BLM says mayor-elect Eric Adams longs for old New York where 'Black folks get their heads cracked'
Fox News
Black Lives Matter New York calls incoming Mayor Eric Adams a "bargain-basement Giuliani" who wants a city where cops are free to assault Blacks.
After the group had a contentious meeting with Adams on Wednesday, co-founder Hawk Newsome — Chivona Newsome’s brother — told reporters there would be "riots," "fire" and "bloodshed" if the unit were reinstated. The threat didn’t stop Adams from pushing forward with his plan to create a plainclothes gun unit to tackle surging Big Apple violence.
"The NYPD’s Anti-Crime Unit is unconstitutional and stomps all over the Fourth Amendment by allowing the police to ride around poor communities hunting Black men while dressed in plainclothes and unmarked vehicles," Chivona Newsome said. "Mayor-elect Adams’ behavior and rhetoric are hazardous to Black people."
