- Yusef Salaam, an exonerated Central Park Five member who was wrongfully accused of raping a jogger and spent seven years in prison, has won the Democratic primary for the NYC council seat. He joins "CNN This Morning" to discuss his journey. #CNN #News
So proud of Yusef Salaam. A living example of triumph and grace. All the very best from a fellow American living abroad.
“I’m gonna go to the cops and tell them what I saw…”
And folks wonder why people don’t trust the police.
yup
If you read the history of the police in America they were created in the worst of times to protect white folks and their properties. Not a coincidence here it is 2023 and that "initial written code of conduct" and the "Qualified Immunity" the police gave themselves hasn't changed nan bit, smh. Can't make this crap up as this is the "Age of Information." I just wish Americans were smart enough to understand this, smh. Instead all too many white folks want to follow trump to create an Alternative Reality and follow Conspiracy Theories, smh. As Inhumane as they come, smh
Wow this dude is inspiring. So proud of the man he has become.
I have rooted for this man and his friends for all the years they suffered wrongly and since. I am in awe at how much he (and they) have done and continue to wish the absolute best!
Right! We've all collectively been rooting for them. And look at how far this one man has come! My heart cries out tears of joy! 🥲❤️🔥
0:24 "before DNA evidence emerged..." You should say "Before the prosecutors got their finger out of that dark place and actually EXAMINED THE EVIDENCE."
The DNA was not missing or hiding. The legal system just COULDN'T BE BOTHERED to examine the evidence. I'm sure Trump had a lot to do with the delay. BAAASTURD!!!
I guess that the black man (free) could go and visit the orange man (in prison).
@@simonmultiverse6349😀😂 That would really be “ a sight for [old] sore eyes “ ! 👍
The Central Park Five could visit Donald Trump in prison at the same time as Hillary Clinton is visiting. That would cheer Trump up.

He is what we need in politics. Serious, well spoken and real life experience

If the crime did occur, I don't see the problem with advocating for capital punishment. No one (likely including Trump) thinks that innocent people should face such a penalty though.

Trump arrested more sex traffickers than any prez in history and tried to secure the border to stop it.

There is Senator Tim Scott. Oops, he’s a Republican. Also there are Vivek Ramaswami and Will Hurd running for president. That makes three that are supposed to be Democrats, oops on the Democrats and their authoritarian rule over Blacks. CNN mustn’t let viewers know that there are Black Republicans. Until the 1960’s most Blacks were Republicans. Then Democrat President Lyndon Johnson lured Blacks with welfare money if the Dad left his family, that broke up many Black families but the mother received the welfare checks. But this network must continue with their two tier endorsements which is bad bad spin for any Republican, wonderful spin for any Democrat. Wish more Democratic voters knew what was in the Democratic Platform, it’s tyranny and Left extremism. 😧

So happy for Yusuf🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I thank this man for his message. I'm so sorry for the hardship he indured. 😟
What an incredible story. This is so inspirational to those who are in the pit of life, not knowing what's coming next or why you're in situation that you find yourself in. I'm so happy for him. And the man, Donald Trump, who falsely helped to put him behind bars decades ago is now rightly indicted in two criminal cases of his own. Wow😅
Donald Trump should be in jail already.
2 cases and counting. Karma's a bitch.
Trump has raped,stole,lied and dreams of having sex with his daughter.Why isnn't he behind bars.Could it be the blatant racism of this country?
KARMA COMES TO BITE HIM IN THE ASS
Karma at it best, when you allow your creator to guide your steps, he order them well, he is planted by his maker! This is why we should not judge people for any reason!
In his darkest hours this man chose to follow the light and not succumb to the world of vicious depravity and ruthlessness he was unjustly thrown in, rather than succumb to his anger, fear, and need to lash out blindly!
It takes a truly strong will and deep committment for someone of his background to overcome those obstacles and become a better man for it!
I applaud this mans courage, his fortitude, and his desire to use his experiences to make the world a better place than the one he found himself!
AMEN!
Amen!!!! 🙏❤
So we'll stated!
Amen!
This incident hit me hard back in the day. I was a kid who hung out in Central Park. For no other reason than a chance to play on the grass. I bothered no one. I often wonder if I could have endured being falsely accused then wrongly imprisoned?
You got lucky.
Powerful! More grace and light to you, sir! 👏🏾
This is redemption, I feel a shiver going down my spine when I think of Yusef and where he is now,,, thank God♥️
What an eloquent , full of Wisdom , incredible speaker
So thrilled he won ❤🎉🎁
He is a shining example of triumph over adversity. May God continue to bless him.
Bring back the death penalty for treason. So proud of this man and his accomplishment. Karma for trump
The Biden's have more communist cash than American.. let that sink in.
KARMA For DJT Agree!
@@ezbreeze9762 Karma Al Sharpton and Shaun King.. agree!🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@fr4752🤣🤣🤣🤣 why you flying the Netherlands flag? 🤣🤣
GOD has blessed this young man with Grace, Mercy and Favor!!!!!
An inspirational guy.
Been through a lot.
For those who are facing the fallout of a failed justice system, Salaam’s words are an inspiration. He is a leader, a hope, a sign of goodness that brings people together for a good cause that has the power to expand into other areas of our failings. I agree, those of similar ancestry, have been the pillars in my life that gave me love, peace, understanding, which was so absent in my own story.
YES. HANG ON IN THERE. GOD BLESS 🙌
It's not a failed justice system as much as there is a failed race. 1 in 3 black males is currently a violent criminal...... so the other 2/3 suffer because there never is a national discussion on this issue. Be sure to keep avoiding a national discussion so it can just continue for more decades!
As a black woman. I would like to say you make me so proud.
I fully understand what he went through. I to was accused of a crime i didnt commit and sat in a stockade for thirty days facing 30 years in prison. Thank God that he has come full circle to lead the people and fight for equality that some of us take for granted.
