Op Mayor Eric Adams Defends Cops Who Handcuffed Woman For Selling Fruit

May 10, 2022

Eric Adams young tenure as the mayor of New York City has been rocky to say the least as he’s made some questionable and controversial decisions over the past few months. Now the polarizing political figure is defending the NYPD for using unnecessary actions against street vendor María Falcon in a subway train station.

According to The New York Times, Mayor Eric Adams came to the defense of police officers who last month handcuffed Falcon who was apparently selling mangos in a Brooklyn subway station without a license. New Yorkers know that many people sell all kinds of products in subway stations and it doesn’t bother anyone a single bit, but police decided it warranted some cuffs and now Adams is insinuating that the illegal sale of fruit in subway stations could lead to bigger and badder problems.

That’s just ridiculous, but we get it. The NYPD basically abandoned and literally turned their backs on New York’s previous mayor, Bill de Blasio for publicly criticizing their policing methods, and he was white! You kind of figure they’ll be quick (or quicker) to do the same to New York’s African-American Mayor. Just sayin.’

With subway crime a huge problem for New Yorkers these days, Adams also now wants to crack down on people potentially getting sick from food sold without a permit because we all know that permit-less food is contaminated by nature. Unfortunately María Falcon got caught up and was handcuffed on the train platform at the Broadway Junction station this past April 29. Police noticed she had a tray of fresh melon, kiwis and mangoes propped on a laundry cart and figured she was a menace.
