Ex-NYC Mayor de Blasio deliberately held back cops during George Floyd protests, new Melissa DeRosa book claims

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aide Melissa DeRosa has claimed that then-Mayor Bill de Blasio deliberately failed to deploy enough cops during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in New York City because he feared violent clashes between the NYPD and protesters would embarrass him.

Like many other issues, how to handle the protests that erupted over the police killing of George Floyd in Minnesota triggered disagreements between Cuomo and de Blasio, recounts DeRosa in her forthcoming memoir, “What’s Left Unsaid: My Life at the Center of Power, Politics & Crisis.”

“We learned that a high-ranking member of the police union had reached out directly to the governor that morning with disturbing information: he believed that de Blasio, fearful of more police clashes with protesters going viral on video, was purposefully not deploying additional bodies,” DeRosa writes, according to an excerpt obtained by The Post.

Gee...what a surprise!

The recently elected Governor of Massachusetts,Maura Healy,was the state's Attorney General during the Rat Party's “Summer of Love” (2020). During the riots she,a filthy bull dyke Maoist,said in a speech “yes,America is in flames...but that's how forests grow”

The Freddy Grey riots in Baltimore were orchestrated as well same as Charlotte, Atlanta and all the others. Ben Crump and Obama needed clients and Sharpton needed rebranding.

“police killing of George Floyd”

This is inaccurate. Cops did not kill Floyd.

I believe it. He is one of those elected officials who has hypnotized himself to accept all tonnage of White Guilt that CRT demands. He accepts it all, and without question or consideration of collateral damages to individual employees.
I think my governor Gavin is cut from the same artificially made cloth.
