What’s really worth noting is that $17 million is the amount of money Eric Adams cut from re-entry programs for people at Rikers, only for New Yorkers have to shell out the exact same amount of money to pay for NYPD’s misconduct settlements.
Despicable--but not surprising--to see the NYPD weaponize the death of one of their own to lie that bail reform is to blame. The alleged shooter *had bail set* in the high amount of $75,000. Had nothing whatsoever to do with bail reform, which only affects low level offenses.
Few ppl know that Rikers is a PRE-TRIAL detention center. The ppl there have not been convicted of a crime, they’re awaiting trial, and they’re DYING waiting. Our mayor Eric Adams doesn’t care about them but I’d like you to hear from a mother mourning her son at a rally we held

What he did was bad. And he's paying for it, because 25 years is a long ass time to be behind bars.
