Maybe if you don’t loot your non-profit, you might not be arrested. Allegedly, of course. Just a thought…
Via NY Post:
Queens Councilman Ruben Wills defiantly proclaimed his innocence — and then played the race card — following his arrest Wednesday morning in the looting of a not-for-profit group he once ran.
“Not too many people have stood before the cameras and said they’re innocent,” Wills said after being released without bail from Queens Supreme Court.
When a reporter countered that a number of busted pols actually had said exactly that, Wills, a Democrat, said: “That’s disrespectful.”
“I am not resigning on charges. This is America, people. We are presumed innocent before we are proven guilty,” he said.
“But because I know what I am, where I come from and the color I am, it doesn’t really work like that with you guys. But I am presumed innocent and that’s what we are going with.”
