The New York City Council recently passed two bills that would address crises happening in this city: deaths at Rikers and police abuse—both of which have ballooned since Eric Adams became mayor. The first bill would end the use of solitary confinement at Rikers by requiring that the people who are incarcerated there awaiting trial be allowed at least 14 hours of time outside of their cell, and the other would expand NYPD’s public transparency by requiring them to document each stop and search they make, as well as the legal justification for the stops and searches. Eric Adams vetoed both bills and told New Yorkers “Vetoing this bill will keep those in our custody and our correction officers safer." New York, Eric Adams is lying to you.
Excellent article that shows how actions speak louder than words and Eric Adams actions are extremely telling and dangerous for Black and Brown people in NYC. Anti-Blackness is real and can even run through the veins of Black people and Adams is one of them.
Eric Adams, the NYPD along with the common sense caucus in the city council are all misleading the public on this bill. Its unfortunate and simply a disgrace.
You shouldn't be able to run for office if you have a long history of being a .. cop.
I can't stand Adams, anyone who says the unhoused are a "cancer", has showed their ass completely.
Excellent summation! Not all skin folk are kin folk.... 😡

We have much work to do; but it shall be done. NYC Belongs to it's Residents, and We have Sovereignty!
Is Mayor Adams using neighborhood watch apps to monitor and surveil neighborhoods?
