Are you serious? Anyone with such low brow vocabulary should not be in the office. I know plenty of black and white people and none of them use such stupid language and they are not in the office of any kind. Grown people above age 12 dont talk like that.
Guys is a moron and was put in place to do what he is told. Like the moron before him.
I bet you have no problem with Trump saying he likes to grab women by the P, that's ok though

Looks like Albany dems are not interested in changing bail reform and Adams seems pretty calm about it. Not good.
“We should do a better job making sure dangerous people are not on the street, just as we should do a good job of making sure weapons are not on the streets,” Adams, who ran on the promise of reducing crime, said.
But to this point, state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, both Democrats, have held firm. They’ve argued that allowing judges to consider “dangerousness” would invite racial bias into the equation.
On Monday, however, Adams and the legislative leaders stood shoulder-to-shoulder in a show of Democratic unity after they met for a half hour in private.
“We know that we have to continue to look at how we can make the system better in the context of COVID, in the context of the proliferation of guns,” Stewart-Cousins said when asked about the issue of crime.
Adams said he came away from the meetings with the belief that legislative leaders are committed to balancing the issues of justice and safety – a common theme throughout the mayor’s public comments.
Basically Stewart-Cousins and Heastie believe that black criminals (the vast majority of criminals) should be able to commit crimes, even violent crimes, without any prison time. I don't know how Adams can combat this way of thinking but time is running out for him to do so.

Balancing the issues of justice and safety?!?! Since when are justice and safety so opposite of each other that they need to be "balanced"? I thought they were on the same side of balance, where getting justice for the victim automatically increases safety (because criminals can expect justice to be carried out against them, and therefore think a little harder about the decision to commit crime).
Pedestrians callously ran over...the woman in Chinatown...mass layoffs...
If Adams doesn't get a grip quick, the thread title will need to be changed from "disappointment" to "disaster".
