Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
NYC Mayor Adams on Bribery Charges, Corruption, & Which Borough Has The Baddest Shawtys

We have six felonies a day. Out of 4.6 million, I don't feel like going to work. I'm pissed off. People on the subway. It's a miracle that we're able to move that volume of people every day and deal with the mental health issues down in the subway system. People are attracted to that.

So now ask yourself, because I'm big on that. Back in 2022, when I said, listen, we have to deal with the perception and the reality. People attacked me when I said that. They said, well, perception doesn't matter. I said, yes, it does. Perception matters more. Because I was a transit cop, so I remember.

And so what happens, so now we have to ask ourselves, why do people feel unsafe in a subway system? Why do you think? Because every day we take the worst thing that happens on four points.

And every day we blast it. Every day. Every day. And so you wake up in the morning, open the paper, oh, someone got pushed on the subway track. Now, you may have never had a negative experience. Someone got pushed on the subway track. Then you go down in the system and you see someone walking with no shoes on, no shirt on, and they're yelling and screaming. You hear noise.

I'm feeling safe. And so what I have to do, as you said, I'm not going to go to you and insult you and say you shouldn't feel a certain way. No, I have to answer that fear. So that's why we put a thousand more cops in the system. We have them riding the trains back and forth. When I was a transit cop, that's what I did.

I rode back and forth because we know the omnipresence of that uniform can deal with that perception. Now, we have record decrease in crime, but that means nothing if people don't feel safe. Well, maybe I'm going to give you some.
