NEWYORK: New York city Mayor Eric Adams said that no other country has dream attached to its name like American Dream.
Addressing NYPD recruit graduation ceremony, Mayor Adams said that American Dream stands for something that you are members of the protector of that dream.
“You’re in the greatest Police Department on the globe. In the greatest city on the globe. We are the American Dream,”he said.
“Hate believes that the only answer is violence and destruction. When you could have a 20-year-old young man get an automatic weapon, and hate someone to the level that not only did they want to take the life of the former president, but also the lives of those innocent people who were around them,” he said.
“That’s the hate that we must destroy. I say to you, the men and women of the New York City Police Department, that’s the hate you will be policing in. Your job is more than just stopping bad guys. Your job is more than responding to calls of services. Your job is to identify those who are on the pathway of that hate. The radicalization of our young people. The belief that we no longer love the country that made it possible for so many people to move forward,” he said.
He said that anger motivates us. “Anger motivated me to become a police officer 40 years ago. Anger motivated me to see how cities should not betray children and families. Anger motivated me to go to school at night, and move forward, and provide a safe environment for our city,” he said.
