The newly elected mayor of New York, Eric Adams, Of course, his job suits him.The former police officer is inheriting a declining city whose violent crime rate has reached its worst level in decades (although there are some A small drop In the past few months).
This issue occupies a prominent position in the campaign, and Adams obviously has a plan: He wants to restore the plainclothes anti-crime police force. They were disbanded under the leadership of the current mayor Bill de Blasio. Black people’s fate is also fate Riots in 2020.The following is a description of the move at the time NPR.
Make no mistake,” Shay said. “This is how the New York Police Department supervises the culture of this great city has changed drastically. The communities we protect will feel it immediately. “
Commissioner Shea unexpectedly announced on Monday that the unit will be split and reassigned to other teams. He said these units are the last vestiges of the city’s aggressiveness”Stop and fresh“The overwhelming majority of the policies are aimed at non-whites.
Well, it was felt immediately, but not as Shay suggested.Conversely, the murder rate Continue to rise By the end of 2020. Only recently have things started to level off. But although 2021 May see Compared with 2020, the gun crime rate has dropped by about 2%, but it will still be more than 40% higher than in 2019, which is the year before the rise of the national anti-police movement.
In response to Adams’ statement, BLM leader Hawke Newsom threatened the city he claimed he wanted to help. That happened when Brooklyn sat down.This passes New York Post.
“If they think they are back to the old way of policing, then we will take the streets again,” New York BLM co-founder Hawke Newsom said outside the borough hall after the meeting.
“There will be riots. There will be fires, there will be bloodshed,” he threatened.
I am not sure if it is clearer than this. I can find no ambiguity in Newsome’s comments. What you are reading is a direct terrorist threat to New York City. But when the FBI is busy rounding up grandmothers and people who drink Nancy Pelosi beer, this kind of thing will almost certainly go out of control.
Besides, all this is so self-inflicted. The rise in violent crime in New York is almost entirely directed at minority communities. You would think that a person whose motto is “The life of a black person is important” will care about all black people who have died as a result of the politicization of police affairs. Instead, he is fighting with measures that might make the streets safer.
The cold reality is that unjust police shootings (many cases called injustices are actually not or justifiable) represent a small percentage of blacks murdered in New York. I understand if someone wants to oppose violence from the country. Sometimes I am as skeptical of the police as the people next to me. If the police did something wrong, they should be held accountable. But the demand for policy will eventually lead to more blacks being killed, and at the same time just to combat the self-esteem of certain radicals? This is absolutely crazy and incredibly selfish.
My final thought is to ask why Adams would meet this person? Newsom is obviously not a well-meaning actor. He is a radical partisan who is looking for results that fit his ideology, not to make New Yorkers of all races safer. If the best thing he can do is to threaten to “bleed” when his absurd demands are not met, then he is not worthy to sit on the table.
