NYC Council Members Join Mayor Adams for Eye-Opening Police Ride-Along

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.

"NYC Mayor Adams Faces Showdown with City Council Over Controversial Vetoed Bills"

Mayor Eric Adams needs to persuade two NYC Council members to switch their votes in order to prevent a potential veto override of a controversial cop bill that requires detailed reports after every street stop. The bill, which Adams vetoed, was passed with a veto-proof majority, and he needs to ensure council members don't change their votes. The mayor believes he could potentially survive the move after a recent council assignment shakeup and the addition of new members. However, it remains uncertain who might join Adams in his crusade against the bill, as Speaker Adrienne Adams has closed ranks to whip up the two-thirds majority needed to sidestep the mayor's veto.
