Sharpton assails NYC’s crime spike: 'They’re locking up my toothpaste' (msn.com)

Rev. Al Sharpton is calling on New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a former police captain, to address the city’s spike in crime, calling the situation “out of control.”

“In fairness to Eric, he's only been mayor five weeks,” Sharpton said Wednesday during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “But even as a fan of him: Eric, they're locking up my toothpaste.”

Sharpton's comment referred to reports that New York-area pharmacies and convenience stores have begun to place low-cost items, even toothpaste, in locked cases to prevent theft. Major crime increased 38.5 percent in January, Adams’ first month in office, compared to the same period last year, according to a NYPD report.

“I mean, we're talking about basic stuff here,” Sharpton said. “I'm like, what did I miss that we now have to lock up toothpaste?”

Remember the Biden crime bill? A lot of our elders did the same when violent crime rates were out of control.

People have framed anti-crime views and legislation like it's nothing more than a Republican talking point.

As if other people don't hate criminals or are affected by crime.

Y'all gonna learn. Hardcore criminal element are who they are, and there is no p*ssy footing your way around that.
