The people he met have no standing with the National BLM group. Theyre local organizers and arguably not as influential as other BLM leaders.

Having said that, this benefits Adams politically. I’m not saying I agree with him. Numbers show that the police group he wants to bring back arent beneficial. But this will garner the support of the cops, middle class diverse base in nyc who sees crime encroaching on their neighborhoods and everybody but the most progressive groups.

ETA: hawk Newsome is a Fox News favorite crank. He’s auing global BLM. He’s anti vaccine mandate. Adams couldn’t have picked a better guy to meet and fight.
