There are times when New York grieves as a city, when tragic events permeate the collective consciousness of Gotham and color our daily sojourns and interactions.
The terrible murders of New York Police Department Officers Wilbert Mora and Jason Rivera have been just such an event. The loss of these two brave public servants, both in their 20s, has brought home how deeply unsafe New Yorkers have begun to feel on their streets.
On Wednesday, at his funeral, Mora’s sister asked how many cops have to die "before the system changes?" It is a question on the lips of patrons of coffee houses, riders of subways, and neighbors on stoops.
The deaths of these officers seem just as wrong, just as much a result of poor leadership as the general condition of the city newly awash in violent crime.
This palpable sense of fear, unthinkable just a few short years ago, was a big reason why former cop Eric Adams beat out a cadre of anti-police progressive candidates to secure the mayor’s office last November. Since then, things have only gotten worse.
Rhetorically, Adams has said many of the right things about bringing back plainclothes anti-crime units, about openness to implementing Stop, Question, and Frisk, about bail reform, and about showing respect and thanks to the NYPD every day. But now that talk has to turn into action, no matter how much the far left may object.
This is exactly the message that Adams needs to send when President Biden visits New York on Thursday in an attempt to show a doubtful nation that the White House takes crime seriously.
This city knows what it takes to combat crime. It takes aggressive and proactive policing, it takes actual jail sentences for violent offenders,

If anyone believes the sincerity of Adams I got a bridge...
He’s reading from a notebook. Criminals need something to do.
Think what you will about Rudy Giuliani, but he brought the hammer down in the 1990s, let the police do their job, had DAs that prosecuted, and crime dropped an estimated 30-40% by the time he left office. All his credit? No, but he supported all the moving pieces that made law enforcement real.
A family member works in NYC.
Her HR dept has started emails about bringing people back in mid February.
They’re in for a shock.
NYC based employees are VERY scared to go back.
Braindead will use the opportunity to go after guns.
Constitutional Carry would solve the problems.
Wild West for a short time, ‘til the wingnuts all get taken down.
Then, peace throughout the land.
If they would (slowly) hang anyone who kills a cop would slow things down. But what they want is more crime and moe killing so they can install a National Police State. Which still won’t work cause it the killings stopped people would want to disband the National Police.

Curtis Sliwa was the law and order candidate, not Adams. That Adams beat Sliwa is down to the congenital stupidity of New Yorkers. So far Adams seems to think that getting in front of a microphone and Talkin’ Real like some kind of neighborhood guy is how you lead.
While the “Wild West” was a fertile field for tv westerns, the facts are that the homicide rate in western territories was decidedly lower than in many cities today. Everyone armed and carrying openly as a matter of course, tended to keep people polite.
Adams to Biden: “Gimme some money!”.
Yup. Gunfight at the OK Corral was 140 years ago, and people still talk about it. Three people died. If only three people died on a weekend in Chicago, it would be newsworthy. And nobody would remember in a month.

WATCH: NYC’s New Mayor Brags About ‘Kicking Those Crackers’ ass
New York City’s new mayor is a tough-talker. Eric Adams, who posed as a “moderate” during the recent mayoral elections, has gone on to disappoint voters by maintaining the extremist policies of his failed socialist predecessor Bill de Blasio.
In a recent talk delivered on black businesses and entrepreneurship, the former NYPD captain shared his philosophy of dealing with white people, while using what many consider to be an ethnic slur.
“Every day in the police department, I kicked those crackers’ ass,” Adams boasted.
Joel Fischer reacted to the video on Twitter.
