The Left would have us believe that hundreds of thousands of people, disproportionately individuals of color, are unfairly locked up for nonviolent crimes. Further, activists argue that releasing such offenders poses no threat to the public.

Neither of these statements is true. First, while some people in state and federal prisons are there for crimes categorized as "nonviolent," that is not necessarily because they were arrested for a nonviolent crime. It is often because they have pled down to a lesser offense. Some 94% of people in jail have not been tried by a jury but have agreed to a plea deal.

Rapper Kodak Black was among four people shot early Saturday near an after-party in West Hollywood for singer Justin Bieber, Black's lawyer said.

Attorney Bradford Cohen posted about the shooting near The Nice Guy restaurant and lounge on his verified Instagram account Saturday.

"There was an unprovoked attack on an individual (K)odak was with, when security and (K)odak came to his aid, several shots were fired at them by an unidentified assailant. Luckily, this was all caught on video. Kodak was struck in the leg. It was not life threatening, he will make a full recovery and he is in stable condition," the statement from Cohen read.

The statement included a screengrab of the shooting reported by TMZ.

Cohen did not respond to a CNN request for additional information, instead pointing to his posted statement.

The Los Angeles Police Department earlier said an altercation took place around 2:45 a.m. on the 400 block of N La Cienega Boulevard.

Bieber was hosting an after-party at The Nice Guy restaurant and lounge, following a concert, and "the shooting occurred ... near The Nice Guy, but it was not directly in front," a source familiar with the event told CNN.

The source said Bieber was inside the venue when the shooting took place, and he decided to leave once he learned of the incident.

Police said there was a "physical altercation" between several people and gunshots were fired by a suspect who then fled the scene. In a news release Saturday afternoon, the LAPD asked for the public's assistance in identifying the suspect.

Two of the victims were taken to nearby hospitals by paramedics while the other two self-transported to hospitals, police said. They said the incident was not gang-related.

That is what Justin Pugh remembers when he thinks back on Odell Beckham Jr. and their shared time together with the Giants.

The spectacular athleticism? Sure. The dyed blonde hair? Of course. The one-of-a-kind catch that turned Odell Beckham Jr. into OBJ? Certainly. But it was a tractor trailer that pulled into the team facility one day, and what it revealed about a certain former teammate — a young, budding superstar — that Pugh thinks back on most of all as Beckham’s revitalization takes center stage with his impending appearance in Super Bowl 2022.

Hundreds of municipal workers marched across the Brooklyn Bridge this week, chanting in unison for New York City to end its vaccine mandate, and carrying signs that said “Fire Fauci” and “Unvaccinated Lives Matter.”

Their pleas were rejected by Mayor Eric Adams, who has reaffirmed the city’s looming ultimatum: If city workers do not get vaccinated, they are the ones who will be fired.

The Adams administration is poised to dismiss up to 3,000 municipal workers on Friday for refusing to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, in what could be the nation’s most drastic example of a work force reduction tied to a vaccine requirement.

The mandate, put in place by Mr. Adams’s predecessor, Bill de Blasio, has been effective: About 95 percent of the city’s 370,000 workers have received at least one dose of the vaccine,

Hundreds of municipal workers marched across the Brooklyn Bridge this week, chanting in unison for New York City to end its vaccine mandate, and carrying signs that said "Fire Fauci" and "Unvaccinated Lives Matter."

Their pleas were rejected by Mayor Eric Adams, who has reaffirmed the city's looming ultimatum: If city workers do not get vaccinated, they are the ones who will be fired.

The Adams administration is poised to dismiss up to 3,000 municipal workers on Friday for refusing to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, in what could be the nation's most drastic example of a work force reduction tied to a vaccine requirement.

The mandate, put in place by Mr. Adams's predecessor, Bill de Blasio, has been effective: About 95 percent of the city's 370,000 workers have received at least one dose of the vaccine, an increase from 84 percent when the mandate was first announced in October.

Mr. Adams has repeatedly said that he preferred not to fire police officers, firefighters and teachers, but that it was more important to enforce vaccination against the virus.

"We have to be very clear - people must be vaccinated if they are New York City employees," Mr. Adams said at a news conference on Thursday in the Bronx. "Everyone understood that."

"We are not firing them," he added. "People are quitting. The responsibility is clear."

