The largest union representing New York City police officers blasted Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), a frequent target, for his comments during Wednesday night’s Democratic debate about discussing how to avoid police run-ins with his African American son.
"Mayor de Blasio has apparently learned nothing over the past six years about the extremely damaging impact of anti-police rhetoric on both cops and the communities we serve,” Patrolmen's Benevolent Association of New York President Patrick Lynch said in a statement.
“Something that sets me apart from all my colleagues running in this race and that is for the last 21 years I’ve been raising a black son in America,” de Blasio had said at the Miami debate in response to a question about gun violence.
“I have had to have very, very serious talks with my son … including how to deal with the fact that he has to take special caution,” he added, going on to reference a police shooting in South Bend, Ind., that has dogged the presidential campaign of Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D).
Lynch has frequently accused de Blasio of anti-police rhetoric, leading a contingent of police in turning their backs on de Blasio after the 2014 murder of two police officers by a man claiming he was motivated by the police killings of Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
Lynch also defended the 2014 killing of Garner, who died after an NYPD officer placed him in a chokehold. “We believe Mr. Garner made a choice that day to resist arrest,” Lynch said.
The union also blasted de Blasio’s decision to enter the crowded Democratic presidential race, saying in a May statement "While the mayor of our nation’s largest city is busy running around Iowa and getting upstaged by the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, there are real problems here at home.”
deblobio is the worse possible candidate of them all! A radical self-hating communist.
I wonder what de Blasio’s net worth is.
More than yours?
Mine?
Ask Soros.
Maybe-but we all know-without the FOP endorsement- he couldn’t have been elected to start with! Elections have consequences
Must be terrible to wake up every morning in a country you loathe, but which has made you rich, successful, and powerful.
Amazing.
Cops typically do not like communists.

"My qualifications? Well, I'm a miserable failure at running a city that's 40 times smaller than the United States."
Geeez ... The Hill is not too biased here. Perhaps its the other way around, that the NYPD is a frequent target of Mayor de Blasshole ... did The Hill ever think of that particular narrative ?
Well, you only say that because, according to de Blasshole, you got all the money and it's in the wrong hands (according to de Blasshole)
Excellent.
Yep .. I often run this same meme towards my leftie friends ... it always results in 'crickets chirping'
Chris Matthews said de Blasio was one of the most impressive people on the stage, although he felt Joe Biden was the big winner despite not being there because he wasn’t attacked by the other candidates.

DeBlasio is also spending NY $$$$ to pay a years rent for homeless in NYC & to send them to a different city to live with that year’s rent $$$..Over 10,000 sent to over 300 cities.
