One someone tells you who they are, believe them
Hank Newsome, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, said “There will be riots. There will be fire, and there will be bloodshed” after his meeting with incoming NYC Mayor Eric Adams went off the rails over Adams’ plan to reinstate NYPD anti-crime units:
Incoming mayor @ericadamsfornyc promises to fight crime and rising murder rates by bringing back anti-crime unit. In response, NY BLM leader threatens violence: “There will be riots. There will be fire, and there will be bloodshed.https://t.co/4SNvHBFUP2

Good luck, New York City:
NEW: BLM leaders are threatening "riots" after getting into a shouting match with Eric Adams today over policing.
"If he thinks that they’re going to go back to the old ways of policing…there will be riots," @IamHawkNewsome said after meeting w/ Adams. https://t.co/BKFsOXAd8B

And he compared the NYPD to the Gestapo:

Newsome tweeted this morning that the news accounts were leaving some things out, like how free plant-based meals will stop crime. Or something:

The news won’t tell you this was covered in our meeting w/Mayor Elect Eric Adams.
1. We laid out a wholistic approach to stoping crime.
2. We explained that the answer to violence is opportunity & ending poverty. Not Police.
3. Our people need healthy free plant based meals.
