Adams wants the public to think bag checking is a crime-fighting tool, but it ain't. It's just another level of his ineptitude. And because he knows he's not the smartest tool in the box, he's hired a bunch of dummies and weaklings. Just look at them; who is going to challenge his arrogant ass. And furthermore, his hiring mostly females in his admin has nothing to do with diversity equity, and inclusion! I think Jordan Neely's uncle hit the nail on the head when he said, "All Eric Adams do is party and bullshit!" And he ain't lying. His ass is ridiculous AF!
