BLM threatens riots in New York City if Mayor-elect Eric Adams reinstitutes NYPD anti-crime units

New York City’s Black Lives Matter chapter threatened "riots" and "bloodshed" in the streets if Mayor-elect Eric Adams reinstated the police department’s anti-crime units which were disbanded at the height of 2020's Black Lives Matter protests and riots. Progressives were furious when Adams said he would reinstate the units during his campaign.

Hawk Newsome, co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, said after a meeting with Adams in Brooklyn Borough Hall Wednesday, "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 Daily News, "So, there is no way that he is going to let some Gestapo come in here and harm our people. We pray for peace but ... prepare for the worst." Chivona Newsome, a BLM co-founder and sister of Hawk Newsome added, "We will shut the city down. We will shut down City Hall, and we will give him hell and make it a nightmare."

During the meeting, which was livestreamed on Instagram by an attendee, Adams and the BLM activists got into a heated argument over police policies.

Hawk Newsome told Adams that BLM would hold him responsible for any future misconduct by the NYPD.

Adams responded, "Stop the violence in my community. I’m holding you accountable. Don’t hold me accountable. Being the mayor, being the borough president, being the state senator, I put my body on the line for my community, so I’m not here for folks to come and say, 'Eric, we’re gonna hold you accountable. No, it’s us. We need to do this together.'" After Chivona challenged him Adams added, "Don’t tell me, 'I need to do this' … say, 'We need to do this.'"

Later in the meeting, Adams responded to another activist who accused him of not holding NYPD accountable saying, "Brother, I mean, have you been living under rock?" adding that he has been "fighting injustices" during his decades-long career as an NYPD captain and a politician. "The same things I’ve been doing over the past 35 years I’m going to continue to do, and maybe you should look at those things I have done."

After the meeting, Chivona Newsome told The Daily News "I don’t know if it was misogyny or ageism, but as the only woman in the room, as the co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, Mayor-elect Adams thought it was best to correct me, and he wants to know how he can hold me accountable. We are holding him accountable whether he chooses to hold himself accountable or not."

No reason to go ever again.

That's how much you know about the art scene.

“BLM” is going to find that Warren Wilhelm has been deleted and replaced with an NYPD veteran, and that things are going to be VERY different.

Talk is cheap.

"That's how much you know about the art scene."

I learned everything I needed to know about the art scene from the Biden's.

There's probably a Sun Tsu saying about it.

Will THIS suffice??

It’s not destruction and rioting, it’s more “opportunity zones.”

Another good Napoleon quote (not really a maxim) was during the Egyptian Campaign in 1798. While battling an uprising in Cairo, one of Bonaparte’s Aides-de Camp was killed and the Muslim Turks threw his body into a dog pit and took refuge within a mosque. Bonaparte gave the curt command “exterminate all within the mosque”.

I think this is the same Marxist thug that said on Fox a few years ago that the “city will burn” if the BLM Marxists didn’t get their demands which I assume is free money.

New York Post continues the story today. I didn’t know before this that the NYC “branch” of BLM is not really a branch but a separate organization.

Good that they don’t belong to the money-hungry national, but bad that they are challenging our new mayor-to-be. He’s saying all the right things. Keep your fingers crossed, New York.
