The Problem: Mayor Adams’ reversal of his plan to have officers patrol the subway solo after one was assaulted.

The ill-conceived plan to place solo patrols on the subways produced the inevitable outcome on Day One among its implementation — an officer assaulted and severely injured (“ ‘First day’ solo subway cop assaulted,” June 22).

Solo patrols may need been possible again when criminals really revered the police, however former Mayor Invoice de Blasio & Co. put an finish to that in brief order.

The mutants who infest our metropolis are keenly conscious of the shackles which have been stupidly positioned on the police, and they're taking full benefit and working amok.

An efficient NYPD is the one hope for restoring order to this metropolis. Not one of the crime-fighting methods being put out will probably be profitable until laws is enacted that protects and helps the women and men on the entrance traces who're attempting to do what has turn out to be an inconceivable job.

One other brainstorm by Mayor Adams! Let’s put cops on patrol within the subway system solo.

What an idiotic thought, and as predicted, a police officer on solo patrol was assaulted.

Get up, Adams, and let the police division run itself. Clearly you haven't any thought what you’re doing to fight crime. Why not attain out to another retired NYPD to allow them to let you know tips on how to take the town again and make it secure once more?

Adams’ current choice to place cops on solo patrols confirmed how out-of-touch he's with the town.

It’s true that some residents don’t journey the subway due to crime, however he wants to start out with tackling the fundamentals, like fare evasion, recidivist offenders and the homelessness and psychological sickness that rule the town.

He must get the district attorneys to prosecute offenders. He ought to take a subway prepare to Police Plaza and see the cops who've been killed within the line of responsibility since 2000. Go to the foyer and have a look at all of the plaques that fill the partitions.

The Problem: Success Academy’s choice to finish its requirement for youths to be vaxxed or examined for COVID.

Success Academy colleges have overwhelmed out the town Division of Schooling in reaching the conclusion that making college students take the COVID­-19 vaccine is a horrible coverage that oldsters and children don’t need (“Success Academy to carry pupil COVID-19 vaccine mandate,” June 20).

Big credit score for this coverage victory goes to anti-mandate activists.

The vaccine mandate created an environment by which unvaccinated mother and father and college students had been made to really feel ignored and bullied. I’m so glad to know that, a minimum of at Success Academy, these mandates for youths at the moment are a factor of the previous.

The faculties chancellor and our mayor now must do the identical as a result of as everyone knows, there may be by no means any scenario the place bullying is OK. Ultimately, all our kids deserve an apology.

Thanks for reporting on Success Academy lifting its COVID-19 vaccine mandates for youngsters.

This was a really disturbing pattern, and I used to be heartened to see that a group of devoted mother and father had been in a position to categorical their considerations to the varsity board, and that the board heard their well-reasoned arguments and responded with the suitable choice.

Youngsters don't want these injections, and testing and masking are additionally not wanted for youngsters.
