NYC Mayor Apologizes for Using Slur Against White People in Unearthed Video

New York City Mayor Eric Adams apologized Friday after a video surfaced
showing him calling white NYPD officers a racist slur during an event in
2019.

A video obtained by several news outlets showed Adams, a Democrat, telling
people at a private event that "every day in the police department, I
kicked those crackers' [expletive]."

"Man, I was unbelievable in the police department with 100 Blacks in Law
Enforcement," he continued, referring to Blacks in Law Enforcement, an
advocacy group he helped found. "Became a sergeant, a lieutenant, and a
captain. You know the story ... some people all of a sudden trying to
reinvent me. But the reality is what I was then is who I am now."

When asked about the video on Friday, Adams quickly apologized. He also
noted that the context of his remarks is key.

"I definitely apologize. Inappropriate, inappropriate comments, should not
have been used," the mayor told the New York Daily News. "Someone asked me
a question using that comment and playing on that word. I responded in
that comment, but clearly these comments should not have been used, and I
apologize not only to those who heard it, but to New Yorkers because they
should expect more from me."

The video was uncovered just weeks after Adams was sworn in as mayor,
replacing the widely criticized Democrat Bill de Blasio.

While campaigning for the mayor's seat, Adams took a hard stance against
the "defund the police" movement, which was embraced by a number of
Democrats. Before retiring in 2006, Adams had long worked for the NYPD.

It comes, meanwhile, as Adams said that he is working on assembling a new
specialized NYPD unit aimed at dealing with crime. New York City, like
other major metropolitan areas, saw a spike in homicides in both 2020 and
2021.

"This is not the Anti-Crime Unit," Adams said Friday. "These officers will
be in modified police uniforms, readily identified in unmarked vehicles.
They're going to do precision policing to go after those 500 to 600 known
trigger-pullers that are producing 17 percent of the violence in the
city."

Adams said he is calling for a 9/11-style response to a surge in shootings
and homicides.

Pat Lynch, president of the Police Benevolent Association and who endorsed
former President Donald Trump's reelection, said Friday that he spoke to
Adams about the video. He called on union members not to "rush to
outrage."

"We have spent far too many hours together in hospital emergency rooms
these past few weeks, and we've worked together for decades before that,"
Lynch said in a statement. "A few seconds of video will not define our
relationship. We have a lot of work to do together to support our members
on the streets."

The Epoch Times has contacted the mayor's office for additional comment.
