Mayor Adams runs NYPD like a 'criminal enterprise,' lawsuit alleges | LiveNOW from FOX

Former interim Police Commissioner Thomas G. Donlon is accusing Mayor Eric Adams and top NYPD officials of running a "criminal enterprise" inside the country’s largest police department.

In a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday, Donlon claims that under Adams, the NYPD functioned "as a racketeering enterprise," in order to "consolidate political power, obstruct justice, and punish dissent."

Donlon claims he was appointed commissioner in name only while real control remained with Adams’ inner circle, including Tania Kinsella, former Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, his successor John Chell, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Kaz Daughtry, Tarik Sheppard, and Michael Gerber, who are all named in the suit.

According to the suit, that group manipulated internal affairs, blocked investigations, and used Donlon’s official stamp without permission to promote politically connected allies over qualified officers. "The NYPD… functions as a racketeering enterprise," the complaint says.

Donlon alleges that when he tried to confront the misconduct, he was pushed aside, stripped of power, and ultimately removed.
