Many individuals do not imagine Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams' subway crime plan will assist.

The Difficulty: The brand new plan from Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul to fight crime underground.
The subway-crime plan is one massive hoax. The Submit acquired it proper. There aren’t sufficient cops to guard every rider. (“Eric and Kathy: Extra Subway Cops & Cams,” Oct. 23).
And releasing criminals the identical day they're arrested, even for violent crimes, simply sends them proper again to the subway.
Hochul solely cares about re-election. As quickly as she has it within the bag, you'll be informed subway crime is just a fantasy.

New York Metropolis right now has weak management in terms of the mayor and governor. Placing extra cops and cameras within the subways is just not going to unravel the issue of violent crime.
Those that are eligible for retirement within the NYPD are calling it quits as a result of high-level politicians don’t help them. It’s a dog-and-pony present proper now with no true plan of motion to fight crime — not solely within the subways however in the remainder of town.
Sincere, hardworking residents should stay in concern of crime as they go to work or simply head out to purchase a newspaper.
If you wish to go after criminals, you first should help the NYPD. Then change our bail-reform legal guidelines and change weak district attorneys and judges to maintain violent offenders in jail — not allow them to out the identical day to commit extra crimes.

This clueless mayor thinks extra police additional time and 25 beds at two hospitals is sufficient to cut back subway violence.
Initially, what occurred to the illustrious Homeless Outreach Items? What occurred to all of the mental-health staff within the Thrive NYC program?
Extra police additional time? Yeah: The vacations are coming and cops want cash for presents.

Had Eric Adams been the chief of the Transit Bureau within the NYPD and informed his bosses that a 40% improve in crime within the subways was solely six crimes a day, he would have been relieved of command.
Crime shouldn't be a political challenge. The mayor must name out Democratic friends by identify to vary prison justice “reform.”
He must name out district attorneys by identify to criminally prosecute theft-of-service expenses (also called farebeating).
He must coordinate with the DAs the instant removing of these trespassing within the system and cost them.
If they're clearly mentally in poor health, take them to the hospital. That might clear our precarious system of harmful individuals.
And that needs to be step one: Enable the police to be proactive and filter the system.

“Cops, Cameras, Care”: What a handy guide a rough identify to fight the ever-worsening crime wave above and beneath floor.
In any case, as Mayor Adams acknowledged final week, it’s solely our notion that crime has elevated. I suppose Gov. Hochul’s notion should match that of the general public she has failed at defending.
As an alternative of firing Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and addressing the no-bail legal guidelines, this new program will staff the MTA and NYPD police to assist those that journey the subways with secure transport. Fantastic!
Now, how a few snappy identify for the crime and homelessness above floor? Perhaps “Construct Again Higher”? Oh, wait. That’s taken.

Why is anybody shocked about rising subway crime? The lunatics are in control of the asylum. I took the subway to highschool within the Eighties, when the Guardian Angels and NYPD stored trains secure.
Lawsuits and violence in opposition to our police have turn into the norm. Respect is just not emphasised. DA Bragg is AWOL.
Mayor Adams did the reverse of what an elected official ought to do: he appointed associates unprepared for his or her roles. We, the taxpayers, are paying their salaries.
Adams’ incompetence on crime will proceed. A leopard by no means adjustments its spots. Vote these enabling, mendacity liberals and their insurance policies out.
