Eric Adams,a former police officer, stood in front of the police station where he said he was beaten as a teenager: “Some people talk about police brutality. I want to tell you how it is to live through it.”
He was announcing his run for mayor of New York City in a new campaign video.
He’s a Former Cop Who Wants to Be Mayor of New York
Adams, the Brooklyn borough president, was known as a sharp police critic in the 1990s as co-founder of 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care.
He is also known for being public about his health struggles. He lost 30 pounds after learning he had diabetes.

Adams announced his run on a video call because coronavirus cases were rising in the city. He is one of the best-known candidates in a crowded Democratic primary that includesScott Stringer, the city comptroller, andMaya Wiley, a former lawyer for Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Adams is known for being outspoken. He told gentrifiers moving to Brooklyn to “go back to Iowa” in a speech earlier this year.
He also said he would carry a gun as mayor and had brought one to church to protect himself.

Adams said the three most important issues in the mayoral race were:
1. public safety
2. health
3. the economy
While some mayoral hopefuls are boasting about their financial acumen, Adams said he was the most well-rounded candidate.
“This is a complicated city,” he said. “One can’t just be an accountant.”

Adams does not agree with Mayor de Blasio’s decision to close schools. He said they should remain open as long as the data showed they were safe.
“This uncertainty, the emotional back-and-forth for these kids is just devastating,” he told me.

In his campaign announcement, Adams struck a somber tone in discussing the city’s many challenges, including a spike in shootings this year.
But he ended on an optimistic note: “With the right leadership, we will rise up again.”
Read about how Adams got his health under control
As Thies recalls it, Adams talked about how his diabetes scare, two years earlier, had led him to “a bigger-picture way of thinking about the world, and his place in it,” and how, as a police officer, he’d often scarfed down “a bunch of cheeseburgers from McDonald’s” without realizing “that this was a bad idea.” Thies was taken aback: “I thought, That might be the first vulnerable thing I’ve ever heard him say.” Adams, who joined the transit police in 1984, eleven years before it merged with the N.Y.P.D., has said that he felt the first stirrings of mayoral ambition in the early nineties. But, damn it, he did it.” In one of my conversations with Adams this spring, he said, “I never thought for one moment I was going to be mayor. We must raise the bar on the supply of supportive housing we create.” Adams officially joined the mayoral race in November of 2020, announcing his candidacy in true pandemic fashion—on Zoom—and pledging to create a more efficient, functional city government. "During my 35 years as a police officer, community organizer, and elected official, I have seen what works and what doesn’t in New York," Adams said. I’m talking about Rudy Giuliani as mayor,” says Adams. As New York City heads into the Adams’ era, the big question is: What will his administration mean for New York? What kind of mayor will Eric Adams be? “And tonight New York has chosen one of us.” Throughout his campaign, which officially commenced in November 2020, Adams has played up his working-class background and his decades of experience as a public servant—first as a transit cop in the NYPD, then as a police captain and a state senator who served four terms in Albany. If that points to potential virtues in an Adams mayoralty—indefatigability, perhaps; an alertness to working-class and outer-borough interests; trains running on time—it’s also easy to detect, in his administration, the N.Y.P.D.’s historical weaknesses. He replied not with his agenda but with his story, in which he overcame youthful “dark moments” to pursue “justice and safety.” (Becoming mayor, he assured Clinton, was “a natural transition for me.”) Mayor Adams attends all his budget and land-use meetings, which are largely held on Zoom, and at which he is likely to be seen bobbing on an exercise machine. In a campaign video released late Tuesday night, Adams highlighted his experience as a police officer, and said he could keep New Yorkers safe, while helping the city rebound from the coronavirus pandemic and a deepening fiscal crisis. “And that could be a little deterrent.” Adi Talwar Before questions about Adams’ true residency—namely, whether he really lives at his Bed-Stuy brownstone—City Limits reporter David Brand was looking into the borough president’s role as a homeowner, landlord and neighbor. City Limits spoke to Adams at the very start of his borough presidency—he is the first Black Brooklynite to ever hold the post—in January 2014. As Mayor-elect Eric Adams prepares to tackle New York City’s ongoing homelessness crisis, influential advocates and institutional heads are urging him to improve coordination between housing and service agencies to accelerate moves into permanent homes. As borough president, he has been known for championing small businesses and the needs of immigrant communities, while also gaining attention for his shift to a healthy lifestyle, about which he recently published a book, "Healthy at Last.” Prior to being elected to public office, Adams spent 22 years in the NYPD.

