The weekend’s wild gunplay shows — alarmingly — what a Mayor Adams would face

Eric Adams may be Gotham’s best hope for stopping out-of-control gunplay, but this weekend’s madness raises a troubling question: Can even he restore sanity to the streets?

In a truly alarming development, police say 26-year-old gangbanger Jerome Roman — who’d been arrested previously 25 times — shot a cop specifically assigned to thwart gun violence. The lieutenant was lucky; struck in the ankle, he was able to leave the hospital just hours after surgery. It may well have been far worse if Roman’s Smith & Wesson hadn’t jammed. Yet how could a thug like him be free to prowl the streets? His rap sheet lists eight felonies, 17 misdemeanors, including a sealed “gang-related” murder bust, as The Post reported. Just last November, he was nabbed for criminal possession of a pistol but freed on bail.
