There will be fire. There will be bloodshed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But we live in stupid times, in a city that stood supinely as a landmark department store, Macy\u2019s Herald Square, was looted the last time BLM got a mad-on. And in which Alvin Bragg. the candidate for district attorney who promised to be even softer on crime than the marshmallow Cyrus Vance Jr., will take office alongside Adams.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And so Newsome\u2019s ugly threats must be taken seriously. At the very least, he has reason to believe they will be.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Operationally, the issue is not complicated: Adams, who stressed public safety during his own campaign, doubled-down Thursday, promising to reconstitute the NYPD\u2019s plainclothes street-crime squad \u2014 in substance, if not in name. These were the cops who faced down gun violence, and their success can be measured by the fact that while cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore and Philadelphia descended into bullet-riddled chaos over much of the past decade, New York did not.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/hawk-newsome.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Hawk Newsome\" class=\"wp-image-20120622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/hawk-newsome.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/hawk-newsome.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/hawk-newsome.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/hawk-newsome.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>BLM leader Hawk Newsome\u2019s threats of violence must be taken seriously. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Michael Nigro\/Pacific Press\/Shut<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/nyc-crime-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Alvin Bragg will become Manhattan's next DA.\" class=\"wp-image-20120179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/nyc-crime-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/nyc-crime-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/nyc-crime-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Alvin Bragg will become Manhattan\u2019s next DA.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Craig Ruttle, File\/AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Not, that is, until the feckless clown Mayor de Blasio disbanded the Street Crime Unit, with entirely predictable results \u2014 double-digit jumps in gun crime, innocent bystanders lying bleeding in the streets and New York City\u2019s hard-won reputation as the safest big city in America reduced to little more than an ironic joke.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Make no mistake: this is what raised-fist bottom-feeders like Newsome are defending.
