He added that the coverage &#8220;plays on your psyche.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Adams was responding to a Siena College poll that found 41 percent of New York State residents have never felt as concerned about their safety as they do now. The vast majority, 87 percent, said crime is a very or somewhat serious problem in the city and state.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know it\u2019s going to take time,&#8221; Adams said. &#8220;But if you lead off every day with some of the horrific incidents that take place in the city with 8.5 million people, there\u2019s a feeling that you have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even Alvin Bragg, the city&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/after-a-surge-in-violent-crime-progressives-win-big-in-pennsylvanias-largest-cities\/\" title=\"After A Surge In Violent Crime, Progressives Win Big In Pennsylvania\u2019s Largest Cities\">progressive district attorney<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/07\/12\/manhattan-da-alvin-bragg-admits-he-fears-nyc-subway-crime\/?utm_source=twitter&#038;utm_campaign=nypost&#038;utm_medium=social\">admitted<\/a> this week he is fearful of crime on the subway. &#8220;I know the statistics that transit crime is down, but when one of my family members gets on the train, I, too, get a knot in my stomach,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the crime worries, the New York Police Department is struggling. A report from March showed New York City police officers are <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/unfixable-new-york-city-cops-are-fleeing-the-force-in-droves\/\">resigning<\/a> in record numbers. The NYPD at the same time <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/nypd-lowers-fitness-standards-to-recruit-more-women\/\">lowered<\/a> its fitness requirements to bring more women on the force.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Adams caught negative press last week when the <em>New York Times<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/eric-adamss-fallen-cop-photo-is-a-fake\/\">reported<\/a> that he lied about a photograph of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/police-officer-among-victims-of-shooting-near-denver-colo\/\" title=\"Police officer among victims of shooting near Denver, Colo.\">fallen police officer<\/a>. Adams has frequently shown the photo and says he has kept it with him for decades in his wallet. In reality, his office printed the photo from Google and altered it to make it appear faded.<\/p>\n<p>Adams isn&#8217;t the only official under fire. City Council digital press aide Ember Ollom was called out by the city&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chicago-police-union-president-far-left-infiltrated-capitol-protests\/\" title=\"Chicago Police Union President: Far-left infiltrated Capitol protests\">police union<\/a> after a tweet from 2020 resurfaced. &#8220;I would like it on the record that I would like you all to throw more bottles at cops and torch more vans,&#8221; Ollom said in the May 2020 tweet, the <em>New York Post<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/07\/06\/nyc-council-staffer-urged-violence-against-police-during-george-floyd-protests\/\">reported<\/a>.
