Eric Adams challenges liberal city council: ‘Police must not be restrained
New York City Mayor Eric Adams Vetoes Bills to Protect Police Officers
New York City Mayor Eric Adams made a bold move on Friday by vetoing two bills aimed at placing restrictions on police officers. In a strong statement, Adams rejected the ban on solitary confinement, known as Intro 549-A, in order to safeguard jail workers from violent detainees. As a former New York Police Department captain, Adams emphasized the importance of not hindering the police force.
“We cannot handcuff the police,” he said. “We want to handcuff bad people who are violent.”
The second bill that faced the chopping block was the How Many Stops Act, which would have required officers to keep more detailed records of the individuals they stopped throughout the day. Adams argued that this bill would burden officers with unnecessary paperwork, ultimately compromising the safety of the city.
Despite the mayor’s veto, the city council remains determined to push these bills forward. Both bills received enough votes last month to meet the two-thirds majority required for passage.
Strong Opposition and Plans for Override
The council responded to the mayor’s veto by defending their commitment to community safety. They stated, “Anyone implying that this body does not prioritize the safety of our communities is misrepresenting our work and misleading New Yorkers.” Council Speaker Adrienne Adams expressed disappointment in the mayor’s decision, highlighting the negative impact on Black and Latino communities who often face the brunt of police stops. She also emphasized the harmful effects of solitary confinement, both physically and psychologically.
Despite the opposition, the city council is determined to override the mayor’s veto and ensure that these bills become law.
