    Create a problem to then fix it and take full credit for it. This administration is an absolute abomination.
  • @halid36
    The both of them and hotchel are the worst thing to happen to New York. I thought di Blasio and Cuomo were bad, My fellow New Yorkers, please wake up and vote President Trump and republican. And the mayor keeps lying, crime is not down in New York.
  • The mayor says you can't arrest a drunk or drugged person who is laid out on the side walk. But that person for their safety and as well as the public needs to be brought to a medical facility and to stay there until sober. Or jail if they are repeat offenders at being a vagrant and intoxicated in public. There has to be some accountability
  • @wnmoy
    This should be a long standing responsibility not an “initiative” like you are just starting to do something.

    I’ve been to almost every major city New York and LA SF is by far the nastiest 🤮 🤢 🐀 ⛺️ 💉 🚬 💩
  • Recall Bragg and make Adams a one term mayor. Let the cops profile and Stop and Frisk certain people.
  • @josejr.7191
    Ohhhh!! Will Biden from Brooklyn start telling DAs & judges to send violent criminals to jail? 🤷🏽‍♂️
  • @slapshot68
    This is like Woody Johnson n Robert Saleh announcing ways to fix the jets, those 2 are why they are dysfunctional to begin with, just like Adams n Bragg are responsible for the dysfunction in the city
  • As legal emigrant FJB. Big bird for Adams, big double bird for Motherflower Dabragga. Why? , because you don’t know how Ty run the city. 25 year in nyc , Brooklyn resident, never ever thought this country not going but running downhill.
  • The new plan is to have the nypd bring the criminals blankets and cocoa
