Mayor Eric Adams was booed at a City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law graduation ceremony Friday, after referencing his history as a police officer.
As Adams delivered a short speech to the crowd, dozens of students began shouting when he mentioned his previous service in the New York Police Department (NYPD).
The mayor had been an officer for 22 years, graduating from the New York City Police Academy in 1984.
Video on Twitter shows dozens of law graduates standing up and putting their backs towards Adams in protest of his speech.
"These graduates that are here, that are now going to go into the field of law, some of them are going to craft policies on healthcare, some of them are going to work with the elected officials to determine legislation, some of them are going to move on, and even fill the role of what it is to be a public figure," Adams said during his speech.
"Let's be clear, for 22 years of my life, I wore a bulletproof vest and protected the children and families of this city as a police officer," he added, as the crowd jeered.
"So, I know what it is. I know what it takes to hold this city together. And we have a lot of challenges, a lot of things that need discipline," Adams continued.
**SNIP**
The CUNY Law speech was not the first time Adams was booed in public. During a Brooklyn Pride parade last June, Adams was heckled by attendees who reportedly shouted profanities and flipped him off with the middle finger.

I don’t like Mayor Adams as a law and order type administrator, but to be a law school graduate and turn your back on an elected official is very disrespectful, unprofessional, rude and even childish. Then, they will wonder why their school has such a lousy reputation in the American legal world. Screaming “Racism!!” will not be solving your problems.
“CUNY”
I think the “Y” was supposed to be a “T”...
As an aside to this waste of space, what is the psychological pathology that every damn no-talent Democrat is compelled to say “Let me be clear” before lying his or her azz off??
How dare they? After all he’s done to ruin their city!
I can’t be sure, as I was not invited to the CUNY commencement. Nevertheless, I’ll bet that Adams was not booed because he was too liberal.
I’ll bet that he was booed because he’s not liberal enough.
New York…gone baby gone.
That’s entirely possible.
Those lawyers will get what they want...when we decide that we no longer have to listen to them...and make them fear to leave their homes. If their homes still stand, that is.
Always remeber that little phrase which came from documents those future lawyers have never read...”...concent of the governed...”
Bring it. We’ll bring popcorn. And caskets.
There are too many woke public law schools like that. Red state legislators: are there any good candidates for defunding in your states?
My sentiments exactly, lee.
