    The NYPD press office didn’t return a request for comment, but Amaris Cockfield, a spokeswoman for Mayor Adams, said the department’s response was appropriate while reiterating the mayor’s position that “outside agitators” were responsible for escalating the campus protests.

    John Oliver just ripped down all those bullshit talking points btw…

    Like the whole “same tent” thing is because we live in a dystopia and everyone bought the first result for “cheap tent” on Amazon…

    Adams also made the bike locks sound like terrorist equipment no one can just buy, but Columbia’s own website sells them to students at a discount.

    Either Adams is more of an idiot than I thought and didn’t spend a single second looking into shit, or he knows what he’s doing and is even shittier than I thought

    But no one should expect Adams to hold NYPD accountable. Once a corrupt cop, always a corrupt cop.

      As a NYer, I legit think it’s the last one. Adams is a piece of shit. He’s an entitled landlord cop posing as a mayor
