Hello, 911? Brand New NYC Mayor’s Crime-Fighting Skills Come in Handy His First Hour on the Job

Only minutes on the job, New York City’s new Mayor, and former cop, Eric Adams, determined what his top priorities are: Crime fighting and, of course, being a punching bag for his constituents. This from Victoria Taft on pjmedia.com.

NYC headed back to the bad old days during the disastrous Bill de Blasio administration.

There have been 5 million-plus New Yorkers hoping and praying for change. (Note: The population of NYC is near 8.3 million. I’m assuming 40 percent are part of the problem.)

And at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, New Yorkers were given an answer to their hopes and heavenly inquiries. They now have a chance to turn the page on their beloved city.

Hours after taking his oath of office, Adams headed to work—his first full day on the job.

As he stood with his security team, an observer took video of the NYC mayor watching three men punching each other in a brawl. Adams called 911 to get the uniforms out there to stop it.

“The new mayor called 911 to report ‘an assault in progress,’” reported NBC News New York.

The previous excuse for a mayor, de Blasio, would have remained seated and inattentive in the comfort of his chauffeur-driven limo.

However, Adams entered his subway train car and was promptly heckled by a mentally ill homeless man.

Adams [took note and] said he wanted mental health crews on the subway trains more often.

Also, the new NYC mayor was hit up by an Amazon warehouse worker, who implored him to unionize the company.

Amazon is the favorite hobby horse issue for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has tried to keep the company from operating in the city because she doesn’t like jobs.

God speed with that, Mr. Mayor.

The new mayor then visited a wounded police officer who’d been shot on New Year’s Day.

Adams tweeted, “We are happy but angry today. Happy to report that our officer injured last night is recovering and in good spirits. Angry that someone brought in the New Year with violence. We’ll find the gun AND the shooter. We’ll bring anyone who thinks they can attack our city to justice.”

Does this sound like the right way to run a city, or what?

The officer who was shot was sleeping in his car between shifts.

New York cops have had to work extra shifts because of $1 billion in defunding and COVID mandates.

“The officer woke up around 6:15 a.m. with pain in his head and observed his car window had been shattered,” ABC 7 New York reported. “He then walked into the 25th Precinct where other officers saw he was bleeding from an injury to his head,” they reported, but things got weirder. Thanks to a “miraculously deflected bullet” the officer didn’t die.

Noteworthy, and as reported at Red State, democrat Adams, who won 67 percent of the vote, “pledged to keep in place de Blasio’s completely ineffective, business-crushing vaccine mandate.”

The former Brooklyn Burrough president will have to entice New Yorkers who fled to red states to come back to the city, end the useless COVID mandates, end the requirement to show East German traveling papers to go to restaurants and gyms, stop conscripting businesses into the COVID Stasi, and show people that shooting at cops will have consequences.

Oh, and the cops who came to break up that brawl? They got there after it was over and didn’t investigate enough. ABC 7 New York reported that “the fight ended and two of the men left by the time two police patrol cars arrived. Officers spoke to the remaining man but stayed in their car, and Adams told reporters he would have investigated more had he been the officer on the scene.” Ouch.

This reads like Adams has an entire culture of policing to disinfect, as well as cleaning up the mess caused by eight years of de Blasio at the helm. How long will Adams require before determining he must rid the city of each of de Blasio’s asbackward practices?

God speed Mayor Adams. May you show the world your police instincts can overcome the taint of your democrat party affiliation.
