New York City Mayor Eric Adams on his approach to crime, COVID restrictions, and his self-described"swagger"New York City has had all kinds of larger-than-life mayors, but never anyone quite like Eric Adams. Dapperly dressed, with a pierced ear and dramatic life story, he says and does things that a lot of other Democratic politicians would not. He talks openly about being a victim of police brutality as a teenager, who then went on to become a police officer.
Eric Adams: No. I don't believe so. When that shooting happened on Tuesday, Wednesday people were back on the train. Adams is nothing if not confident. Watching him walk down the street, you'd never notice the weight of the city's problems on his shoulders. When he was 15, he and an older brother were arrested for criminal trespassing and taken to the 103rd precinct in Jamaica, Queens, where he says police officers beat them.Every time I would see a police car I relived the beating. Every time I heard a siren.
Adams at vigil: And I'm saying… don't give up. Don't become so frustrated and disenchanted to allow the violent people around us to do what they think they can do. Adams speaking outside 103rd precinct: There is a covenant that we are establishing. We will give them the tools and the support that they need, but we are also going to hold them to a high standard.
Anderson Cooper: A federal judge has ruled that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they can't require masks on airplanes and other transport. You think [it's] a mistake to not require masks on planes, on trains, and in high traffic areas?
