Loree Sutton, who\u2019s running to replace Mayor de Blasio on the Democratic ticket, also decried Adams\u2019 advice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy heart goes out to Shatavia Walls and her family,\u201d said Sutton, who served as the city\u2019s first commissioner of veterans services under de Blasio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a reason police officials say, \u2018Don\u2019t take the law into your own hands.\u2019 As a former police officer, Eric Adams demonstrated exceptionally poor judgment in advising his constituents to intervene in actions that are against the law, placing individuals at risk,\u201d Sutton said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, President Trump on Monday, reacting to The Post\u2019s front-page story about Walls\u2019 killing, warned Gov. Andrew Cuomo to get a grip on crime in New York or he\u2019ll send in the feds.<\/p>\n<p>And billionaire grocer John Catsimatidis, who\u2019s eyeing another run for mayor, also mourned the tragic incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a horrible situation.
