A call for help: When a mental health crisis turns deadly Off Topic/On Politics
-
- Politics
At the end of March, NYPD officers shot and killed a 19-year-old in Queens who was apparently facing a mental health crisis. The death of Win Rozario once again put scrutiny on how the NYPD handles mental health calls and whether the city’s non-police response program is working. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and Dan Rivoli discuss the complicated nature of the city's response to mental health calls and Courtney details the findings of her new investigation.
After that, Andrew Cuomo was back in the news after he gave a fiery speech on Mayor Adams’ home turf of Brooklyn. The former governor bashed the city’s handling of possible arsenic contamination at a New York City public housing complex in the East Village. Adams was quick to push back on Cuomo, but many are speculating that Cuomo may be planning to challenge Adams in a run for mayor next year. The “Off Topic” team looks at the possibility of Cuomo returning to politics as well as other potential candidates.
