After being elected, he vowed to be the new face of the Democratic Party and show America how to run a city.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last month, he and Gov. Hochul rolled out a plan to tackle crime and homelessness on the subways, saying a safe transit system was \u201cvital\u201d to the city\u2019s recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last Friday, amid fresh reports that crime is leap-frogging to new highs, Adams insisted the city is on the right track. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to get it right,\u201d he said then. \u201cTwo months in, we\u2019re executing our plan and we\u2019re going to defeat crime. I\u2019m clear on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Monday he announced that the first of his anti-gun squads will hit the streets next week after a \u201cvery thorough, well-organized training.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So Adams is correct that he has been clear about his plans and he continues to say all the right things. His determination to win the war against crime and disorder remains refreshing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But no honeymoon lasts forever and the fact that crime is still taking parabolic leaps suggests the perps aren\u2019t intimidated and maybe aren\u2019t convinced Adams means what he says.<\/p>\n<p>The NYPD reports that major crimes in the five boroughs spiked by an extraordinary 58% in February compared to last year. In response, former top cop Bill Bratton tweeted \u201cStaggering doesn\u2019t begin to describe the crime increase in New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the year through last Sunday, the department recorded a 47% increase in overall major crime, with huge leaps in robberies, grand larceny and auto thefts. Fortunately, there was just one more murder than a year ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cops_thwarted\"><\/span>Cops thwarted<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>And remember, too, that 2021 saw big increases in nearly every major category over 2020, and 2020 saw big increases over 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For example, there were 318 murders in 2019, 468 in 2020 and 485 in 2021.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/NYPDcops.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Police at the scene where a person was slashed on a number 1 subway train at the 181st Street Station in New York, NY.\" class=\"wp-image-21462352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/NYPDcops.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/NYPDcops.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/NYPDcops.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>NYPD officers must be able to do their jobs when it comes to enforcing the law.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Christopher Sadowski<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Thus, the city is now in the third year of a new crime wave.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The implications are enormous on both sides of the law. As one former member of Michael Bloomberg\u2019s administration put it, cops \u201cmay no longer have the muscle memory\u201d of how to turn the tide.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That view is held by many former officers as well, who believe the handcuffing of cops that became policy in the second term of Bill de Blasio\u2019s reign of error wiped out the department\u2019s training and ethos. It was nothing short of a culture change when, after more than two decades of being hailed and rewarded for reducing crime, cops were more incentivized to avoid trouble and \u00adcontroversy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The same culture change h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened to a new generation of criminals and would-be criminals who learned how to exploit police reticence.

The broken-windows theory revolutionized policing 30 years ago because it taught the city that big crimes follow when little crimes are ignored. Perps who start with shoplifting often graduate to violence and even homicide.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where the city is now. Crimes at all levels, from beating the subway fare to stealing cars, to rape, robbery and murder are on the march. Shootings happen on busy streets during daylight.<\/p>\n<p>The disgraceful actions taken in Albany to release most suspects without bail have contributed to the extreme lawlessness. The rapid release of the \u201cpoop perp\u201d is the latest example of how destructive Albany has been.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Poop_perp_out\"><\/span>\u2018Poop perp\u2019 out<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Frank Abrokwa, 37 years old and with a rap sheet going back more than 20 years, allegedly smeared his own feces on a woman in a Bronx subway station, made a joke about it at his arraignment \u2014 and was soon back on the street.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Frank-Abrokwa.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Frank Abrokwa \" class=\"wp-image-21462385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Frank-Abrokwa.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Frank-Abrokwa.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Frank-Abrokwa.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>\u201cPoop Perp\u201d Frank Abrokwa, who mockingly sneered \u201cF\u2013k you, bitch,\u201d at Bronx Judge Wanda Licitra during his arraignment, still walked out free thanks to New York\u2019s bail law.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">DCPI<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As my colleague Bob McManus wrote, \u201cpoop smearing may be <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>ly corrosive beyond comprehension, but it isn\u2019t a jail-worthy offense under New York\u2019s spanking new, thoroughly insane, bail laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All of which raises the bar for Adams and his police commissioner, Keechant Sewell.

On that score, Rudy Giuliani set the template.<\/p>\n<p>His mantra was, absent overwhelming evidence of police wrongdoing, cops deserve the benefit of the doubt in controversial shootings until the facts are known.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He argued convincingly that the rush to judgment against police is unfair to the individual officers involved and robs them of the same rights that all suspects have \u2014 the presumption of innocence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The rush also damages the morale of the entire NYPD, which, especially in this political climate, already feels it is guilty until proven innocent.<\/p>\n<p>None of this is new to Adams, who spent 22 years in uniform and has seen from the inside both the good and bad of policing. But his personal experience will carry him only so far in his new role.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now he must become the cops\u2019 biggest advocate. Just as de Blasio\u2019s inherent mistrust of the NYPD was a key ingredient in the city\u2019s decline, Adams must persuade the men and women in blue that he is on their side and they can count on him when the going gets tough.<\/p>\n<p>If he does that, he\u2019ll have a chance to beat back the crime wave and save New York.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shameless_clueless_Cuomeback\"><\/span>Shameless &amp; clueless Cuomeback\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The normal process for politicians who seriously screw up is to take a break from the spotlight, do some soul-searching and try to return a changed person.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That way, the public has reason to give him or her a second look.<\/p>\n<p>Not Andrew Cuomo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Andrew-Cuomo-6.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo sitting in his car outside of God's Battalion of Prayer Church at 661 Linden Blvd in Brooklyn, NY.
