&#8220;fire,&#8221; and &#8220;bloodshed&#8221; if New York City&#8217;s mayor-elect follows through on his campaign pledge to bring back plainclothes police officers, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/11\/11\/blm-leader-hawk-newsome-threatens-riots-after-sit-down-with-eric-adams\/\">according to<\/a> the <em>New York Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If they think they are going back to the old ways of policing, then we&#8217;re going to take to the streets again,&#8221; New York BLM cofounder Hawk Newsome said following a heated discussion Wednesday night with Eric Adams. &#8220;There will be riots, there will be fire, and there will be bloodshed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adams, the Brooklyn borough president and a former NYPD captain, promised during his campaign to be tough on crime as New York City&#8217;s next mayor, which he said would include bringing back an undercover police unit. Following his meeting with Newsome, Adams remained undaunted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I made it clear on the campaign trail,&#8221; Adams told CNN on Thursday morning. &#8220;I\u2019m going to put in place a plainclothes gun unit. We must zero in on gun violence in our community. \u2026 That was my promise, and I\u2019m going to keep it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>NYPD commissioner Dermot Shea dissolved the undercover unit, which had about 600 officers, in June 2020, citing a &#8220;disproportionate&#8221; number of police shootings. In 2014, a plainclothes police officer choked Eric Garner to death. Garner&#8217;s last words, &#8220;I can&#8217;t breathe,&#8221; became a rallying cry of the Black Lives Matter movement.<\/p>\n<p>Newsome told the <em>Post<\/em> Adams was &#8220;tone deaf&#8221; to African Americans&#8217; concerns with policing in the city and &#8220;didn\u2019t offer a comment on police reform&#8221; during their meeting. He also tried to clarify his earlier remarks, saying he was &#8220;not threatening&#8221; but predicting a &#8220;natural response&#8221; of New Yorkers to &#8220;aggressive oppression.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will be at his front door, we will be at Gracie Mansion, we will be in the streets, if he allows these police to abuse us,&#8221; Newsome said. &#8220;I am not threatening anyone. I am just saying that it\u2019s a natural response to aggressive oppression, people will react.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Newsome made similar remarks in June 2020 following the murder of George Floyd, saying on Fox News that &#8220;if this country doesn&#8217;t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adams told the <em>Post<\/em> he believes there will be &#8220;safe streets and racial justice,&#8221; adding that he put his &#8220;body on the line&#8221; for the city as an NYPD officer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Black lives truly matter, then we must address violence in our communities while we address bias in policing,&#8221; Adams said. &#8220;Yelling and not listening gets us nowhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adams has served as Brooklyn borough president since 2014. He served as an NYPD officer for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latest News New York BLM cofounder warns mayor-elect against return to undercover policing  New York BLM cofounder Hawk Newsome \/ Getty Images  Josh Christenson &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-998864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/998864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/190"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=998864"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/998864\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=998864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=998864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=998864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
