I used to wish that an air conditioner would fall on Eric Adams' head. Now I wish he'd get run over by a delivery truck. #FuckEricAdams
![One woman caught in the net
The policy only began on Monday and, as is often the case with new policies, police on the streets have been improperly implementing it. One woman told Streetsblog she was swept up in a sting, even though she was riding a regular bike and hadn't broken the law.
The woman, who asked to remain anonymous due to her pending court case, got one of the new criminal court summonses for running a red light on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, even though she entered the intersection on the pedestrian signal, which has been legal since 2019.
"I know for a fact I definitely went through that walk signal," the cyclist said.
She was riding uptown when cops drove up in their squad car and dangerously swung in front of her and into the bike lane. The officers gave her a ticket with a court appearance for failing to obey a red light.
She said she even showed the officers the city's own website that specifically says riders can legally "go with the walk."
"He kind of just shrugged," she told Streetsblog. "[I] realized I’m pretty much a guinea pig in this new pilot program."](https://mastodon-usw-cache.b-cdn.net/media_attachments/files/114/441/422/753/770/076/original/a3deaea0104d688f.png "One woman caught in the net

Just thinking about the Mayoral election in NYC. Last time I voted in the primary but left my vote blank in the general between it was a choice between a corrupt cop (Adams) and a ghoulish republican buffoon (Sliwa).
I'm going to be super pissed (and probably leave it blank again in the general election) if the choices are between a corrupt cop (Adams), a sex pest (Cuomo), and some ghoulish republican buffoon.
Today I was biking around central queens thinking, "If there's one person who deserves to get run over by a car in NYC, it's Eric Adams."
Our shitty Council could've saved some time by pursuing legal action against #OfficerAdams year ago for the many pieces of legislation that he's disobeyed. Like the Street Master Plan, for example.
#FuckEricAdams & #NYCCouncil too
Eric Adams and his administration continue to be awful. They're throwing up Open Streets roadblocks... #FuckEricAdams
#OfficerAdams remains, as he always has been, a Republican. How he manage to connive his way through the Dem primary 2021.. https://flipboard.com/@gothamist/gothamist-igeoft02z/-/a-TyT_Bh1kTcelB1X_y8yyCQ%3Aa%3A3807498986-%2F0

This same group backed the cop #FuckEricAdams last time, so their credibility is quite suspect. (And why can't they bring themselves to endorse a woman candidate??)

@2avesag.as Huh. Maybe he's right about skipping fares leading to larger crimes (like bribery, wire fraud, and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals)! #FuckEricAdams

@Gothamist @gothamist-Gothamist My man Officer Adams is like, "If it's not a free first class trip to Turkey, what's even the point?"
Oh ffs! Hochul should've removed this dipshit already. We have the worst goddamned leadership..

Someone please sell me an "Anybody but Cuomo & Adams for NYC Mayor" t-shirt?
These two corrupt and hateful souls deserve each other.

I'm old enough to remember when #Hochul claimed that "we are a nation of laws".

Gothamist · Gov. Hochul won't remove NYC Mayor Adams from office, source saysHochul instead plans to unveil a new plan that would expand Albany’s oversight of the mayor’s office.
Looks like #NY governor Hochul is determined to drag this process out as long as possible, in case someone else rescues her from having to take decisive action. Pathetic.

THE CITY - NYC News · Hochul Meets Key Leaders to Decide Whether to Fire Adams
Mocking Eric Adams is far too easy. But it does feel good so I won't stop.
Okay, this point is interesting. So #GovernorHochul *may* be holding out until Feb 24th to ditch Adams. Or it could be her lack of spine. Anyone's guess at this point..
