Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD officials traded verbal jabs with advocates Wednesday over bail reform.
The mayor joined Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell at One Police Plaza on Aug. 3 to make a damning charge against repeat criminal offenders. Adams cited everyday New Yorkers as being the victims sandwiched between an ongoing contentious debate surrounding bail reform.
On one side the formerly incarcerated and advocate organizations are singing the praises of bail reform, while on the other side the mayor believes there are a certain few who are exploiting loopholes to constantly return to the streets to commit more crimes.
