New York City Mayor Eric Adams declined to say Tuesday if he remained confident in the city’s police commissioner, days after federal agents seized the cellphones of the head of the police department and at least four other high-ranking mayoral deputies.

In his first news conference since the whirlwind of seizures, Adams — whose own devices were taken by FBI agents in November — acknowledged that the sudden increase in federal scrutiny had “raised a lot of questions and a lot of concerns.” He then deflected questions about whether he planned to remove the police commissioner, Edward Caban, amid a series of news reports claiming Caban is under pressure to resign.

    Oh, Eric. You might want to keep your lawyer’s number handy.

    FSM, please, put this corrupt bootlicker in federal prison, it would be so funny, Ramen.

    It’s important to keep your divine requests reasonable by aligning with the FBI’s natural inclination to investigate powerful black people instead of the multiple white supremacist terrorists networks in America.
