Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday criticized Texas Republican Rep. Beth Van Dine after she published an ad in the Post urging New York City police to flee the Big Apple and work in the state. .
“New York is the safest big city in America. This is not my opinion. The statistics show it.” Adams claims the Empire State is “deliberately contrary to law and order.” I was outraged while responding to the advertisement.
Van Dine’s ad references the death of NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller, who was shot and killed by a career criminal during a traffic stop last month.
“I’m tired of pro-crime politicians trying to solemnly commemorate Officer Diller’s heroic career,” he said in the ad.
Adams told reporters at a news conference at City Hall that Van Dine should be concerned about crime in his state.
“What she should do is direct some of her cops to go to Dallas to deal with the violence!” He held a PowerPoint slide showing Dallas’ 19 murders per 100,000 people. I pointed and barked.
Van Dine claimed that while New York City police officers are working to keep illegal immigrant gangs and violent criminals at bay, they face budget cuts from “funding police politicians.” .
The ad also says: Escape from New York! ”
In an interview with fox news digitalVan Dine said New York police officers are being “abused, undermined and sold out by politicians.”
In contrast, she boasted of her “respect, appreciation and respect” for Texas police officers.
“This is another reason why the Lone Star State shines brighter than other states. We value their professionalism and their dedication,” she said, adding that their lives He added that the quality of the products will also be significantly improved.
“We actually respect individual freedom, we respect officers, [and] It’s about recognizing that people want to live in safe communities and enforcing the law. ”
If even one police officer can be persuaded to move to Texas, the ad will be worth it, she added.
“Just when that police officer saves one life and takes one criminal off the street, he can have such an impact on North Texas and benefit everyone who lives there. “I think that’s an enormous improvement,” she said.
