Eric Adams: The Swaggering Mayor of New York City

Published | Video Starts at 06:10

Every time I would see a police car, I relived the beating every time I heard a siren. How did somebody who had that experience with police decide to join the police force? The Reverend Herbert Daughtry and a group of civil rights leaders brought 13 young men to the House of the Lord Church and stated that it was time for us to go into the police department and fight for reform. What did you think when they said to you that you should join the police force? I thought they were out of their minds. Captain Eric Adams. (06:10–06:24)
