Eric Adams demands help from Washington after cops shot
The New York Post ^ | January 23, 2022 | Sam Raskin

Posted on 01/23/2022 11:43:56 AM PST by MinorityRepublican

Mayor Eric Adams demanded assistance Sunday from Washington D.C. to block the “constant flow” of firearms into the Big Apple, days after an NYPD cop was killed and another officer was left fighting for his life after they were shot — declaring “the federal government must step in.”

“The police department is doing their job taking thousands of guns off the streets, yet each time you take a gun off, there’s a constant flow of new guns coming here,” he said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

“And if we don’t coordinate to go after those gun dealers that are supplying large cities in America such as New York, we are losing the battle, and the federal government must step in and play a role in doing so.”

During a subsequent TV appearance, Adams speculated that even though cops seize many firearms, they are quickly replenished by even more of them being transported to New York City.

On the day this idiot was sworn in as Mayor; The New York Post's front page was a pic of DeBlasio with the Headline

End of an Error"

I shared it on my FB Wall and captioned it

"The Beginning of a New Error"

Unfortunately, I had it right!

The last thing any city needs is the feds coming in to lend assistance. Adams needs to stand up and be a mayor, and not act like the helpless, moronic, pansy he seems to be.

Take the vermin criminals off the street and NYC’s problems will go away. Don’t ask DC (US taxpayers) for help. Solve your own problems NYC.

What the lawless city needs is law and order..

And Washington DC is the Last Place to find help for law and order..

It’s the HQ for lawlessness and disorder

Head on a swivel, gestapo, while you are just following orders at restaurants..

So the mayor admits he can’t handle managing his city and needs outside help.

Perhaps - although don’t completely discount stupidity. There is a World View issue here as well - the left believes that people are inherently good and only commit crime due to their environment, while Christians (and most on the right) know the problem is with people that are inherently evil. Therefore the left constantly look to the wrong solution to the problem - as others said here, the problem is the criminal, not the gun.

If he feels that way and is truly overwhelmed and is not up to the task. Then there is one last honorable thing he can do. Resign and have deputy mayor run the city in his place.

Your post is slightly ambiguous. People are inherently evil. They have to work hard to attempt to be good and do good; they have some success; but the temptation and incentive for evil is always there.

Not a word about the prosecutor who isn’t doing his job.

Not one word.

Fed help means they want FedGov to pass some laws.

“there’s a constant flow of new guns coming here ... go after gun dealers that are supplying large cities” ...

hey, eric, if the Feds can’t or won’t stop the dealers who supply TONS of illegal drugs to america’s large cities every day, then how are the Feds gonna stop a few hundred smuggled guns?

Eric’s an idiot. At least, DeBlasio was an arrogant leftist.

Eric IS AN IDIOT however I have NEVER SEEN a smart OR attractive democrat NEVER!! The quality of the people in Congress on the democrat side is absolutely disgraceful this SHOULD BE the best our nation has to offer!! The utter insanity of AOC having an economics degree makes me sick to my stomach the university should be utterly ashamed of itself!!

Boston University is very liberal, I wouldn’t read too much into it. Yes, AOC went there but in reality she was indoctrinated.
