Bill de Blasio, like his progressive political idol Barack Obama, is finding out that you cant do the New Politics if you dont pay attention to the old politics.
In Obamas case, it was a failure to recognize the threat posed to him by Republicans who didnt buy into his calls for a post-partisan partnership with Congress. For New Yorks ambitious liberal mayor, it was an inability to keep long-simmering tensions with the citys traditionally powerful police department from boiling over in the last few days.
Just over a year after sailing into office with 72 percent of the vote on a message of transformational change, de Blasio found his mayoralty subsumed by a torrent of anger, unleashed by the murder of two police officers in Brooklyn Saturday by a troubled gunman who said he was killing pigs to avenge the deaths of two men by cops in Staten Island and Ferguson, Missouri. By Monday, de Blasio was lashing out at the press corps that covers him, trying to paper over public divisions with his own police commissioner and coping with what friends described as the emotional blow of facing public rejection by many in the nations biggest police force. Hes pretty badly shaken by the murders, one told us....

His real name is Warren Wilhelm, no doubt he changed it because it sounds a little too, shall we say Third Reich-ish. Hey a sleazebag politician gotta do what a sleazebag politician gotta do to shore up the Jewish vote.
“I am sorry, this cuts two ways, the police have isolated themselves from the people they are sworn to protect. They have a lot of fence mending to do.”
I have to agree with you. Law Enforcement today doe not deal effectively with errant members. I’ve seen some egregious stuff that simply gets swept under the rug by the colluding DAs, or the political entity ponies up a bunch of money and those who perpetrated the abuse usually bear little or no personal punishment. And yes, I think that Brown and Garner were both necessary (and legal) arrests, but in Garner’s case the optics were terrible and the manhandling should have been avoided. Lastly, the cop killings in NYC were simply simply the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen. To single out two men at random and just execute them without any cause whatsoever shows you what a depraved place that city is.
It also shows the kind of scum police deal with on a daily basis. And I for one, am glad somebody puts their necks on the line every day to keep that scum away from the rest of us.
“De Blasio allies often point out that the city has changed since the days of Giuliani. Blacks and Hispanics are now in the majority.”
Meaning what exactly? That New York is headed in the same direction as Detroit and all the other dying white-minority, Democrat-majority cities?
“[de Blasio’s] message, however, was now the same as Brattons: Protests could wait until after the funerals for the two men had passed.
Wow, how decent. Wait until the two cops that were assassinated due to de Blasio’s inflammatory anti-cop rhetoric are buried, and THEN restart the inflammatory anti-cop rhetoric to get some MORE NYPD cops assassinated!
Umm! Satan already resides in our president.
Not to stop. but to take a break until after the funerals, so actually he is just requesting a DELAY of their rants and terrorist actions.
for respect for the families of the murdered Officer’s. He does seem a bit concerned about himself, and Personally he SHOULD BE TOLD TO RESIGN..THE QUICKER THE BETTER..
“The reason seems to be a divorce with a rejection of having anything to do with his father including keeping his fathers last name. De Blasio seems to be the family name of his mothers.”
I don’t give a $hit about Colonel Wilhelm Klink or whatever he chooses to call himself. Why should anyone here think that this is worth talking about?
None of us would throw water on him if he were on fire!
Historic figures that have often had the worst behaviors associated with them have often had major disconnects with their fathers.
Meanwhile on Planet Earth events are following the usual path, liberalism creates chaos and disaster, socialism increases poverty except for the connected and community organizing spreads hatred and violence.
Who are these idiots? You can't do the New Politics because they don't work. It has nothing to do with "old politics."
He was born Warren Wilhelm, Jr. and at 18 he took the name Warren De Blasio-Wilhelm....just like a GIRL!!!
He was Warren Wilhelm, Jr.
“....another Dinkins...”
No.
Dinkins was just an idiot.
This guy is an idiot AND a professional ideologue, and that makes him much more dangerous.
However... NYC voted him in. He’s their problem.
“Now hes lost his supporters by calling for them to stop protesting.”...
I don’t expect that to work out too well either.
I know they know what I said in the comment.
” Another Dinkins?? “
Yep. General Dinkins, redux.
