Adams says Bloomberg apology the right move
Borough President Eric Adams, a former police captain, said former mayor Michael Bloomberg’s apology over the NYPD’s controversial stop-and-frisk policy during his mayoralty was the right thing to do.
Adams, who sat down with Bloomberg prior to the former mayor’s public apology, said he appreciated the opportunity to speak with him. Bloomberg, who served as mayor from 2001 to 2013, had defended the policy for several years. He issued an apology on Nov. 17.
