00:00As always, the NYPD will protect every person's right to protest peacefully.

00:13That right is central to our democracy, and the NYPD is committed to ensuring that people

00:18can always exercise that right safely.

00:23And as a matter of city law, we do not engage in civil immigration enforcement, period.

00:32We will continue to follow the law.

00:34But let me be crystal clear.

00:37We have no tolerance for violence, none.

00:40We have no tolerance for property damage.

00:43We have no tolerance for people blocking entrances to buildings, or blocking driveways, or blocking

00:48cars for moving.

00:51And any attacks against law enforcement will be met with a swift and decisive response

00:56from the NYPD.

00:58We are responsible for public safety and maintaining order in this city, and we will never abdicate

01:04that responsibility.

01:06I was on the phone all weekend with our federal partners.

01:09The message that I conveyed to them is the same message that I am conveying to you right

01:13now.

01:15At the New York City Police Department, we know how to police protests in a manner that maintains

01:20public safety and upholds the law.

01:24We have done so in thousands of protests over the last few years, and we will continue doing

01:29so going forward.

01:31At the mayor's direction, we have put plans in place so that if we do experience civil unrest

01:37of the sort that we have been witnessing in California, the full resources of the New

01:42York City Police Department are available and prepared to respond.

01:47We will maintain public order, and we will do it consistent with the law.

01:52I have tremendous confidence in the men and women of the NYPD who are expert in carrying

01:57out this critical work.

01:59I know that I speak on behalf of millions of New Yorkers who are grateful to them for their

02:04professionalism and for their commitment to service.

02:07keeping the people of our city safe has always been my North Star.

02:16That means keeping people safe from violent protests, and it means protecting people who

02:21are trying to do the right thing by protesting peacefully for what they believe.

02:27When I was a police officer, I met a man from China who was the victim of a crime, but was

02:32too scared to file a police report because of his immigration status.

02:38I think about that story often, and it is why I believe we must build a system based on

02:43trust, not fear.

02:45But two wrongs do not make it right.

02:47I understand that some New Yorkers may be angry, afraid, and ready to express that.

02:53New York City will always be a place to peacefully protest, but we will not allow violence and

03:00lawlessness.

03:01The escalation of protests in Los Angeles over the last couple of days is unacceptable and

03:07will not be tolerated if attempted in our city.

03:10And I want to assure all New Yorkers that we have the best police department in the world.

03:17Men and women who are prepared to handle any issues that may arise, especially when we

03:23are faced with deep division in our society.

03:27We should be able to express our sorrow and our rage, but we must turn pain into purpose.

03:34I encourage those who want to protest to heed the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who

03:41showed our great nation the power of peaceful protest.

03:45In 1964 speech, he said, nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon which cuts without wounding and

03:55ennobles the man who wills it.

03:58It is a sword that heals.

04:01In the face of conflict and division, we must choose peace and compassion over anger and retaliation.

04:09New York City and all across the nation.

04:12In the pursuit of justice, we must choose the sword that heals.

04:17Balancing the needs for safety with the ideals of pursuing justice is what I have dedicated

04:22over 40 years of my life to and what I will continue to do as the mayor of New York City.

04:39what is the chancellor's stephoes of the nation?

04:40Let's see.

04:41Let's see.

04:46Let's see.

04:50In the Deutsches' month, these are sort of gonna be one of the people who are showing

04:52the body.

04:53Let's see what the president was saying.
