MAYOR RAS J. BARAKA STATEMENT ON PROVIDED VIDEO OF HIS ENTRY AND EXIT AT DELANEY HALL LAST FRIDAY
“For media use, I am providing the linked video clips below to dispel descriptions of my entry into Delaney Hall last Friday as ‘storming’ the facility. These videos make it clear that Delaney Hall personnel opened the gate for me, and allowed me to enter the property, as well as my calm and respectful departure when asked to leave. None of my actions were orchestrated or preconceived, and this arrest occurred because I was specifically targeted by this Administration.”
