Lawyer Olayemi Olurin challenged Mayor Eric Adams’s public safety rhetoric, which she deemed as fear-mongering, on Power 105's Breakfast Club.
Lawyer Olayemi Olurin recounts viral Breakfast Club interview with mayor, pushing back on public safety narrativesSign up for our acclaimed free newsletter Editorially Black with the top Racial Equity stories of the day to your inbox!debate between movement lawyer Olayemi Olurin and Mayor Eric Adams sounded more akin to Kool Moe Dee vs. Busy Bee.
For Olurin, solutions look like investment and criminal justice reform. The NYPD boasts one of the city’s largest agency budgets, which she believes should not supersede education, healthcare, and mental health funding. She also advised federal receivership over Rikers Island, which would wrest control over the crumbling jail to a third party.
After the interview, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell called Olurin “misinformed” in an X post and said she “epitomizes everything that true NYers are against.” He followed up with another post asking for the attorney to show up to slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller’s funeral, attached to a screenshot of her blocking him over the site. Olurin, who accused the department of attacking journalists over social media during the Breakfast Club interview, welcomed Chell’s rants.
