AOC on NYC Mayor Eric Adams Changes in NYPD Policy: 'Police Budgets Have Nothing to Do with Crime Levels'

Left-wing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ripped Mayor Eric Adams’ public tough-on-crime approach — a key pillar of which has removed more than 20 guns off the street — days after a 12-year-old boy was killed in a senseless act of gun violence.

In an Instagram story Saturday, AOC gave a literal thumbs down to Hizzoner launching a revamped NYPD anti-gun unit and other measures in response to a follower asking her “opinion on Eric Adams’ changes in NYPD policy & funding” during a Q&A session on the social media platform.

“Cutting virtually every city agency’s budget while raising NYPD’s, bringing back the plainclothes unit notorious for misconduct and responsible for an enormous percent of all NYC police killings, torture in the form of solitary [confinement] at Rikers and destroying homeless people’s sole belongings/ shelter in the middle of winter while defunding the very shelter system they’re supposed to turn to?” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) posted.
