New York City Mayor Eric Adams was elected promising to clean up soaring crime. In an exclusive interview, Lester Holt presses the mayor on whether he has been successful in that mission, and more. “I’m not successful until every New Yorker feels safe,” Adams says. He offers some sharp criticism of progressive prosecutors, saying he agrees with Republicans. Adams says he’s not veering to the right on the issue. “I’m just tired of New Yorkers having to swing for their safety all the time,” he says. » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

Mayor Eric Adams On Rising Crime In New York City: Extended Interview
source
The Mayor Should Resign, He Said a Racist Slur. #Resign
Ive lived in nyc 40 yrs. I have never seen a far right extremist. Its chock full of blm, antifa, anarchists, socialists and soft on crime lefties tho.
This mayor is a phony. He took jet ski lessons over the holiday while 50 people got shot in nyc.
Apparently, as he's told us, he's got swag, whatever that is.
Sadly, swag in itself does not inspire confidence.
His view of the Criminal Justice system is 100% pro-Cop. As per the usual cop-think, "guilty until proven innocent" is his go-to position.
So, they're walking in the Bronx surrounded by quite a few bodyguards.
What message does that give?
Stop and frisk work when Mike Bloomberg was a mayor he didn't care who talking and it works
Trumpeters and their Supreme Court toadies undermine state and city efforts to combat violent crime.
At least he calls it like it is. If they continue to let certain individuals free right away problems will get worse.
Haiti need justice for president jovenel Moise please help us
The NY Senate and Assembly care way more about the rights of criminals than they do about protecting law abiding citizens
It's a very dangerous city. Iraq is safer
Issue is SOFT District Attorneys and weak judges….. the laws are there, but they aren't using them. Restorative justice is a F——G joke. It is a green light for criminals to do whatever they want.
It is nice to see mayors like Adams and London Breed in SF stand up to the weak DAs and calling it out.
NY is very safe. Just the other day a store clerk was charged with murder after he defended himself from a vicious criminal attack. NY stands for criminal rights
Mr mayor we American begging you please start back the stop and frisk please please it works
Besides send hundreds of letters and emails to the state's attorney
You puke people just keep stealing and I am old what am I to do
He speaking facts as a democrats their are letting pppls out and the republicans are giving guns to everyone he is right ppls
your no bail policy is the worst thing ever
The subways are not safe at all
Oh Bull crap it is not a safe city no way
Get rid of the DA there he is part of the problem New York is not safe at all
NYC is almost worse than it was in the 80s. It's a horror show.
As a New Yorker I really like Mayor Adams so far. He is striking a good balance
Eric adam is a filthy filthy crime boss
It’s not a dangerous city? A bodega cashier just got charged with murder because some criminal tried to rob him and he defended himself!
Mayor Eric Adams… don't let these Fox News and these radio racist.. like Giuliani push you into a corner.. always be in control of the narrative.. enough said.
Talk the talk but does not walk the walk
Maybe if you could defend yourself in NYC.
What a 🤡
when a criminal attack you, you just die n don't defend yourself, you'll get send to jail in NY, like the bodega's worker.
Yeah, good luck with that. NYC is a dump like no other place on earth.
Good interview with Eric. He needs to bring down the shootings in the bad areas of Nyc.
My life has totally changed since I started an investment of $6,000 and now earning over $ 57,000
The far right wants everyone to have a gun???? Well yeah, the law abiding citizens should have a gun, then gang bangers and criminals can be gotten rid of……………permanently.
Progressives are the problem!
New York City today is what happens when one lets the police be mayor. Hitler Adams terrorized a street musician – had him put in handcuffs for playing music at Herald Square.
Maybe the reason the reported crime rate is down is so many people are engaged in various 'escapes from New York'
1984 was the Iran contra crack era which may account for the higher crime rate then – the police murdered people like Elinor Bumpers for sport. 'She had a knife'!
VIOLENCE IS A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE!
Lester Holt has integrity.
