Biden to meet with Adams in NYC next week to discuss anti-crime plan

 

Biden and Adams will meet roughly two weeks after the New York City mayor unveiled his anti-crime plan for the five boroughs, which focuses on intervention and prevention tactics.

Adams said his plan will focus on 30 precincts throughout the city where 80% of violence occurs. Those precincts will have enhanced Public Safety Units and additional Neighborhood Safety Teams, which are expected to roll out sometime in February.

In an interview with 1010 WINS Tuesday, Adams elaborated on his plan, stressing that it was not going to “be abusive to any New Yorkers in general, specifically to Black and Brown men.”

He added that his plan will also provide greater support to NYPD officers, who have been frequent targets of abuse on New York City streets.

This will not be the first time that Biden and Adams meet to discuss crime rates in New York City.

The two also spoke in July 2021, when Adams was still a candidate for mayor, along with various other political leaders from several major U.S. cities.

"Or we could talk about the thing that everyone is talking about," one guy said. "No, you saw what happened. We have to talk about something else," Corden said.

Netflix has placed Will Smith's new movie on hold after the last week's drama. The Hollywood Reporter  indicates that Fast and Loose will have to be shelved. Director David Leitch recently backed away from the project  and now there's even more turmoil. It seems as though the filmmaker is directing his attention towards the new Ryan Gosling picture, Fall Guy over at Universal Pictures. For Netflix, there was a full court press to find another director to replace Leitch, but now, they've decided to let things cool off  before putting Smith back out there again.  For the Fresh Prince star, he's still got Emancipation coming out on Apple+ at some point. The slave escape movie is in post-production and will need to be released in some form. His other work with Bad Boys  will also be paused for the moment. Audiences loved the latest entry in the series. It all seems a bit like window dressing in an industry where comebacks are about as common as the ...
