Rochester, N.Y., Mayor Lovely Warren has been indicted on felony charges relating to her fundraising, Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley announced on Friday

Donations to the mayor’s regular campaign were capped at less than $9,000. She also had a leadership PAC subject to much looser fundraising rules, but which was prohibited from directly helping her reelection efforts. Several complaints at the time alleged that this entity was in fact dedicated solely to aiding her candidacy.

The referral against de Blasio never led to charges, however, after Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s office concluded it would be too difficult to prove the mayor’s actions were motivated by “criminal intent” rather than a misunderstanding of the complicated election laws. That hurdle is one of the reasons why campaign finance cases are relatively rare in New York.

One month ago Friday, a monthsold video was released showing Rochester police placing a hood on Daniel Prude and pressing his face into the pavement. Prude, a Black man who was in the throes of a mental health episode at the time, ultimately died from the suffocation and the incident drew national attention, citywide protests and continued calls for Warren’s resignation.

Why do politicians continue to do this when so many get caught.

It's racist to indict a Black politician. Blacks do no wrong.

I'll share it if she gets convicted in order to be fair, SHUT UP?

Good... get rid of corrupt politicians early on.

Ouch. Well that's not lovely at all.

That's wild
