“It is our city against the killers,” an emotional NYC Mayor Eric Adams – himself a retired cop – said Friday night after an NYPD officer’s murder.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has only been in office for three weeks, and already five NYPD officers have been shot, one fatally Friday night.
An emotional, enraged mayor stepped to a podium at Harlem Hospital Friday night, with one officer being prepared for burial and another fighting for his life, and delivered a powerful message to the city.
