New York's response to violent incidents will include reinstating plainclothes officer unit, mayor saysNew York Mayor Eric Adams outlined how the city will respond following a series of high-profile violent incidents, including a shooting that left one police officer dead and another fighting for his life. He should kick all the homeless drug addicts outta NYC subways, and put them in homeless shelters. Manhattan subways sucks to the core of this world. Go to Grand central & see, disgusting. They beg for cigarettes, if you don't give, they will attack u mayor. Nasty. cc: POTUS How is he going to keep his citizens from shooting each other? My guess is he will come after law-abiding citizens who lawfully own firearms and excuse the violence of the criminals. Good luck to him, but I am afraid he’ll pursue “gun control” rather than real education reform.
