New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ first press conference after being indicted on federal charges was interrupted by a heckler calling the former police officer a “disgrace” to the Black community.
“This is not a Black thing, this is a you thing,” the man cried through a bullhorn, just as Adams appeared outside of his Gracie Mansion residence.
“This is a you thing, Eric Adams,” he continued. “This is not a Black thing. Your policies are anti-Black, you’re a disgrace for all Black people in this city. The things that you have done are unconscionable. Our children are harassed by police. This is ridiculous, this is ridiculous. You can shush me all you want, but the people are with us. This is not a Black thing, this is a justice thing.”
