Frank R. James, 62, was taken into custody in Manhattan, Brooklyn on Wednesday (US time).
In recent months, James railed in online videos about racism and violence in the US and about his experiences with mental health care in New York City, and he had criticised Adams' policies on mental health and subway safety.
Some how I dont think thats the correct way to carry on about racism mental health and subway safety.
But Im glad they got the bugger.

NZ Police could learn a lot from NYPD.  First get police out of their cars and on their feet in CBD areas - and do so IN FORCE.
I agree, bring back the bobby on the beat and have plenty of them, but as far as being like the NYPD that wouldnt be kind woiuld it