The loss of roughly 3,000 workers would represent less than 1 percent of the city's work force, but is still believed to be the largest worker reduction in the nation in response to a vaccine mandate. Another roughly 1,000 new city employees must show proof of two doses by Friday or they could also be fired.

Dr. Jay Varma, a former health adviser to Mr. de Blasio, said the mandate was one of the most important public health measures the city took during the pandemic, and that it protected essential workers and the public while setting a precedent for private employers and other communities.

"Vaccine mandates are contagious," he said. "Many other cities and states adopted employee mandates after New York City, because if you can make it happen here, you can make it happen everywhere."

Other cities like Boston and Chicago have moved to require vaccination for city employees and have faced serious pushback from unions and workers. In other places like San Francisco, Washington State and Massachusetts, hundreds of workers have lost their jobs, though most have complied with mandates.

New York has also seen resistance to its mandate. Unions filed a lawsuit, arguing that the city had overstepped its authority, but the challenges were not successful. A group of unions filed a new lawsuit on Tuesday, claiming that the city was not following due process by firing workers.

Harry Nespoli, the president of the sanitation workers' union, said he was urging Mr. Adams to slow down and not fire workers yet because there were still "people that do not want to put this vaccination in their body."

The city could replace fired workers, Mr. Nespoli said, but the department would lose valuable experience.

"If we get another blizzard, service could be affected," he said. "People are trained at what they do and it's important. How fast can you train someone compared to someone who has 15 years on the job?"

City officials said the potential dismissals should have no effect on city services: The 3,000 targeted workers have been on unpaid leave for months. The city also suggested that the actual number of people fired may be lower, as some may decide to get vaccinated just before the Friday deadline or submit proof of vaccination.

About 44 sanitation workers were facing termination on Friday, according to Mr. Nespoli.

"It changes every day," he said. "Some people are getting vaccinations now - they don't like it, but they're going for it. They like eating every week and paying their bills."

Mr. Adams, a Democrat who took office in January, chose to keep other pandemic policies by Mr. de Blasio, including vaccine requirements for private employers and for indoor dining, gyms and movie theaters. About 38,400 city workers have received at least one dose of the vaccine since the municipal mandate was announced in October.

Mr. Adams and Mr. de Blasio have both argued that vaccine mandates are needed to keep New Yorkers safe, and they pushed for more people to get vaccinated and boosted during the Omicron wave. More than 85 percent of adults in the city are fully vaccinated.

The Coronavirus Pandemic: Key Things to Know

Card 1 of 3

Vaccination rates among city agencies have been uneven. The Police Department and Correction Department have the lowest rates with 88 percent of workers who have received at least one dose. About 95 percent of the workers at the Fire Department and the Sanitation Department have received one dose.

The teachers' union said that the Education Department had sent about 700 of its members termination notices. The city's largest police union, the Police Benevolent Association, said that 50 of its members were facing termination.

Besides the 3,000 workers that could be fired, another 9,000 city workers are also unvaccinated, but are seeking exemptions, or working with unions to avoid terminations.

In all, about 13,000 workers have applied for exemptions, which are known as reasonable accommodations, and 54 percent of those requests have been processed so far, according to city officials. About 2,100 were approved and 4,910 were denied.

All city workers are required to receive one dose of the vaccine. New hires must get two doses if they received a vaccine that includes a second dose. Booster shots are not required, but Mr. Adams has said he was considering the idea.

Paul Schweit, a firefighter who has been on unpaid leave for months, said he requested a religious exemption that was denied, and he is appealing the decision. While he is not facing termination on Friday, he said he has struggled to pay his mortgage and was working odd jobs to stay afloat. Still, he does not want to be forced to get the vaccine.

"It's about risk versus reward - me and my family, we try to live as holistic a lifestyle as possible," he said. "If I don't need it, I don't really want it."

Mr. Schweit, who leads a group called Bravest for Choice that opposes the vaccine mandate, argued that most essential workers already have antibodies after recovering from the virus. He said workers were willing to be tested regularly.

When Mr. Adams was elected in November, Mr. Schweit said that he had an "extreme amount of hope" that the new mayor would change course from Mr. de Blasio and negotiate with unions to find a solution. He believes Mr. Adams, a former police captain, might change his mind and avoid firings.

"I still have hope - he has the power to re-evaluate this on a daily basis," he said.
