'This isn't brain surgery': Ex-NYPD Commish Ray Kelly slams Mayor Adams on crime
Former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly slammed Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday, accusing him of dropping the ball on rampant crime in the Big Apple and insisting, “This isn’t brain surgery.
“This isn’t brain surgery,” the former top cop said. “You go back and look at the things we were doing then and you re-implement them. But apparently, the mayor doesn’t want to do this.Kelly took particular issue with runaway subway and bus crimes in the five boroughs, saying the deployment of transit cops has to be “re-examined” by “an outside agency.
“I think they need a fresh look at the transit system because we know the subways are the lifeblood of New York,” he said. “People are still not going to get on them.” Kelly served as police commissioner in the early 1990s before moving on to several federal posts in customs enforcement and anti-terrorism assignments under then-President Bill Clinton.
