To tackle the rising violence in the city, the mayor rolled out
a new gun crime task force in March
New York City Mayor Eric Adams ripped the Black Lives Matter
movement in the wake of the deadly subway shooting on Tuesday.
As reported by The Associated Press, the man responsible for the
subway attack, Frank R. James, 62, was taken into custody in
Manhattan’s East Village neighborhood on Wednesday after a brief
manhunt. Mayor Adams spoke about the arrest on NY1 while also
addressing the latest wave of violent gun crimes to rock the
city.
“By being consistent with our message, here is my question that
I put out to the city: I thought Black lives mattered. Where are
all those who stated Black lives matter?” asked Adams, as
reported by POLITICO. “Then go do an analysis of who was killed
or shot last night. I was up all night speaking to my commanders
in the Bronx and Brooklyn. The victims were Black. Many of the
shooters were Black.”
The mayor went on to ask, “Why are 16, 17, 18-year-olds out on
our streets armed with guns at 12 or 1 a.m.?”
To tackle the rising violence, Adams rolled out a new gun crime
task force in March, theGrio reported. The move fulfilled his
campaign pledge to revive a controversial NYPD gun crime task
force that was disbanded in 2020 under former Mayor Bill de
Blasio over public outcry about racial discrimination and police
brutality.
The gun crime units will have a strong presence “in about 30
precincts throughout Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and
Queens,” per The Hill, citing a Bloomberg report.
