NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams
bragged in 2019 about being a better police officer than his “cracker”
colleagues in the NYPD, the New York Daily News has learned.
Adams, who was at the time
gearing up to launch his campaign for mayor, went on the racially charged
diatribe while delivering remarks at a private event on Dec. 13, 2019, held by
the Harlem Business Alliance, a video obtained by the Daily News shows.
“Every day in the Police Department, I kicked
those crackers’ a--,” Adams says in the video.
“Man, I was unbelievable in the Police Department with 100
Blacks in Law Enforcement,” he continued, referring to a group that he helped
co-found made up of African American NYPD officers. “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.”
Adams went on to discuss
his forthcoming campaign for mayor, joking that he would rather “grow a beard,
smoke some weed and leave this stuff alone. You hear me?”
“The people who say,
‘Where’s our real Black leaders?’ They’re going to say, ‘Who’s Eric? Why does
Eric think he should be mayor?’ Well, Negro, you run. You run. Go raise the 7
million dollars,” he said. “Let me tell you something, man. They are lining up
— ‘Eric can’t be mayor.’ In the corners of the city, they are lining up. They
know me. They know what I’m about, and they know what I’m going to do as the
mayor of the city of New York. Listen, we’re not going to play this game.”

Lopez-Perez, who filmed Adams’ speech, said, “This is how Black (sic) people talk. To us, it was family. We were
having a conversation with family.”
Lopez-Pere also said, “More
cops are going to get killed because Black (sic) men do not have opportunity.”
