BLM leader in New York warns mayor-elect against returning to the ‘old ways of policing’
Fox News
The head of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York met with Eric Adams, the city’s mayor-elect on Wednesday to discuss policing and warned that there will be “bloodshed” if the city returns to its pre-De Blasio model, according to a report.
"If he thinks that they’re going to go back to the old ways of policing, then we are going to take to the streets again. There will be riots, there will be fire and there will be bloodshed because we believe in defending our people," Newsome told the paper. He said that the group prays for peace but prepares "for the worst."
Adams’ campaign and Newsome's group did not immediately respond to after-hours emails from Fox News. Chivona Newsome, a co-founder of the group and Hawk’s sister, told the paper, "We will shut down City Hall, and we will give him hell and make it a nightmare."
