This city has been through so much. But I want to remind EVERYONE who is feeling worried, frustrated or angry that we will come through this. New York City ALWAYS has.
Yesterday, we had a lot of trouble in some parts of the city. I was in the Bronx last night. What I saw doesn’t represent the people of the Bronx. We saw a criminal few try to tear down progress that people fought for over decades. It doesn’t represent the people of this city.
We’re going to move forward. Why do I know it? Because I've seen it so many times before with my own eyes. Don't tell a New Yorker what we can't do. We’ll show you what we can do.
We saw a very poignant moment in Washington Square Park yesterday during a moment of tension. Chief Terry Monahan, our highest-ranking uniform officer, stepped up to diffuse it and engaged in dialogue with protest leaders.
They asked Chief Monahan if he would take a knee to show he understood and respected their message. And he did. Moments like that are how I know we will find a way through.
Anyone who is upset about the status quo: I am, too. This is why I came here: to change a broken status quo. We have a lot more to do. If you choose to protest today, do it in the daytime hours and then please go home. We have work to do this evening to keep a peaceful city.
We’re stronger than the coronavirus. We are stronger than the horrible legacy of racism we've inherited. We will meet this moment of crisis and will come through it a stronger, fairer city.
