| Eric Adams decries 'open disorder' in NYC parks, calls for comprehensive approach |
| 2021-06-14 |
| [NYPOST] Mayoral hopeful Eric Adams on Sunday decried the "open disorder in our parks" after The Post reported on the recent violence and vandalism at Washington Square Park — but he proposed a less "heavy-handed" solution than cops in riot gear. "Parks in our city are family places. They should not be about drugs and disorder, they should be about our sons and daughters," the Democratic frontrunner told The Post after a campaign stop at a church in Queens. "We can’t have open disorder in our parks," said Adams, a former NYPD cop. "That is not acceptable. "But we could do it without being heavy-handed in the process," he added. Adams said the city needs to employ a "real, comprehensive approach" to stop the violence, raucous partying and open drug use — in lieu of the recent strategy of NYPD officers forcefully clearing the park while decked out in riot gear to enforce a since-lifted 10 p.m. curfew. |

| #1 "Comprehensive" is politicalese for "sh*t sandwich consisting mostly of things that have nothing to do with the problem." See also "bipartisan." |
