NYC Mayor de Blasio has yet to publicly confirm his attendance at Al Sharpton’s annual forum Monday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day....raising questions about whether the Mayor might distance himself from the reverend. de Blasio faced intense criticism from police union leaders, and hasn’t been seen publicly with Mr. Sharpton, a frequent police critic.
Last year, de Blasio announced Rachel Noerdlinger, former Sharpton aide, as chief of staff to Mrs. de Blasio. de Blasio gave his wife total control of the multi-million dollar "Mayor's Fund." Noerdlinger has since left after objections about her live-in--- a man w/ a criminal record and history of anti-police comments online.
In July, Mr. de Blasio gave Mr. Sharpton a prominent spot at a City Hall forum to discuss the death of an unarmed black man who last summer after resisting police arrest for allegedly selling loose cigarettes. Critics said it was wrong of Mr. de Blasio to give Sharpton such a prominent position....seated w/ Police Commissioner Bratton. Bratton later said he made a mistake to sit w/ Sharpton.
While some of the mayor’s critics have urged de Blasio to distance himself from Sharpton, Sharpton said there has been no change in the relationship. Sharpton said he talked with the mayor this week about that Pres Obama's task force to examine police forces and community relationships. Messrs. de Blasio and Sharpton were at the White House when Mr. Obama launched the panel.
