TL;DR Summary

Yusef Salaam, one of the Central Park Five who were exonerated in the 1980s rape of a woman in New York's Central Park, has ridiculed an ad Donald Trump placed at the time calling for the return of the death penalty in the state. Salaam's post comes after Trump's arrest in Manhattan on Tuesday when he pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of business fraud. Salaam, now a candidate for the New York City Council, tweeted that Trump "put a bounty on our heads" and that he would not "resort to hatred, bias or racism - as you once did".
