Liberal groups were quick to slam the effort, claiming the mayor\u2019s approach would cause &#8220;trauma,&#8221; the\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/11\/29\/nyregion\/nyc-mentally-ill-involuntary-custody.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.

Just days after Adams\u2019s inauguration, a homeless man with schizophrenia shoved a woman in front of an oncoming train, killing her. In April, a <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/yes-the-media-bury-the-race-of-murderers-if-theyre-not-white\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">black nationalist<\/a>, who had related his history of mental illness on social media, <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/brooklyn-subway-shooter-promoted-racial-violence-on-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shot 10 people<\/a> in a Brooklyn subway car.<\/p>\n<p>More than 3,000 people live on the streets of New York City, according to a January report. Many are mentally ill.<\/p>\n<p>Adams\u2019s order broadens officers\u2019 authority to remove potentially dangerous mentally ill individuals. Until now, police had only apprehended those who made an &#8220;overt act&#8221; likely to cause imminent harm\u2014a legal standard that Adams\u2019s office called a &#8220;persistent myth&#8221; among city law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>The directive empowers officers to follow existing state laws, which instruct police to apprehend anyone who appears to be mentally ill and is likely to cause harm. Adams said officers had been reluctant to fully enforce the law because they misunderstood its reach. It also forces hospitals to retain the mentally ill until their condition improves or they receive a long-term plan for treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Left-wing activists<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York City mayor Eric Adams (D.) on Tuesday empowered police to remove potentially dangerous mentally ill people from the street and commit them to psychiatric institutions without their consent, a move officials say will curb widespread homelessness and crime.<br \/>\nThe post Liberals Are Furious NYC Mayor Wants to Take Dangerous Mentally Ill People Off The Streets appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"featured_media":1757394,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1757391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1757391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/190"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1757391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1757391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1757394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1757391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1757391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1757391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
