New York is alluring for its huge skyscrapers, its endless diversions, its restaurants, its global landmarks. But none of that means diddly-squat if you're afraid of being mugged or worse when you're there.

Everyone gets it, especially Mayor Eric Adams, which is why he's moving to break out the big guns to fight against the skyrocketing crime there:

Mayor Eric Adams is mulling a mini-army of drones to fight surging crime in the Big Apple — possibly deploying the high-flying robocops from rooftops as watchful guardians of Gotham, sources told The Post.

Tel Aviv-based Blue White Robotics and Easy Aerial of Brooklyn were two drone manufacturers featured earlier this month at an event to launch a NYC-Israel Chamber of Commerce.

Adams attended the gathering in the Williamsburg Hotel, and sources said the mayor was so impressed with the joint presentation that he suggested his chief technology officer Matthew Fraser and the firms' honchos begin talks about the city potentially buying drones and expanding the NYPD's use of them.

Yeah that's a little thing we like to call "a fast-track in the fast lane to dystopia."

It may be necessary, though. The latest overall crime data for the city is nothing short of catastrophic:

Murder is thankfully declining year-over-year, but rape, robbery, grand larceny, assault—they're all skyrocketing. It's bad. Very bad.

New York City overrun by crime or New York City overrun by cop drones—either way, it's not a good time to be in New York City.
