Many who are escorted out of subways by transit workers come back later or go to another station.\u00a0 As one officer told reporters \u201cFor us, it\u2019s frustrating. We\u2019re just playing chess with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like most folks fond of the Big Apple, I was delighted to see voters make a statement last fall by electing a tough-talking ex-cop to run the city. \u00a0 It now appears that Mayor Adams is less than advertised.\u00a0 The city does not need another liberal politician more concerned about avoiding media criticism than protecting lives and safety of New Yorkers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Major crimes in New York City jumped by almost 60% last month compared to February 2021,\u00a0 yet the new Mayor elected to clean things up seems to be dragging his feet.\u00a0 The city saw unprecedented increases in shootings, homicides, burglaries and car thefts in 2020 as new state and city policies eliminated bail for most arrestees, instituted pandemic releases of thousands of offenders, abandoned proactive policing and lowered the consequences for repeatedly committing crimes.\u00a0 Continued increases last year fueled the election of ex-cop Eric Adams as Mayor after he campaigned on the promise to crack down on criminals.\u00a0 But after more than 2 1\/2 months in the Mayor&#8217;s office little has changed.\u00a0 Emma Tucker and Mark Morales of CNN report that murders, robberies, major theft, rape and transit crimes are all up.\u00a0 The criminals don&#8217;t seem very concerned that Mayor Adams is going drop the hammer on them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NYC Crime Continues to Rise as Mayor Dawdles - Crime &amp;
