The Issue: Mayor Adams appointing his younger brother and Philip Banks for top NYPD-related positions.

So far, Mayor Adams seems to be nothing more than Bill de Blasio lite (“Adams’ Unsettling Picks,” Editorial, Jan. 11).

He no longer has a problem with voting rights for non-citizens. He will allow the vaccine mandates for private companies to continue, and two NYPD-related appointments are 1) his brother, and 2) Philip Banks, who was under investigation by the FBI.

Adams is more of a political animal than he ever was a cop.

The Post editorial board is exactly correct on its critique of Adams’ recent decision.

After the complete debacle of the mayoral tenure of de Blasio, people who appreciate New York City and wish it well were looking forward to the leadership of Adams.

It’s early days yet, but hiring his brother as deputy NYPD commissioner is clearly nepotism, and Adams using the rationale that he’s threatened by white supremacists is both disingenuous as well as insulting toward New Yorkers.

It’s a diversion tactic from the poor choice of his brother for deputy commissioner. Be better, Mr. Adams.

For deputy mayor, Adams tapped former NYPD Chief of Department Philip Banks III — an unindicted co-conspirator in a federal bribery investigation.

Then he tapped his brother as an NYPD deputy commissioner. According to Adams, there is a rise in white supremacy in the city, and his brother will be able to better protect him.

Seriously? A continued barrage of crimes plagues New York City, but I really can’t recall any people of interest described as “white supremacists.”

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Very sad, Mayor Adams.

As a former detective with 35 years of experience, I challenge our new mayor to name an actual white-supremacist group that poses a credible threat.

The only violent anarchists groups that I’ve seen cause damage to homes and businesses in New York City and do physical harm to members of the NYPD are Black Lives Matter and Antifa.

Also, there are many superior NYPD members who would do an excellent job of handling his security detail. Instead, he used poor judgment in the nepotistic hiring of his brother.

Nothing like winning an election to bring out your true colors. “White supremacy”? “My community”? It took him all of 10 days to show me that he is not mayor of this entire city.

Between Adams and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, New York City is doomed.

Please don’t give us another eight (or even four) years of the destruction of one of the world’s greatest cities.

Already, this new mayor is trying to slice and dice the population along racial boundaries.

He is proving himself to be just another Democratic Party hack, towing the old, false, standard talking points about white supremacy. So I guess white cops guarding him would scare him, right?

The other embarrassment, new Manhattan DA Bragg, sees criminals as the real victims of the crimes they commit and endorses them by not enforcing the laws already on the books.

Bragg’s remedies are calamities, and Adams, making a crack like that about white supremacy, is already drawing battle lines in the city.

The Post’s Jan. 10 edition says it all about Mayor Adams.

He has endorsed non-citizens getting the right to vote in local elections. He also cited white supremacy as a reason to hire his brother.

Adams is just as progressive as the rest of the Democrats. New York, you are in for a long haul.
