He has no intention of resigning. This Mayor thinks his presence in office trumps the officer’s concerns. I think de Blasio is looking for a way to FIRE EVERYBODY WHO DISAGREES with his stand on the issues. I suspect right now, he has somebody interviewing ‘replacement officers’. To do this, he is not beyond calling for assistance from the National Guard.
I think deBlasio has been provoking these incidents of very public
insubordination to support his upcoming ultimatum that the officers need to shut up and submit to the wishes of their Mayor. That’s the way many progressives think, as a manner of entitlement.
I don’t think you understood me. I was saying that I wish Republicans had the guts to stick to their guns under adversity, which few of them actually do.
