The NYPD's Response to the Homeless Man's Subway Incident

Ellie Mistal: As a regular subway rider, I've noticed an uptick in policing on the platforms and even announcements by train drivers when we get to a platform of an NYPD presence.

Maybe Mayor Adams, the problem here is not that the man had the temerity to be homeless in public, to be homeless on the subway. He did not hurt anybody on that subway that day. The situation itself proves the lack of utility of more cops in every situation. We need concrete services. If you know there are a lot of mental health problems around, you get rid of the guns.
