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..

[The War Report]

He's a fukking cop, of course he was gonna be a bad mayor.

Last time I was there was in 2018 and the amount of crackheads just walking around in every park was shocking.

Well that number has gone up since the pandemic. It’s bad, unhinged at times. Makes 2018 crackheads look like reasonable people.

You're just the type of person to fall for the okdey doke, and then give more power to cops unecessarily. All of this propaganda is for that purpose.

From the NY Times


People seem to have trouble grasping the idea of SCALE. NYC has 8 million people living in the most densely populated area in the country. Of course there is going to be crime. But when sensational - and rare - events like the subway pushing stories happen, people that don't have the facts extrapolate that to mean more than it is. This then contributes to a false notion that NYC is some hellish landscape instead of the FACT that it's the safest big city in the country, and that your average New Yorker is safe riding the subway, and going about their daily business.

This all plays into right wing propaganda, just as it's meant to.

Tell that to the victims family. I'm sure it will make them feel better

Why do people downplay crime?

If the NY Post wants to quote me they should get it right. I said Mayor Adams would like to sensationalize 1 police death, which is a rare occurrence, but has nothing to say about the 7 people New York police have killed this year, or the 19 year old NYPD killed 2 nights ago

Thank you!

Excellent rebuttal. I concede my error.

I remember Tariq Nasheed was roasting this woman last year.


She seems pretty informed on criminal justice though.

The subway statistics are bullshyt because most things dont get recorded. Things I've seen with my own eyes.

No one cares about stats when a crazy person is yelling to himself on the train. Even if nothing actually happens, you shouldnt have to feel relieved something didnt on your daily commute. So many people gaslight commuters about this, as if theyre the crazy ones.

No definitely very corrupt as well and it was more than 25 million I think maybe 100million

It was 850 million

De Blasio's wife can't account for $850m given to mental health scheme

ThriveNYC, the mental health scheme fronted by Chirlane McCray, was given a budget of $850m to improve mental health care in the city, but has failed to track what the money was spent on.

Bloomberg is the reason we have so many homeless people on the street his administration closed hospitals and mental health facilities

Covid is when it got really bad with them social distancing every shelter. Most people just said fukk it, and went to the street and never went back. I have never seen more homeless, and needles on the tracks, than post covid. I've never seen this many young crash outs either. Seems like a lot od toung guys just gave up

Why do people downplay crime?

Why do people think that being tough on crime is so moral stance especially when the Mayor is doing things to make said crime worst

 

[jilla82]

Crime was down worldwide, all those policies did was target Black people, especially young Black men & boys.

NYC was a different place when he took over...
that cant be argued.

it targeted hood black folks...
there was a certain demo that wasnt upset by what he did because it didnt effect them

people always gloss over this type of shyt.

everybody I know IRL says shyt has felt different...
like you said everything isnt reported.

anyone denying crime has been way more brazen the past few years is playing dumb

One of the safest cities? I need to see some data
