The commencement ceremony of CUNY Law witnessed the Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, being jeered by the audience.

During a graduation ceremony at City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law, Mayor Eric Adams received negative reactions from the audience when he mentioned his past experience as a law enforcement officer.
Adams gave a brief talk to the audience, and when he brought up his past work in the NYPD, many students started yelling. The mayor had served as a police officer for 22 years and completed his training at the New York City Police Academy in 1984.
A Twitter video depicts a large group of law graduates turning their backs on Adams as a form of protest during his speech.
The speaker emphasized that he had spent 22 years of his life as a police officer, wearing a bulletproof vest and safeguarding the city's children and families. Despite the crowd's disapproval, he stated that he had firsthand knowledge of the situation.
I am aware of the requirements to maintain the unity of this city.
Adams further stated that there are numerous obstacles and areas that require strict adherence.
The police in New York have been sent to prevent migrant buses from entering the city, and have even threatened to physically harm the mayor. This is happening at the same time as student protests, which are taking place following the recent murder of Jordan Neely on a subway train.
On Friday, Daniel Penny, a former Marine who restrained Neely by placing him in a chokehold during his erratic behavior, was formally charged.
The NYPD faced criticism for releasing Penny without pressing charges after the incident.
Last week, there were clashes between the NYPD and protestors during demonstrations.
Adams had been booed in public before the CUNY Law speech.
Last June, while participating in a Brooklyn Pride parade, Adams was subjected to verbal abuse by some of the attendees who used foul language and made obscene gestures towards him.
