1. A policeman for 22 years....of course he cut the school budget

4. What does being a policeman have to do with an opinion on education?

7. I do not get why he was elected. And clearly, an ex-cop has other priorities as shown

how he treated education in the budget.

[brooklynite]

9. He was elected because crime was the top issue in NYC at the time.

That doesn't mean that Adams would have only one priority.

[Demsrule86]

13. He can say what he wants...he cut education for cops...who IMHO get plenty of money.

You get who you voted for I guess. I bet New York will regret electing this man.

2. Boy, NY got a pig in a poke with that one!

3. And if the "reallocation" had gone the other way?

We'd hear about nothing except "They're defunding the police!"

5. It's weird how the tweet links to a headline from a right wing rag

instead of to a more reliable news source.

6. He obviously did something they liked

10. Perhaps because not everyone worries about the source of a story as long as its accurate.

Or perhaps because it was the first citation she found.

Or perhaps because it provided the concise summary she was looking for.

14. I don't trust right wing publications not to put a spin on the story or to be accurate...so I avoid

them.

[lapucelle]

15. But the headline is not accurate. The budget is the product of the Mayor and the City Council.

You’re probably right that it provided the concise summary that *she was looking for*. That doesn’t make it accurate.

8. A hammer looking for nails to hit

[MurrayDelph]

11. New Yorkers always end up hating their mayor

Eric Adams has set a new speed record.

[Polybius]

12. Bloomberg and Koch were the best

Loved those guys.
