How Eric Adams Has Backed a Secretive NYPD Unit Ridden With Abuses
After NYPD officials warned about a unitβs aggressive policing, the mayor boosted the team led by his allies. βThe unit effectively reported directly to City Hall,β a former police official said.
I just published story on secretive NYPD unit led by Eric Adams buddies
Things they've done:
Purposely crashed into motorcyclist, killing him
Punched unarmed driver in head then kicked him
Shoved a man into a car window after he protested stop

5* basketball in California:
1. Tyran Stokes (#1 2026) turn & face, clear space, drive to jump stop to finish β> power skill player
2. Brayden Burries (2025 5* turns 20 in Sept) w/clean change of direction to quick burst to smooth, effortless offhand dunker

I love Mountain West and WCC late night hoops (late = central time zone here).
Need/want to hit up conference home games at New Mexico, St Mary's, Gonzaga, SDSU, UNLV, Santa Clara. Just drive around west coast watching collegiate basketball.

Very much enjoying the Bangot Dak (6-11 2023 turns 20 in a month) experience.
Well enough on the short roll here, but stays engaged with those thin pogo stick legs crashing hard with audacity.

Fletcher Loyer is light work for Danny Wolf but this is still some next shit from Wolf on the cross to drive, bounce off contact to wrong footed finish at speed.

Theyβve called armed federal officers to the scene. We arenβt dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

CJ Ingramβs (6-6 4* 2025 Gator commit turns 18 in august) feel, body control, processing, athleticism all been impressive at #hoophall.
Slick attacking mismatch w/dump off here then ++fluidity on the react to catch & finish.

Have been a Miikka Muurrinen (6-11 2026 5* turns 18 in March; potential reclass) fan for a bit but finding his lack of physicality bit frustrating early on here and then he creates this magnificent sequence out of thin air.

Jeremiah Fears (big younger brother, 18 in OCT) keeps doing few things really well:
- accelerates hard out of screen - force D to commit
- fluid as all hell cutting/changing direction w/ball, sudden and smooth - force hard charging help to shift
- takes advantageous angles

Constant pressure from Ben Saraf (6-5 or so, turns 19 in April, 2025 draft eligible) and freezing defender for the1.
Showing good strength for age consistently blowing by defender arm tackles finishing thru contact.

Nothing elaborate here from young Kingston Flemings but running things on his own terms. Shrugs off the pressure, creates advantage, makes the read.

December 2, 1992: Milwaukeeβs Blue Edwards with a flying putback dunk (that didn't count) against Miami.
