Mayor Eric Adams has fearmongered to New Yorkers about crime and the subways despite knowing this is one of the safest cities in the country and now..

being overly sensitive and defensive about things is how/why we ignore issues in our communities

all of a sudden caring about crime is :mjpls: because white people talk about...
yet black folks are most affected by crime

Shut the fukk up cac and stop posting racist cartoons from right wing accounts. Only @Bunchy Carter finds those funny.

I agree with the sentiments in here that both things can be true. Eric Adams is a career cop; their “success” is based on twisting numbers.

At the same time, it’s a numbers game. There are 9 million people in NYC; you have to think it’s at least 100,000 who are legit insane. You have to mitigate what you can when you can, but you can’t stop everything.

Crime overall is down, but random acts of violence and mentally ill attacks could be up. People’s fear and feelings can’t really be quantified, but it’s obvious many people do feel unsafe on the train.

If you ask 100 people on the street if they would rather see a national guard patrol or a group of mentally ill people roaming a platform, I think we can guess what the majority would want. I’m not for over policing in any sense, but as a politician it’s an easy win for PR and perceived public safety.

The lawyer woman is unwilling to admit that an increased presence can be what many people feel they need, despite whatever poll or graph she’s reading.

If you actually live in NYC and speak to NYC residents you would know what the general concensus is. ALOT of people feel unsafe taking public transportation. They do it because they have to. I hate when people from other cities run up in threads and make absolute statements on shyt they know nothing about. You'll never catch me talking about shyt in threads about cities/states like St. Louis, Mississippi or Oakland because I don't live there, know people there or frequent there. Stats don't tell the full story all the time.

I'm all for tough questions and holding people accountable but her approach and demeanor to me was just confrontational for confrontation sake. Man asked can you quote the rhetoric you speak of and couldn't pull up one quote. :hubie: side snide comments and such.

🎯

Black women be like ‘you just don’t like a strong educated woman who don’t take no shyt’

Uh, yea. Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying. I do not.

Funny… Yall ain’t question Deblasio putting his wife in charge of homeless services and outreach and they still can’t find that $25million mismanaged lmaoo

But Beblasio right?
I questioned it then and question it now, and the reason it was swept under the rug is because of this City Council which is filled with children and idealistic nincompoops who have never had a real job OR have a nice lobbying gig lined up afterwards just in case.

I relish in the fact that that idiots career is over on all levels.