"New York City needs a leader who understands the challenges facing everyday New Yorkers," Adams said during his virtual announcement. "I'm running for mayor to build a safer, more equitable, and more prosperous city for all."

Adams, a former NYPD captain and vocal critic of police brutality, has been widely considered a frontrunner in the Democratic primary.  His announcement comes after months of speculation and follows a period of significant national attention on issues of policing and criminal justice reform.

Migrant Protest in City Square Meets Harsh Police Response

In a controversial turn of events, local police have come under fire for their aggressive tactics in dispersing a migrant protest that had taken root in the city's main square. The demonstration, which began as a peaceful assembly of several hundred migrants protesting the lack of adequate housing, quickly escalated into a tense confrontation with law enforcement.

Eyewitnesses report that police officers forcibly removed migrants from their makeshift tent encampment, employing what many observers describe as excessive force. The situation further deteriorated when authorities deployed tear gas to disperse the crowd, a move that has drawn sharp criticism from human rights organizations and community leaders alike.

The protest, which had been gaining momentum in recent days, attracted a diverse group of supporters, including students and local activists. Chants of "Hey, hey, ho, ho, these racist cops have got to go" could be heard echoing through the square as tensions mounted.

The police response has reignited debates about the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers, with many drawing parallels to similar incidents across Europe. One protester, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, "The language is very strange, and they're not helping refugees. If they were wary before, now they are even more disillusioned about their prospects here."

Local authorities defend their actions, claiming that some protesters became "physically and verbally combative" with city officials, necessitating intervention. However, critics argue that the use of tear gas and forceful evictions was a disproportionate response to a peaceful demonstration.

The incident has sparked wider discussions about immigration policies, housing shortages, and police tactics in handling protests. As the situation continues to unfold, calls for an independent investigation into the police response are growing louder, with community leaders urging for a more compassionate and measured approach to addressing the concerns of vulnerable populations.

As the dust settles on this latest confrontation, the underlying issues of migrant housing and integration remain unresolved, leaving many to wonder what steps will be taken to address these pressing concerns in the wake of this controversial police action.

Tensions Escalate as Police Forcefully Evict Migrant Protesters in City Square

In a controversial move that has sparked widespread criticism, local police forcefully evicted hundreds of migrants from their makeshift tent encampment in a large city square. The migrants had settled in the area to protest the lack of adequate housing options available to them.

Eyewitnesses reported that law enforcement officers used tear gas and excessive force to disperse the crowd, leading to chaotic scenes and several injuries. The heavy-handed approach has drawn sharp rebuke from human rights organizations and community leaders alike.

The incident is the latest in a series of clashes between authorities and migrants, highlighting the growing tensions surrounding immigration and housing policies. Protesters at the scene chanted slogans such as "Hey, hey, ho, ho, these racist cops have got to go," reflecting the racial undertones of the conflict.

The controversy has mobilized a larger and more diverse group of supporters in recent days, with anti-racism activists joining the migrants in their cause. At one point, a protest leader was heard shouting "fascist scum," to which the crowd responded, "off our streets."

Police officials defended their actions, claiming that some protesters had become "physically and verbally combative" with university staff, necessitating intervention. However, critics argue that the use of tear gas and forceful eviction tactics was disproportionate and violated the migrants' right to peaceful protest.

The incident has reignited debates about the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers, with many pointing out the stark contrast between the ideals of providing refuge and the harsh realities faced by those seeking shelter. Some migrants expressed their disillusionment, recounting painful experiences in other European countries and lamenting the lack of support in their current situation.

As tensions continue to simmer, local authorities face mounting pressure to address the housing crisis and improve their approach to handling migrant protests. The incident has also raised questions about police tactics and the need for better training in dealing with vulnerable populations.

With far-right groups reportedly organizing counter-protests in some areas, police forces across the country are on high alert, describing the situation as a "national critical incident." The ongoing unrest underscores the complex challenges facing both migrants and host communities as they grapple with issues of integration, housing, and social justice.

