Eric Adams Wants to Use Drones to Fight Crime in NYC

How do you use drones in the subway?

Sounds to me like the Mayor doesn’t have a clue on how to fight crime. Because things continue to worsen since he took office:

Each drone would reportedly cost the city between $70,000 and $100,000 and would not carry weapons or have facial recognition capabilities.https://t.co/Sdg8cyMvEu

The politicians in New York have plenty of excuses for the crime problem going up. Bottom line is that they don’t have answers.

Policymaking in Albany must follow the #factsnotfear.

The facts show that there was essentially no change in the share of people rearrested post-release before and after the implementation of bail reform.https://t.co/ZSPGWS1xbA

And the crimes are getting more violent and senseless:

The man who accidentally shot a 3-year-old girl as her father was picking her up from a Brownsville day care center Friday afternoon was aiming at a different father, who was picking up his two-year-old son. https://t.co/aaOTSQNPwH

And the old approach, which was ruled illegal by the courts, are coming back:

Broken windows? You mean the same policy that broke countless innocent Black and Latinx lives in NYC?

PFT!

These are the kinds of headlines that send jolts of fear into the hearts of New Yorkers of Color who will bear the brunt of this failed tactic…https://t.co/iMSjif1s3x

This is not a joke. NYC Mayor Eric Adams turned to Chicago's Lori Lightfoot for ideas on how to tackle subway crime and gun violence… even as violent crime surges 34% in the Windy City.

The system is broken:

The repeat-criminal who attacked women with feces has been arrested AGAIN. This time held on $5k bail, but only because he ASKED the judge to hold him: “Don’t let me out again… What I’m going to do next is going to shock the city.”

Wonderful.https://t.co/M8cCC1fTDD

The Mayor has misguided priorities:

“Talented detectives with irreplaceable experience were lost because of the mandate,” DiGiacomo said. “Athletes and performers more important during a crime wave than NYPD detectives?” https://t.co/lwHbYTvOft
