Breaking this afternoon. Mayor Adams vetoes two huge bills
including the How Many Stops Act and the bill banning
solitary confinement. Now, Mayor Adams says he's been
against both for a while. Specifically the How Many
Stops Act, which would require all and officers to
document each time they interact with the public for any
reason, writing down their name, age and race
in the process. Adams says the problem is that
it would impede officers day giving less time to do
police work. I believe the city council's uh intentions
were good intentions. Uh There were parts of this
bill that we agreed on. Uh We believe that
we should continue to move forward with transparency and accountability
. Now it's unclear what's next, but the city
council has said an override could be possible as for
the anti solitary confinement bill. Adams and others have
said it could make things dangerous for guards and inmates
at city prisons. Now, public advocate Jumani Williams
responding to the veto saying with this veto, the
mayor is threatening New Yorker safety to advance his own
ideological and personal political agenda. Either he is vetoing
the bill without reading it or he has been deliberately
deceiving people to scare New Yorkers and justify his dangerous 00:01:26.400 --> choice.