Tensions Escalate as Police Forcefully Evict Migrant Protesters in City Square

In a controversial move that has drawn widespread criticism, local police forcefully evicted hundreds of migrants from a large city square where they had settled to protest the lack of adequate housing. The operation, which involved the use of tear gas and what many observers describe as excessive force, has sparked outrage among human rights organizations and community activists.

The migrants, who had set up tents in the square as a form of peaceful protest against insufficient housing provisions, were caught off guard by the sudden police intervention. Eyewitnesses report that officers moved in swiftly, dismantling tents and forcibly removing protesters, some of whom had been living in the makeshift camp for several days.

The use of tear gas to disperse the crowd has been particularly contentious, with many questioning whether such measures were necessary or proportionate to the situation. Several protesters and bystanders required medical attention due to the effects of the chemical irritant.

This incident has reignited debates about the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers, as well as the appropriate use of force by law enforcement. Local activist groups have organized counter-protests, with chants of "Hey, hey, ho, ho, these racist cops have got to go" echoing through nearby streets.

The controversy has mobilized a larger and more diverse crowd of protesters in recent days, drawing support from various segments of society. Some demonstrators have accused the police of racist motivations, further inflaming tensions between law enforcement and the community.

City officials defend the action, stating that the eviction was necessary to maintain public order and safety. However, critics argue that the heavy-handed approach only serves to exacerbate the underlying issues of inadequate housing and support for migrants.

Human rights organizations are calling for an independent investigation into the incident, particularly focusing on the use of tear gas and the allegations of excessive force. They emphasize the need for dialogue and compassionate solutions to address the housing crisis facing migrants, rather than resorting to forceful evictions.

As the situation continues to unfold, there are growing concerns about the potential for further clashes between protesters and police. Community leaders are urging calm and calling for constructive discussions between city officials, law enforcement, and migrant representatives to find a peaceful resolution to the housing crisis and prevent future confrontations.

The operation, which involved the use of tear gas and what many observers describe as excessive force, has reignited debates about police tactics and the treatment of vulnerable populations.

The migrants, who had set up tents in the square as part of their demonstration, were met with a significant police presence early this morning. Eyewitnesses report that officers moved swiftly to dismantle the encampment, using tear gas to disperse crowds and physically removing protesters who refused to leave voluntarily.

The incident has drawn condemnation from human rights organizations, civil liberties groups, and many local residents. Critics argue that the police response was disproportionate and unnecessarily aggressive, particularly given the non-violent nature of the protest.

One student journalist, who was covering the event, reported being forcibly taken into a nearby dormitory along with other reporters and threatened with arrest if they attempted to leave. This action has raised concerns about press freedom and the right to document public events.

As news of the eviction spread, a larger and more diverse group of protesters began to gather at the scene. Chants of "Hey, hey, ho, ho, these racist cops have got to go" could be heard as tensions between demonstrators and law enforcement escalated.

The police defend their actions, stating that some protesters became "physically and verbally combative" with university staff, necessitating intervention. However, this claim is disputed by many eyewitnesses who insist the demonstration remained peaceful until police began their forceful removal of the migrants.

The incident has also brought attention to the broader issues of migrant rights and housing shortages in the city. Many of the evicted individuals have reportedly faced similar treatment in other European countries, adding to their sense of displacement and frustration.

As the situation continues to unfold, calls for an independent investigation into the police's actions are growing louder. Local officials are facing pressure to address both the immediate aftermath of the eviction and the underlying issues that led to the protest in the first place.

This event marks another chapter in the ongoing global debate about migration, police tactics, and the right to protest. As cities around the world grapple with similar challenges, the eyes of many will be on how this situation is resolved and what lessons can be learned to prevent such confrontations in the future.

His campaign is expected to focus on issues such as affordable housing, education, and economic development, all of which are likely to resonate with voters in the city's diverse neighborhoods.

The mayoral election is set to take place in November 2021, and Adams will likely face stiff competition from other prominent Democrats, including former presidential candidates. However, with his established record of public service and his deep connections to the city's communities, Adams is well-positioned to make a strong run for the mayor's office.

As the campaign season heats up, one thing is clear: Eric Adams is ready to take on the challenge of leading New York City, and he is eager to get started.
