NYC Mayor Eric Adams is telling New Yorkers not to worry about the drama that will unfold in Manhattan on Tuesday when Trump is indicted, saying that the NYPD will maintain peace and calm.
“New York City is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger,” he said to anyone who is planning to protest Trump’s arrest.
Adams also warned conservative firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to “be on your best behavior.” Greene has been planning to protest Trump’s indictment during Tuesday’s proceedings.
The mayor said that everyone has a right to protest, but it most be done peacefully, a sentiment that was echoed by NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell.
“Everyone is able to have their voices heard peacefully while exercising their First Amendment rights,” Sewell said, adding that security is being ramped up outside Trump Tower and Manhattan Criminal Court.
“Violence and destruction are not part of legitimate lawful expression,” she said, noting that officials have not yet seen any evidence of a massive influx of protestors, despite Trump’s calls for his fans to demonstrate en masse.
Though massive protests may not occur, officials are still urging New Yorkers to take mass transit due to increased security and road closures that may result in the clogging of Manhattan roads.

Funny, my memory must be going, I dont remember these warnings when BLM wanted to protest, I must be getting old
let this loser take care of the already existing crime problem first
Rude, but we can live with that. Our distinguished Mayor should remember his own words next time BLM decides to flex.
2 tiered system. For them and the rest of us (99%)
But it’s perfectly fine if his ” colored” people burn, rob , plunder and destroy New York when they see fit.
got it so BLM and atnifa and best buddy Al Sharpton can protest, block traffic get arrested like Jumaane Williams does every other month but when Republicans protest an injustice “not part of lawful expression”. How is this guy different from de blasio?
Would it help if we carried signs saying “American lives matter?”
We “Deplorables” NYC taxpayers have no interest in abetting you to pay for a kangaroo trial. We want our tax money to go to important projects such as tunnel under the Hudson, and to improved more reliable subway services.
ajewfrommonsey,
I agree with you. You should get your memory checked out.
You’re mixing up Adams and DeBlasio. DeBlasio was the mayor who didn’t issue these warnings.
Adams came out openly and fiercly against BLM riots:

Just shout BLM BLM BLM or scream “SAY HER NAME” and all will be good.
“But it’s perfectly fine if his ” colored” people burn, rob , plunder and destroy New York when they see fit…”
Correct: REDnecks like MTG have a heter to do whatever they want…with assurance they will enjoy taxpayer funded housing if they exercise those rights.
Tell that to your homies the next time they “protest.”
mentioned something of “safest city in the world” where is that?
This lowlife bum affirmative action Mayor never talks this way when a BLACK homeless bum throws another black, an innocent black, to their death in front of a moving subway train! Adams was borough President during the BLACK BLM riots. He didn’t say a word! Not a peep! As soon as this New Jerseyan became Mayor of NYC, he hired, on the taxpayers expense, his brother to be his bodyguard to protect him from those evil WHITE supremacist that wreak havoc on NYC. This bum learned how to create racial tension from his hero role models, Obama & Eric Holder. Adams is a disgrace.
So when the thugs from BLM and antifa burn and destroy the city that’s okay?
Clearly this mayor is another affirmative action project gone wrong
“But it’s perfectly fine if his ” colored” people burn, rob , plunder and destroy New York when they see fit.”
Do you expect anything more from them?
No when the thugs from BLM and antifa burn down courthouses that is expected of them, when civilized whites who are not from the jungle protest, it is not expected that they will burn things down.
One rule for beheimos another for people.
Apply anything they’re saying to the BLM riots and it becomes hilarious. Where was the line “New York City is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger” then? Or “Violence and destruction are not part of legitimate lawful expression”? I remember when every store in Manhattan was boarded up before the last election, supposedly because they were afraid *Trump* supporters would riot if they lost. Those boards came down pretty fast when the Left won. Tells you a lot about who they were actually afraid of.
Mr. Adams says criminal acts will not be tolerated. In the spirit of the season I ax him: why is this day different from all others in NYC?
