Mayor Eric Adams on NY violence, "Where are all those who said Black lives matter?"

[Reflected]

He is saying what got him into office, there were other picks, people wanted the moderate pro-police pick.

Also, I'm surprised this needs to be said here, the BLM messaging was primarily directed at top-down responsibility. Obviously we want to reduce the crime rates, but with those sworn into office, those that have the ability to dish out lethal force at their discretion, they should be held significantly more accountable than they are today. I understand the issue with the BLM grifters though, but Adams is attacking the message "BLM" not the organization, and he is doing so to secure what got him there in the first place in a rather tight victory.

Is he gonna give us a get out of jail free card for killing black people who commit violence?

No?

Then why the fukk does he need us to protest for the arrests of individuals who likely already got their doors kicked down and are awaiting trial as we speak?

[that guy]

So innocent people caught up in the crossfire of petty beefs should just shut the fck up?

No, innocent people should rely on the police officers and politicians they’re paying with their tax dollars dollars to actually do their fukking job instead of finger wagging.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Violent criminals are going to jail. Why do you keep spreading this lie?

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

black women have an entire movement going on bringing attention to black female murders... they take it very seriously.

but when black male deaths or black children deaths come up - everyone is like "shut up c00n"

If a black man dies or a black child dies - nobody is supposed to ride for them?

I'm not understanding the energy in the thread. Why is everyone upset?

Facts…. This how you know the thread is mostly filled with suckas…. It takes time, energy, and most important of all, sacrifice to affect change in the community to curb violence….. Most of these dudes don’t live around nikkas or in the community to begin with, and if they did, they’re not built to lead anything or anybody

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Where’s the house?

Mayor Adams is currently the legal tenant of it.

 

[CrimsonTider]

black people don't go the jail now

Because of Covid backlog nikkas ain’t going to jail

 

[I Really Mean It]

The same people saying he has a point are the same morons that defend joe Biden everyday on here. They get their talking points and opinions from daytime television.

I highly doubt the people saying he has a point are fans of Joe Biden.

 

[Wildhundreds]

No, innocent people should rely on the police officers and politicians they’re paying with their tax dollars dollars to actually do their fukking job instead of finger wagging.

So you're deflecting because the system was created to destroy black life. So you'd rather rely on the enemy to save us versus having a conversation abiut what each black person in their community can do to stop the violence.

 

[Premeditated]

I sure wish the protest and marching for black on black murders was as huge and publicized as the police on black murders.

*prepares to be called a dumb c00n trying to excuse white supremacy*

 

[breakfuss]

It was intended to both diminish the calls for police accountability and to push the narrative that we're indifferent to intraracial violence. It's horseshyt from a man who believes stop-and-frisk still has merit.

I didn't interpret his words that way but I don't follow NY politics so if you see it differently I won't argue. Assuming it wasn't a dog whistle what he said is perfectly valid. I don't know why the discussion of black crime needs to be handled with white gloves. This is where hyper liberalism loses me. We can't even begin to deconstruct this stuff without folks getting defensive.

 

[Starman]

fukk Eric Adam and BLM

Both sides

 

[TreySav]

BLM was meant to address unjust police action against black Americans. What the Fck does what he’s saying have to do with that?

Does this idiot go to the cancer society and ask why they’re not finding a cure for malaria?

His false equivocation is just jackassery at its finest

 

[Buddy]

BLM is buying mansions out here ao why are they off the hook when they get confronted with some uncomfortable shyt? I tend to agree not so much on the police part, but with the rise pf all this so called pride in "lineage" and the acronyms, etc.

Them b*stards got all the smoke over movie roles and bullshyt like ain't real outside :mjwtf: the news could be talking literally talking about some murder in their own city and they're typing up something about "tethers" or how Pan Africanism is evil-- that's wtf I can't stand
