Watch: NYC's Black Mayor Rips Dems For Not Supporting Cops & BLM Leader Calls Him The 'C' Word

NYC Mayor Eric Adams renounces his fellow Democrats for only backing Black Lives Matter when those behind the killings of African-Americans are cops.

Adams, talking with Anderson Cooper on CBS’ 60 Minutes, continued his habit of denouncing the party for being soft on crime.

“Democrats don’t like talking about intervention,” announced Adams, 61. “But we have to lean into the discomfort of the immediate things we must do. Because you can’t say Black Lives Matter when a police officer shoots a young person, but does that Black life matter when a 12-year-old baby was shot?”

Cooper questioned Adams about why Democrats don’t like talking about intervention.

Adams replied: “Because when you talk about intervention, you have to use the term of giving police officers the tools to deal with violence right now.”

Cooper retorted by stating it made liberals worried because it made him sound like former Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Giuliani’s zero-tolerance “broken windows” policing approach was credited with hammering crime in New York City during the 90s. However, critics say it drove cops to disproportionately target innocent Black people.

“They have allowed Rudy Giuliani to hijack something that the overwhelming number of people of color want,” Adams announced. “They will tell you, ‘We want our police. We don’t want our police to be abusive.’ And that is the balance that I know we can do in this - in this city.”

Adams, who called himself a “simple, pragmatic Democrat,” denied rumors that he had voted for Giuliani in the 90s though he admitted to registering as a Republican.

“I was a police officer, and I saw the violence, and I wasn’t seeing any help on the federal level. It was a protest vote.”

Adams felt that the focus on police abuses had led Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to take reforms too far in the opposite direction.

“There is a middle ground. We only talk about, ‘How do we protect the rights of those who commit a crime?’ How about start talking about, ‘How do we protect the rights of people who are doing the right thing?’”

Cooper did push Adams on the subject of corruption, especially when it comes to Deputy Mayor for Safety Philip Banks, who resigned from the force in 2014 and was later named an unindicted co-conspirator in a police corruption case.

“Is that the kind of person you really want to have in your inner circle?” Cooper questioned.

Adams announced: “We’re in a city of perfectly imperfect people. During a time when we have a law enforcement crisis, Phil brings a lot to the table.”

Cooper replied: “There was testimony that he let a businessman pay for his vacation travel and expenses. You said you’re not going to tolerate wrongdoing by your officers. Are the things he did okay?”
