She wasn’t the person for the job! Adams is a horrible Mayor he should resign next!!

[Palestine]

The mayor and his team trying to control this woman not letting her do what she thinks is best for her cops and citizens this mayor doesn't know what he's doing 😮

[marshallcoleman]

The question is, Why is she resigning? They should have let this lady do her job.

[rookforce]

Word in the locker room is she wanted to bring charges against chief of the Department Maddrey. Adams told her to stand down or pack her stuff.

I don’t blame her it’s hard to police society when criminals are more protected than the police.

[Atrail_Mckinley]

What's the point of appointing someone if they will not serve a full term

[olgakazakzz]

Wow… she tried really hard
Thank you commissioner for your service

[thomasmaroti]

Abandon ship, Abandon ship, get far away from Adams

[siennah]

Enough with hiring blacks only, . Get a hispanic, Asian or native American a chance, we have individuals well qualified to do the job.

[boxman]

I am sure that is not an easy position to be in and she has received a very large amount of criticism. I could understand not wanting to be micromanaged in her job.

[lawrencelibhardt]

I hope she takes the one on the right with her.

[cyankirkpatrick]

So that's why Adam's love's crime he was mostly a paid to look the other way cop

[rockdaddy]

Who thinks she was pushed out and her replacement will be one of the Mayor's relatives.

[willamjhonson]

Thank You for implementing "Stop and Frisk" in Black and Hispanic Communities!! I'll miss my son being stopped for nothing!!! Mmmm!! I wonder if Eric Adams is searching the illegal Aliens he loves so much????!!!!

[wack]

She only got the job because it was a stunt

[leonkennedy]

Are we ready to elect and give positions based on ability to actually do the job yet? Or are we still playing hire a black chick so we don't look racist?

[sollunaystars]

I hope Commissioner Sewell runs for mayor against Adams. I’ll vote for her.

[indianoutlaw]

Crime only got worse so she should quit

[jay-t]

Lol I wonder what is really going on behind the scenes

[maggiebannenberkowitz]

Can't she run for a Government job in D.C.??
