Taking care of their own
This is the perfect storm of ineptitude meets stupidity if I ever seen it. NYC will reap what they sowed... and I'm talking big time!
Just to reiterate this is the new district attorney.
Mayor Eric Adams has tapped his younger brother to serve as a deputy NYPD commissioner, The Post has learned.
Bernard Adams, a 56-year-old retired NYPD sergeant, will oversee governmental affairs, he confirmed Friday. But the full scope of his responsibilities was not immediately clear.
Internal documents obtained by The Post show Bernard Adams listed as a deputy commissioner on the official NYPD roster.
A civilian post, deputy police commissioners typically make around $242,000, although it was not yet known what his salary would be in the department.
Bernard Adams’ LinkedIn profile lists his current job as assistant director for parking at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he’s been employed since 2011.
Neither City Hall nor the NYPD returned a request for comment.

News of the appointment of Bernard Adams, who responded to the Sept. 11 terror attacks while working as a cop at Brooklyn’s 88th Precinct, comes hours after Eric Adams appointed longtime friend and confidant Philip Banks as deputy mayor of public safety.
Stop here:
A little background on Philip Banks.
Banks’ brother, David, was previously named the new New York City schools
chancellor.
Eric Adams has recruited his brother Bernard to be a NYPD deputy police commissioner.
The move also comes a day after a shake-up of the police executive staff that forced out Internal Affairs boss Joseph Reznick and the head of the department’s employee relations, Robert Ganley. Both had been collecting a hefty pension as well as their lucrative taxpayer-funded salary.
Big Apple mayors have hired family members in the past. Michael Bloomberg onboarded his daughter, Emma, and sister, Marjorie Tavern, while mayor but they worked for free and did not carry such prestigious titles.
Former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s wife Chirlane McCray played an outsized role in his administration — most notably her role heading the failed $1.3 billion mental health initiative ThriveNYC — but was only officially acting as the city’s First Lady. She was barred from collecting a salary by city nepotism rules.
Bernard Adams, brother of New York Mayor Eric Adams. Check out his shirt. How is a safe future going to materialize after you just notified criminals your constituents go ahead and commit arm robbery because the most you're going to be charged with is petty larceny? This is even more crazy when you contemplate the Adams brothers are both ex-cops!
