he walked back a little. there was concern in the community that it sent a bad message to people that they could get away doing these more minor offenses. i think it s important that the head da did reshape and reform his messaging in regards to prosecutorial choices, but i think something very significant that mayor adams stated over the week end and that is we are not only dealing with the reality of crime and you can consider those statistics and the data points that you mentioned but you also have to deal with the perception of crime. people live their reality is the perception of safety or not being safe. you have to really instill in the community that there s an us against them mentality mindset. that means those people who are on the side of law and order and those people who operate outside of that. you have to really oppose them.
