'It's a hot mess': NYPD was 'blindsided' by NYC Mayor Eric Adams' decision to involuntarily commit mentally ill homeless people and claims City Hall 'jumped the gun'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] 80:20 Rule for crime — or is it 90:10? At any rate, if they really do start taking people off the street, it’ll quickly make a difference. Assuming the city has somewhere to keep them, that is.. But it isn’t nice to surprise street cops like that... - The NYPD was 'blindsided' by Mayor Eric Adams' new mental health plan to involuntarily commit mentally ill homeless people, a source said
- Adams, 62, announced his New Pathway plan on Tuesday at City Hall to the shock of the NYPD, who sources say didn't know about the announcement
- 'Like everything else, it gets dumped in our lap and we’re expected to solve the problem without any guidance,' the source said
- However, City Hall insisted the NYPD has known about this initiative for 'months'
- The NYPD later said: 'Every city agency received this directive yesterday, however, we have been working with the mayor’s office for months...'
- The plan will allow the NYPD and FDNY to forcibly hospitalize the mentally ill who refuse treatment, even if they are not presenting a threat to the public
