The Challenge: A taxi driver who was allegedly killed when he confronted passengers who tried to rob him.
The Submit headline and the heartbreaking photograph of Abigail Barwuah clearly depicts the utter failure of Mayor Adams’ administration in addressing the crime challenge (“ ‘Justice,’ ” Aug. 15).
Adams is dropping policemen by early retirement and has misplaced the town consequently. I feel all of us had better expectations of his mayoralty, however I don’t suppose he has the wanted fortitude and talent to do what must be accomplished.
Finally, he has abdicated his accountability in conserving the town protected. Very disappointing. I can’t think about the ache the spouse and little ones are experiencing. God bless them.

My condolences to the household of slain cabbie Kutin Gyimah.
What a global shame New York Metropolis has change into. There may be loads of blame to go round, however that won't resolve something.
It's time for the mayor to placed on his big-boy pants and stroll the stroll as an alternative of speaking the speak.
Mr. Mayor — you, the district attorneys and the remainder of the easy-on-crime politicians as soon as once more have blood in your palms.

A hardworking cabbie was killed and 6 males had been shot within the metropolis the opposite evening.
It seems to be like our mayor has not lived as much as his guarantees about conserving our metropolis protected. These crimes and shootings maintain occurring throughout our metropolis.
The underside line is: We'd like extra police on the market to guard the folks of our metropolis. Our metropolis has change into a haven for violent crime.
I've lived in New York Metropolis all my life. It’s now very harmful strolling round our metropolis, the place the chances are extraordinarily excessive that one can get hit by a stray bullet.
Mayor Adams, that is your metropolis, and it’s you who has to place a cease to all of the violence and shootings. It’s in your palms. Do one thing to cease this.

State Senate Majority Chief Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Adams and Gov. Hochul all have blood on their palms. The every day reviews of harmless New Yorkers being attacked and slaughtered by no means stop.
Say what you need in regards to the days of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Police Commissioners Bernard Kerik, Invoice Bratton, Howard Safir and Ray Kelly — crime was down and handled appropriately. Criminals knew of penalties.
Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell has terrific concepts, however these above her rely votes, not our bodies — and never the lives they're tacitly destroying. The system is damaged due to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and former Mayor Invoice de Blasio.
I used to be a witness to the Nineteen Sixties by the early 2000s in New York Metropolis. I welcome a giant change.

Yellow taxi driver Kutin Gyimah was killed early Saturday in Queens when he chased down passengers who tried to rob him. There's a clear video of the chase on the road in Queens.
Now let’s simply say there had been plain-clothes law enforcement officials in an unmarked automobile who noticed this chase on the road. The speedy motion they'd have taken may have probably saved Gyimah’s life.
I do know for a undeniable fact that 1000's of those statement arrests had been made when plain-clothes officers in varied makes and fashions of autos had been patrolling our 5 boroughs.

This younger girl and her youngsters bear the ache of the wanton, reckless, emboldened felony scourge that has plagued New York Metropolis.
The Black Lives Matter charade is only a fleeting reminiscence. The hypocrisy of leftists solely destroys those they so fervently profess to guard.
This younger girl, like so many others, is now burdened with elevating a household with no father and the silence once more is deafening. Adams is a joke, interval.
