The officers, rookie Jason Rivera, 22, who was killed and his 27-year-old partner, who was gravely wounded, were the fourth and fifth cops shot in the city this month.
Eric, you were there when we took crime down from 2200 murders a year to 500. Remember how we did it? We actually let the cops act proactively and backed them up. When they locked up violent thugs they actually went to prison. Listen to the guy who was at the helm and please wake up and knock this shyte off, embarrassing.

After 21 lost days, Adams is just beginning to develop his plan to reduce crime.
40% up in serious crime, 70% grand larceny, 160% auto theft, probably a record for a new Mayor.
Not to mention children and police who seem to be open targets.
Stop the gun control political bull.
Criminals don’t register their guns.
Instead use constitutional Terry stops to seize guns from the bad guys, (as approved in my administration by AG Reno and DAG Holder because it was 400,000 or so fewer, a much greater rate of success and justification and can be done now not after a long study…check the records), demand Soros funded DA Bragg is fired and incarcerate criminals until we are safe.
That would be 21 days or more of victims too many, but a start.

The officers, rookie Jason Rivera, 22, who was killed and his 27-year-old partner, who was gravely wounded, were the fourth and fifth cops shot in the city this month.
You know Eric, I was and I am still holding out hope for you. You wore the uniform, you had a front row seat to what was truly going on, regarding crime and violence in NYC. You rose the ranks and were out spoken and active on issues important to you. You wore the uniform.
Yet last night you let us down. You jumped on the Commie Democrat talking point that it is guns killing people and causing crime.
“It is our city against the killers,” Adams said during an emotionally charged press conference at Harlem Hospital, where the officers were rushed following the shooting. Adams called what happened an “attack on the city of New York” and “the children and families of this city.” The new mayor denounced gun manufacturers and traffickers “carving highways of death, destroying our communities” and blamed federal authorities for not stanching the flow of illegal firearms into the city.– Eric Adams
5 cops shot so far during your administration. A cop was killed last night and his partner is fighting for his life and you BLAME GUNS and not the predicate violent thugs pulling the triggers??? People who think like this allow these animals back on the street no matter how many times brave cops take them off.
Guns exist all over the USA, in conservative states and towns far more than NYC. Why then is it only in Democrat BLUE cities, where guns are ILLEGAL, that we have rampant gun violence??????
You and every other Democrat know the answer to that. All making them illegal does is to keep them out of the hands of decent, responsible people who actually OBEY THE LAW! No one is that ignorant to think releasing predicate violent thugs from prison and decriminalizing crime will not have a negative impact on violent crime stats.
Eric, your term is still in it’s infancy. Please don’t forget where you came from and what you learned as a NYC cop. You know what works and what SAVES LIVES. These violent thugs are killing black and brown people primarily, so if you need a Marxist “divide and conquer” talking point to run with, use that.
Take violent thugs off the street and crime will go down just like it did in the 90s. Not rocket science. You can’t claim ignorance like the lunatics running our Democrat shyteholes. Do the right thing for decent hardworking NYC residents in these neighborhoods and their protectors. Do your job and save lives Eric.

Two Democrats who support police reforms are both CARJACKED just hours apart: Rep. Mary Scanlon is robbed at gunpoint in Philadelphia and Illinois Senator Kimberly Lightford and her husband are carjacked in Chicago
Democratic Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon, 62, was robbed at gunpoint in Philadelphia’s FDR Park on Wednesday afternoon 16 hours after Illinois State Senator Kimberly Lightford, 53, and her husband, Eric McKennie, were also carjacked on Tuesday night in a suburb 20 minutes outside of Chicago. Both women supported police reform policies last year following the Black Lives Matter movement, with both co-sponsoring a bill in their respective offices to allow mental health specialists to be dispatched as first responders instead of police officers. Lightford, the Illinois Black Caucus chairwoman, had also previously supported cutting police budgets in the state, with Chicago proposing to slash $59 million from their police department’s budget.

“Um! What I miss in the last six weeks,” Kotlewski asked.
Despite being in a wheelchair, Kotlewski is in high spirits as he returns to his in-law’s home in Roselle.
“It was that emotional to see 80 to 100 police officers come out, from firefighters to paramedics, the garbage truck, everybody was here,” said Bensenville Village President Frank Desimone. “You saw the streets, it was a band playing!”
It came after a procession took him from a Wheaton rehabilitation hospital on Saturday, where he spent 42 days working to get his movement back after being shot nine times.
“I kind of got shot the best nine possible ways a person can get shot,’ Kotlewski said. “Most of my injuries are just orthopedic. Just bones, man. With the exception of a few nerves, I mean, they say I’ll be running again so it’s not much to be sad about, right?”
It happened early last month when Kotlewski was responding to a home for a domestic disturbance.
When he arrived, police said 21-year-old Kiante Tyler shot the officer multiple times.
Tyler was arrested as Kotlewski’s family said they were counting their blessings at the same time.
“I thought my son was going to pass. When I walked in that room and I seen him, I thought he was gone,’ Officer Kotlewski’s father, Arthur, said. “I’m grateful to God that he’s back. I know God had something to do with it.”
Thankful to be alive and back home, the father of three said he’s looking ahead to spending much-needed time with his family.
“If you get to roll the dice on nine bullets,” Kotlewski starts to say as his wife helps wipe his nose “Hey, what? Knock it off! I’m on the news right now!”
