Jay Z has released a statement in support of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s plan to improve police relations in NYC. Cuomo gave his annual State of the State address last Wednesday, highlighting a six-point reform package to restoring trust and respect between police and the community. Hova told Capitol Confidential,
“The criminal justice reform package proposed by Governor Cuomo today is a huge step forward in restoring fairness, protection, sensitivity and accountability for all under our justice system. I commend Governor Cuomo for his bold leadership in taking this issue head on at this critical time. This package presents comprehensive steps to protect and improve relations amongst all citizens. We cannot be divided, as every single human being matters. Together, we can move forward as a community, with mutual respect for each other and continue to make this great state stronger than ever before.”

Cuomo’s reform plan follows the unjust deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and other unarmed black males that lead to countless protests, civil unrest and violence from both ends, including the assassination of two NYPD cops.
