NYC Council Members Join Mayor Adams for Eye-Opening Police Ride-Along
Originally Published 1 year ago — by New York Post
Mayor Eric Adams took eight NYC Council members on a police ride-along in an effort to sway their votes and kill a controversial cop reporting bill he vetoed. The proposed "How Many Stops" bill would require cops to report even minor interactions, which Adams argues would burden the police force with unnecessary paperwork. While some council members found the experience eye-opening, others, including members of the black subcommittee, pushed back against the ride-along offer. One council member, Yusef Salaam, backed out of the ride-along after being pulled over by police the night before, expressing dissatisfaction with the encounter.
