Mayor Eric Adams took a crew of City Council members on police patrol over the weekend in his much-publicized bid to kill a controversial law enforcement bill.
At least eight council members donned body armor for a Saturday night ride-along with cops in Harlem and the Bronx — with Adams hoping to sway at least two council members to flip their votes and squash the proposed “How Many Stops” bill he vetoed this month .
“It was very eye-opening and I think that this is something we should incorporate when we’re putting together bills like this,” Councilwoman Kamillah Hanks (D-Staten Island) told the New York Post after wrapping up the night.
Adams, a former NYPD captain, is banking that the experience will help kill a 35-9 super majority on the council when lawmakers convene on Tuesday to vote to on whether to overturn the mayor’s veto of the controversial “How Many Stops Act. ”
