Black New Yorkers have paid for police bad behavior with their lives?

Sen. Biaggi, how many Black New Yorkers — who were not criminals, resisting arrest, nor engaging in criminal activities — have been killed by police?

Sen. Biaggi, do you believe that the average police officer starts his or her shift by going out and looking for a Black New Yorker to kill?

I think you are woefully far off-base!
