#8  But only the White officers, right Captain?

I know us clod pickers ain't no such lerned as Mister Adams, but we use our phones on calls for a ton of shit, including DMs with person specific info not important enough for radio, or radio is such occupied, for locating teammates, environment updates, taking notes and photos/video.

Real life: Officer: "Can you re-play security camera # at 00:00 - 00:00+:15".

-Winds it up- "Do you want a copy of that timeline?"

-gets out phone, points at monitor- "Nah, just push play after I push play."

But you Kansas boys are assholes. Maybe; I'd grab a partner, go to one of those tunnel camps and/or hazard posts, and have partner record me recording the shit, and posting something about Waiting for You, Mr. Adams.

Police work over Social media, I feel we all agree.

BUT, many times that call could be for police related work, or family emergencies.
So Mayor Adams is just playing the LSD Hate and Screw Police card differently.

#2  Most New Yorkers have their eyes glued to their phones. If they looked around more, they would leave.
