Mayor Eric Adams of New York City is facing scrutiny as 18 family members of individuals killed by NYPD officers, including the mother of Eric Garner, are urging him to sign a bill mandating the documentation of all investigative encounters with civilians. Adams allegedly offered to restore cuts to city council members' favored programs in exchange for their votes against a police transparency bill. Additionally, Governor Kathy Hochul granted clemency to 16 incarcerated individuals, including a Harlem rapper who turned himself in 17 years after committing a fatal shooting during a botched robbery as a teenager. The calls for LAPD Chief Michel Moore's resignation or removal surfaced amid allegations that he ordered Internal Affairs detectives to investigate Mayor Karen Bass over her acceptance of a scholarship from USC.
