De Blasio and Dinkins: When cops and mayors feud

nypost.com ^ | John Podhoretz

[RoosterRedux]

He [de Blasio] said as much when he proudly informed the world he had warned his own biracial son to beware the cops.

In doing so, he did not sink to Dinkins’ level in the matter of Kiko Garcia. But in delineating a hostile racial divide between his own family and the police, he did something emotionally abusive to 34,000 people who work for him.

After a fanatic assassinated two cops on Saturday, de Blasio clearly understood he had to do something to calm the waters between himself and the NYPD.

But it was telling that de Blasio could not restrain himself during a press conference he called on Monday to try to set things right with the NYPD — reserving his greatest passion for an unplanned defense of anti-cop demonstrators against the media.

So, yes, he has three years to fix things. Problem is, he’s Bill de Blasio.

And Bill de Blasio gives every indication that, left to his natural instincts, he’ll just make things worse.

Quick, get me a barf bag----this is the sickest thing I have ever seen.

Sicko mayor and his (gag) wife pray they won't
get kicked into the street on their stupid rear ends.

[equaviator]

Please, PLEASE!...keep him out of Detroit!

DiBlobbio's friend and perennial suckup---Al Sharpton---told Reuters the Mayor's request to halt protests (until the assassinated officers were buried) was "ill-defined" ... "Is a vigil a protest? Is it a rally?" dumb-head Sharpton asked.

Maybe Sharpton's financial supporters know the answer. Read on.

========================================================

Fox's Melissa Frances reported on The Kelly File that Al Sharpton not only hosts an MSNBC show, but that:

<><> MSNBC Corporate finances Sharpton's Ntl Action Network (NAN);

<><>Comcast is also one of Sharpton's financial backers

<><> MSNBC AND COMCAST are reportedly negotiating to buy Sharpton's NAN network.

——he has three years to fix things-—

That assumes facts not in evidence. There is no evidence De Blasio, the German-American Mayor of New York, has the intelligence or the ability to fix anything except his re election

[Islander7]

deBlasio is:

A) deMented

B) deBased

C) deLusional

D) deRanged

E) All of deAbove

Sharpton is : deGenerate

Disappointing piece from a normally good (at least for NY) source. The key issue is not NYC going to hell or not, it’s whether DeBlasio can rescue his political career. Sheesh - just like DC, the NY press is all about “the game” - or as Rush calls it - “the soap opera” - and not about THE DAMNED REALITY these people create for all of us.

[Arlis]

As he is really Warren Wilheim, Jr., and lies about his real name just like his brother Barry, isn’t everything he does and says a lie? It’s the nature of Marxists........and how they accomplish all they want to do.......

[bert]

Comcast has it’s physical facilities mounted on poles all across America, in plain view.

[blastdad51]

I wonder just who they are praying to?

[fella]

At least the NYPOST has come off of that executed mimi that the MSM has been pushing. An execution implies a preceding trial and conviction.

But the murder of the white girl down in Mississippi might just be a gang style execution.

[ChronicMA]

These two are what one term mayors look like.

There is an opportunity for a good law and order mayor to be elected in 3 years. Who will that be?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I was going to comment until I read your post. Great analysis!

[Grampa Dave]

When Sharpton, De Blasio, Holder and Obozo get through having their thugs kill NYC cops, the science fiction movie "Escape from New York" will be a reality. The good people will have fled to Red States and left NYC to become a super slum, which would dangerous/lethal to anyone in it.

[stanne]

Connect the dots. This is not dinkins. This isn’t even a feud

The mayor has not said a word to the world who is watching about the defiance of the ‘protesters

Rudy says the cops should not have turned their backs out of respect respect for the office. This is not normal. It’s similar to the repeated and constant betrayal we get from Bo

Guliani?

"But it was telling that de Blasio could not restrain himself during a press conference he called on Monday to try to set things right with the NYPD — reserving his greatest passion for an unplanned defense of anti-cop demonstrators against the media."

"So, yes, he has three years to fix things. Problem is, he’s Bill de Blasio."

"And Bill de Blasio gives every indication that, left to his natural instincts, he’ll just make things worse."

(The presumption is that de Blasio can't screw thing up all that quickly. However, the fall in NYC's homicide rate more-or-less plateaued in the years following the Giuliani administration. Bloomberg didn't do much to improve it, but he didn't do much to make it worse, either. I don't think that is the case with de Blasio.)

[C. Edmund Wright]

Yeah, this whole obsession so many liberals, so many GOP estab types, so many members of the Jurassic media have with the soap opera, the players, etc - is just almost Orwellian other planetary.....as if it’s just a big “reality” show, with no consequences to the vast majority of the people in the country even when they totally fk up.

Its just INFURIATING.....and it’s so damned pervasive.

The very least important take away from this incident is NY is DeBlasio’s reelection chances. That’s just a sidebar, not a focus.

[grania]

Ohmygosh. If MSNBC and Comcast are funding Al Sharpton, they're paying to create the chaos they sensationalize on the air.

Are any of the thinkers in DC aware of how dangerous media has become?
