Adams Urges Cops to Bring Guns to Church in Brooklyn
“From now on I will bring my handgun every time I enter a church or synagogue,” Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, a former police captain, said on Sunday, following the horrific shooting rampage that took place at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday.
“If we have police officers standing in front of churches, we can’t say it’s wrong for a police officer who’s off duty be inside churches with a gun,” Adams said. “We have to live in this real universe that we’re in.”
