LOWER CRIME RATE? Better look again----no doubt Bratton relied on the scam he used when he Commissioned under Giuliani: manipulate the stats--refigure the way crimes are reported....eliminate some crimes from the statistics.
==============================================
Big Bird clearly lied about the purpose of the presser.....the whole point was to assemble the press corps as a sounding board.....so ego-driven Big Bird could whine about cops turning their backs on him.
Bratton was clearly coached to attack cops---as the way to massage Birdman's bruised ego.
Blabbio's knee-deep in bird doo---and the "Progressive genius" still hasn't figured how to get out of it----except by bashing cops.
===================================================
It was astounding to see Bratton at the presser----practically prostrate, all puckered up, sucking up to Blabbio--- vitrolically bashing cops.
Is Blabbio buying Bratton's loyalty? Let's connect the dots.
<><> Blabbio recently announced he "showed his support" for cops by giving Bratton $132 million;
<><> the city's procurement bulletin notes that Bratton's close pal is getting a cushy no-bid deal from the NYPD. Read on.
NY POST REPORT EXCERPT---The NYPD is poised to issue a no-bid contract to a pal of Commissioner Bratton.......the deal with Strategic Policy Partnerships is to fulfill Bratton and Mayor de Blasio’s mandate to fix community policing in the wake of the Eric Garner case.
The contract subsidizes training for high-ranking police officers to mend community relations and enhances cadet training.... according to City Record, the official publication for NYC procurements.
The no-bid firm is headed by Bratton friend, Robert Wasserman, onetime partner in The Bratton Group--a L/E consulting firm Bratton ran before taking NYPD’s top job last January....the two pals raked in more than $53,000 on a contract with the Baltimore Police Dept in 2013.....and as L/E consultants in Oakland, Calif, where Bratton earned $125,000.
Wasserman founded Strategic Policy Partnerships in Feb 2012. He served as a consultant (a) during Bratton's tenure as LA's police chief 2002-2009, and, (b) when Bratton was NYPD commissioner in 1994 (under Giuliani).
Wasserman's more recent contract entitled, "the transition of the Bratton administration in 2014” was funded by the n/p "Police Foundation..."
But the new no-bid deal will be financed by taxpayers.....tax dollars will be flowing like Proressive BS.
===============================================
That whining sound you hear is Bratton saying: "What's my cut?"
