NYC's cop mayor demands only the finest iPhones for filming police brutality

Eric Adams is just a few months into his job as mayor of New York City, and already he’s distinguished himself as one of the absolute weirdest dudes to ever hold office in the Big Apple — a sincere achievement considering the last guy “accidentally” killed a groundhog, and the guy before that has essentially gone completely nuts before our very eyes.

Adams thinks his city radiates “special energy” because of all the crystals in the ground there, and that humans are quantum beings with multiple selves existing simultaneously, and that his community will rebound from the COVID pandemic based largely on his personal “swagger.” He also — as he made clear Wednesday morning — believes that filming police officers in the process of violating a suspect’s civil rights should only be done by those able to afford the most up to date and advanced smartphone technology available.
