NEW: The NYPD is gearing up to pilot metal detectors with artificial intelligence in the subways to keep guns out. “This is our Sputnik moment. Like when Kennedy said we’re going to put a man on the moon,” Mayor Adams said just now.
@BaharOstadan "This is our Sputnik moment. Like when Kennedy said we’re going to put a man on the moon" Preventing crime on the subway is the moonshot, huh
@BaharOstadan What about people who can legally carry?
They will try everything except putting criminals in jail.
@BaharOstadan The theater they’ll jump through to avoid actual solutions.
@BaharOstadan They haven’t learned that people will destroy things just because they can. Scooters, the robot police thing, delivery robots. This thing won’t last 24 hours.
@BaharOstadan @SaysSimonson Every single person who is responsible for a serious subway crime has been arrested for a previous similar crime in the last year. There is no tech that can keep us safe if our officials won’t lock up violent criminals.
@BaharOstadan So why can’t someone carry their lawfully owned gun on a friggin’ subway?
