At a press conference on Friday, Adams questioned why members of his party have not spoken out against BLM leader Hawk Newsome's calls to violence
Newly elected Democratic mayor Eric Adams has already faced opposition from activist to his plans to reinstate the NYPD's plainclothes cop units
Newsome told reporters 'There will be riots. There will be fire, and there will be bloodshed,' if Mayor-elect Eric Adams reinstates the NYPD's anti-crime units
'I think that this is an excellent moment for the local and state and federal Democratic Party to state: We could have justice without violence,' Adams said
Newsome clarified on Friday that he made his 'riot' comments because he was triggered by a question about plainclothes officers
Newsome said that Adams was trying to distract from the real issue by zeroing in on his threat

I don’t care if the guy is a Democrat. I wish him well and hope he is able to stem the tide of destruction of NYC.
Hawk Newsome is a racist punk.
If he tries to run that city as a Centrist and BLM doesn’t get what they want, he’ll have a very rough 4 years. The city is pretty much decimated. A lot of the money is gone as all those folks moved and took it with them.
The police department is shrinking by the day and they just canceled or downsized an academy class. Less money for the cops, more for SJW stuff.
He’s got a rough road ahead.
Very rough especially when the money runs out. Heard 78% of manhattan office workers are missing. Not good.
I think the damages is done and it is likely too late to fix it, hold on tight sand enjoy the ride, it’s gonna be a doozy!!
Nope.
My best friend is a Wall St. Been working from home since last March. Has only been in the city a handful of times since then as his boss realized that everything can be done from each person’s home office. No need to rent office space anymore.
No more workers, no more deli’s, no more restaurants, no more bars, no more anything.
They can now reap what they’ve sown. However, that’s bad for the rest of us as the ones that can move, do so and start to ruin the next place.
On a side note, he might seem better than DeBlasio, but that ain’t saying much. Jury is still out as to who he really is and what he’s all about.
He’s got a tough job ahead. Blasio controls and supports BLM. A real disaster for NYC.
People who can will continue voting with their feet.
Cracking down on criminals will cause other criminals to riot?
Got it.
Then we get to crack down on the rioters.
Where do I sign up?
Crickets.........
Any conservative who threatened such bloodshed and mayhem wouldn’t be out walking on the streets today. He’s be in solitary.
He is making a mistake. He is supposed to take the role of what used to be called The Magical Negro. Once I heard of it and read the Wikipedia entry I recognized it.
Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, Denzel Washington, Muhammad Ali, Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones and many more.
Bring out compassion, sympathy and have people rooting for them, with no fear of their being an outsider or a danger to anyone.
Which actually is what our black friends in our personal lives are like.
Spike Lee popularized the term in 2001 and others said the
role reassures white people. A film and novel Magical Negro example is said to be To Sir, With Love (Poitier) or a black man who sacrifices his own life to save Tony Curtis in The Defiant Ones. A political writer said Obama was one, popular and balancing Al Sharpton and Snoop Dogg to Americans.

They could even probably even balance the city budget by selling perp hunting permits, no bag limits.
I’m guessing that no more high-rise buildings of significance will be built in the Northeast quadrant of the US for many years. You can’t move them.
Missing as in ‘not present in Manhattan.
I still don’t know how anyone who doesn’t appreciate living in America will lift a finger to improve our nation. Seems all they want to do is destroy. Used to be the Loyal Opposition would pick up the pieces and rebuild thinking they have learned the lessons of history with their ill fated attempts at Collectivism. We know better now.

time to bring the MOB back to regain some law & order there while it turns into wild west
How can the money run out when the federal government is just pouring money into states, especially preferred states?
