The NYPD's former commissioner is suing Mayor Eric Adams, alleging the nation’s largest police force ran a vast criminal enterprise to enrich top officials and calling for a federal takeover of the department.

I find it interesting that Donlon is asking for a federal takeover and not a state.

Yeah, the federal govt that’s in cahoots with the mayor they did a quid pro quo deal to get him off other charges?

Isn’t calling for a federal takeover asking for a larger criminal organization to take over a smaller one in this case?

Yeah um one problem with that--the federal gov't is also now a vast criminal enterprise under MAGA.

Not sure I want a federal takeover of ANYTHING now. Not even something so broken as this. This federal government will make the problem so, so much worse.

Two things can be true at once. Eric Adams and the NYPD are massively corrupt. The last thing that should happen is that Trumps government get control of the NYPD.

A federal takeover of the NYPD? No fucking thanks, no matter how corrupt Adams is. Let Albany take over control of the NYPD, if it has to be taken out of the Mayor’s hands.

Sounds unconstitutional for me (I'm not a specialist in US constitution so might be wrong) and anyway currently it seems that it is the feds who are running most criminal enterprise.

Absurd. You cannot have a federal takeover when the federal government is the most massively corrupt enterprise in American history. Adams is a crook. But this guy can F off.

Have you seen the federal government lately? That would be even worse. We need corrupt officials sued, charged AND arrested. Until they are held to the same level of standards as the rest of us, they will keep doing it.

How New York’s Mayor Wooed Donald Trump Mayor Eric Adams’s charm campaign involved phone calls to the Trumps and a meeting with Steve Bannon. Mr. Trump showed sympathy for the mayor, as his administration moved to drop charges against Mr. Adams.

Meanwhile: “This suit is nothing more than an attempt to seek compensation at the taxpayer’s expense after Mr. Donlon was rightfully removed from the role of interim police commissioner.” Sounds like extortion in an election year.

Absolutely. If the top tiers of the NYPD have been corrupted, then there needs to be a takeover so they can get rid of the corruption. Now to look exactly who is in charge of the Federal Government in the US. OH DEAR GOD NO.
