Call your legislative representative State and Assembly representatives to undo the reform.

[@rjohnson9543]

Worthless mayor. It is was his fault. Adams should resign.

[@YvaineNWMsGibbs]

No, it's not! Please put the blame where it belong. Remember Donovan Richards current Queens Borough President standing behind Adams, Jummane Williams, and bafoon and worst mayor bill debladio and his cronies are responsible for the pushed on this current bail reform. All thecDA's except for educated fool Braggs told the legislators this reform was wrong!

[@sammydread9237]

How is this the mayor fault, I’m lost so let me know

[@rjohnson9543]

@sammydread9237 The Mayor has the primary responsibility of protecting the citizens. He is weak on enforcing the law. He does not apply pressure to City Council to reform bail laws and funding for more police officers. He is weak on pressuring the DA to pursue tougher sentencing. He is weak on the Governor to remove sanctuary city policies. He is weak on informing Congress and the President that immigrants are overwhelming the city with costs and major rise in crime. He should be doing all of these things and more every day. He is responsible for the safety of every New Yorker, since his election he has not done his job satisfactorily. He is a follower not a Leader.

How the mayor is a former NYPD captain and have no "influence" over the court system? I'm so happy I left New York over 20 years ago😮😢.

[@rainbowskies5796]

Yeah and this former NYPD captain was filmed calling his white police officers “crackers”

[@marialozado4143]

This criminal, Guy Rivera had 21 prior arrests, yes you heard me correctly 21prior arrests. My question is, why in the world was this criminal out on streets? This has gotten so out of hand. We lose a police officer to a criminal that should not have been on the streets in to begin with. We are dropping the ball big time.

[@user-pq8qv3fp3y]
