[1]Mayor Bill, b/k/a New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio thinks the New York City Police Department is the problem, from Heather Mac Donald, New York Daily News [2]:
Following the nonindictment of Officer Daniel Pantaleo for the lethal arrest of Eric Garner last July, de Blasio said that Garner’s death and the grand jury’s failure to indict sprung from “not years of racism . . . , or decades of racism, but centuries of racism.” The mayor worries “every night,” he said, about the “dangers” his biracial son, Dante, may face from “officers who are paid to protect him.”
In other words, de Blasio thinks that his son is at risk of injury or death from an NYPD officer every time he steps outside at night. And he sees the officers who tried to arrest a resisting Garner as the culmination of centuries of racism, even though the shopkeepers in the area who had been urging the police to clear up lawlessness were mostly minorities themselves.
In turn , Mayor Bill’s paid lacky and police commissioner, William Bratton, thinks the NYPD also the problem, Useless Toady [3]:
Ahead of Sunday’s funeral for slain NYPD officer Wenjian Liu, New York Police Commissioner William Bratton has asked officers to show respect when Mayor Bill de Blasio speaks at the event.
“I remind you that when you don the uniform of this department, you are bound by the tradition, honor and decency that go with it,” Bratton wrote Friday in a memo sent to officers. Saturday’s wake and Sunday’s funeral for Liu are expected to draw thousands of mourners and police officers from around the country.
Bratton must think loyalty is a one way street. Whereas Mayor Bill living behind the fence of Gracie Mansion, owe no respect to the thirty five thousand NYPD officers who put their lives on the line to protect both Mayor Bills and the citizens of Gotham.
