Mayor Eric Adams went viral after being humiliated on the Breakfast Club. Movement lawyer Olayemi Olurin’s hard-hitting questions put a laser focus on his inconsistent views and oppressive policies. But through it all, he still has nefarious plans.
Mayor Adams announced that New York City will spend $225 million to build a new “Public Safety Academy” by early 2030 in Queens. The facility will house and train 18 municipal agencies with enforcement capacity including the NYPD, Homeless Services, and Children’s Services, all “under one roof.”
This $225 million comes as the Adams administration has been repeatedly criticized for budget cuts to essential services and accused of financial mismanagement. But this is just an accident. This “mismanagement” purposefully centralizes police power in a location that will become New York’s own “cop city.”
This “Public Safety Academy” is part of a growing trend of proposed cop cities across the country and perhaps the biggest since Atlanta’s. Both aim to house multi-agency training under the guise of public safety when militarized policing is the real goal.
This announcement is another threat highlighting the expanding police state. Be it in Atlanta or New York City, cop cities are a danger to us all, and they won't stop there unless we push back against their development.
