“This assault on public safety is just wrong,” Adams advised radio host John Catsimatidis on Wednesday. “You have people who have a far-left agenda, who don’t believe in supporting police, and they’re writing this legislation and just handing it off to the council people.”
The council, which has a Democratic supermajority, earlier that day handed two payments that ban solitary confinement and require law enforcement officials to listing the race and gender of each particular person they encounter throughout an investigation. Each payments handed with sufficient votes to override Adams’s veto, the New York Submit reported.
Hate crimes in New York Metropolis, a overwhelming majority of that are anti-Semitic, final month rose by 33 % in contrast with the identical interval final 12 months, CBS reported. That rise mirrors a nationwide development, with the Anti-Defamation League reporting in October that anti-Semitic incidents rose by 400 % following Hamas’s terrorist assault on Israel. Whereas general crime within the metropolis has barely decreased in contrast with final 12 months, transit crimes, felony assaults, and automotive thefts have all jumped up.
