BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – The head of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York met with Eric Adams, the city’s mayor-elect, to discuss policing and warned that there will be “bloodshed” if the city returns to its pre-De Blasio model, according to a report.
Adams, himself a former police captain, met with Hawk Newsome, the BLM leader, and others behind closed doors at Brooklyn’s Borough Hall, the New York Daily News reported.
The meeting was tense and turned into a shouting match, the paper reported. One of the key issues raised was the possibility that the city could reinstate its anti-crime unit, which Newsome compared to the Nazi Gestapo.
“If a white person kills a black person for any and every reason, I want that person to automatically get life in prison, with no chance of parole,” Newsome shouted during the meeting.
“What do you think should be done when a black person kills another black person?” asked Adams.
Newsome quickly responded. “I feel that’s an in-house matter not a police matter, and the murdered victim’s family should gracefully except an apology from the killer, and move on.”
