New York City Mayor Eric Adams has come forward to defend the police crackdown on campus protests in the city. These protests have gained significant attention as they have become the focal point of demonstrations across the country against the Israel-Hamas war.

In an interview with ABC News “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl, Adams emphasized the importance of safeguarding democracy and the right to protest. He acknowledged the need to maintain a delicate balance, stating that when protests escalate into violence, it becomes necessary to use the least amount of force possible. This decision is informed not only by intelligence reports but also by input from school and college officials.

When Karl confronted Adams about the criticism surrounding the response to protesters, including some from fellow Democrats, accusing it of being excessive and inappropriate on school grounds, Adams responded by saying, “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I have great respect for that. However, it is my duty and responsibility to prioritize the safety of our city.”

“There is a growing concern regarding the promotion of a specific agenda, and as I have repeatedly emphasized, there is a genuine effort to influence our youth,” he expressed. “Upon examining the data and the individuals involved, it is crucial to acknowledge that we must not underestimate the seriousness of this situation.”

Adams urges universities to proceed with planned graduation ceremonies despite the recent arrests and violent disruptions on campuses, emphasizing that it is a truly remarkable and enriching experience.

“We shouldn’t let anything hinder our everyday lives,” he stated confidently. “We will fulfill our responsibilities.”

“We will ensure that if the institution chooses to graduate their students and create a memorable experience for their families, it will be done in a peaceful manner,” he added.

New York City officials claim that professional “outside agitators” have co-opted the protests, a charge that pro-Palestinian supporters have strongly denied.

When Karl challenged that description, Adams remained steadfast in his support.

According to officials, the ongoing campus protests across the U.S. have resulted in the arrest of over 2,400 protesters, including both affiliated and non-affiliated individuals from educational institutions.

According to Adams, protesting within the city is open to anyone. However, when individuals who are not students of a particular college protest on its grounds, they are considered outsiders. Furthermore, Adams believes that teaching individuals to engage in disruptive actions during protests categorizes them as agitators.

“I’m not attempting to conform to political correctness,” he stated. “Rather, I am striving for accuracy and safety for the city of New York.”
