Eric Adams needs to step up and state this will never be tolerated anymore in his administration. Or would it only be a big deal if a white Trump supporter did it and not a person of color?

What's Adams going to do when his buddy Fat Alvin will instantly release the poor, oppressed criminal. Maybe give him taxpayer funded reparations for all the suffering this systemically racist society is causing.
Adams went to the scene but he has to get the crazies out of the subway. Why doesn’t a busy station like Times Square have cops on the scene to deal with the deranged before they kill someone?
Mayor Eric Adams said the NYPD will continue to ensure the transit system is safe for commuters following the grisly shoving of a woman onto the subway tracks and toward the path of an incoming train at the Times Square subway station Saturday morning.
The victim, an Asian woman in her 40s and living in New York City, was on the southbound platform when she was suddenly shoved into the Q/R tracks by the suspect in an "unprovoked" incident, according to NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell at a news conference Saturday. A Q train arriving into the station hit the woman, and emergency responders pronounced her dead at the scene.
The suspect--who may be homeless and was known by police--quickly turned himself in to investigators at a local transit precinct. Investigators determined the suspect had harassed another woman, who was not Asian, before approaching after the victim who was killed. The names of the suspect or victim were not released.
"This is a safe system because of the job of the transit officers have carried out," Adams said at the briefing inside the Times Square station. "We're going to continue to enhance, to deal with the mental health crisis that we have in our system."
Charges against the suspect are pending, according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who was at the briefing.
The incident was just as difficult for the train operator, according to Canella Gomez, vice president of the union representing subway operators and conductors.
"I have spoken to the train operator. He is at Bellevue Hospital receiving the medical assistance he needs and deserves to make sure he is okay," Gomez said her in statement. "With a new Mayor it is time to come up with a real plan that works to deal with the homeless situation in the subway system."
No, I have no evidence to suggest race played a factor. My statement is aimed more so at the silence by the usual suspects who would have been decrying "white supremacists" had the perp been white, regardless of evidence of racial motivation. And the media would be backing them up.
What good are cops when a crazy person pushes a person on tracks and then turns himself in.
You thinkcrazy bum cares if there are cops around ?
Round them up and lock them up in
Metal institutions.
Avoid subway at all cost.
