For some mysterious reason, the police don't like the Sandinista Marxist ... it's getting so bad for the Commie that even the NY Times is starting to cut some distance.

Not long after Mayor Bill de Blasio sat beside the Rev. Al Sharpton at a July summit meeting on police reform, a political adviser gave the mayor a blunt assessment: You have a problem with the cops.
Rank-and-file officers felt disrespected by the mayor, the adviser explained, and were dismayed to see Mr. Sharpton, a longtime critic of the New York Police Department, embraced at City Hall.
But Mr. de Blasio, a Democrat, rejected the notion that officers disliked him. His message, the adviser later recalled, was clear: Everything was under control.
That confidence would last until late last month, when the murders of two officers in Brooklyn prompted the department to adopt a stance of rebellion. Uniformed officers protested against the mayor in public, and low-level arrests virtually stopped. Mr. de Blasio, a liberal who had staked his mayoralty on re-educating the police force, is struggling to secure its basic trust.
In recent days, Mr. de Blasio has sounded downcast, according to aides who have spoken with him. The manager of his mayoral campaign has returned to help. And his team is considering focus groups and a poll to refine the mayor’s message to New Yorkers who may have soured on him.

What’s his wife wearing on her head in that photo? A witches hat?
What pathetic morons. All of them.
Chris Rock tweeted a photo of de Blasio’s family and said, “Three reasons NYPD doesn’t like the mayor.” Racism! Never mind he’s a race baiting communist.
I hope the ‘slowdown’ continues and busts the city budget.
“...focus groups and a poll...”
Sheesh...
Now he’s resorting to threats unless the cops bow down to him, threatening to take their vacation days because they are giving out less tickets. Liberals like this puke won’t say crap when cops get attacked, but when a cop reduces revenue? Whoa! Then it’s a city wide emergency!
Is that woman actually wearing a witch hat? Who is that, his daughter? “Gee honey, that witch hat is highly appropriate for my inauguration”
I suspect the cops tend to be more conservative than the average nooyawker.
Cops don’t feel ‘disrespected’ - that’s black thing. What cops feel is that some idiot liberal elite is putting their lives at risk.
On another subject - how are the suck-ups at the New York Times excusing Obama and jerks for missing the Paris March?
The Big Apple has a rotten one from the bottom of the barrel in the Mayor’s office - elections have consequences.
Go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don’t mind the maggots.
Wait till that city gets another terrorist attack, then the stuff is really going to hit the fan when it comes to this idiot. He is doing EVERYTHING he can to ensure another terror attack happens. Selling loose cigarettes is like a felony to this guy - he sends cops out to bust people selling loose cigarettes and when something goes wrong he throws them under the bus, but when it comes to the NYPDs terror task force? Oh well that got to go because cracking down on loose cigarettes is more important than terror.
Until the commie humbles himself (probably never happen) and publicly apologizes for siding with the racists, he will not regain or even begin to get any trust or respect from the NYPD rank and file.
He has shown by his actions and words that racists and agitators (”community organizers”) are his brethren.
That's his druggie daughter wearing what she must think is high fashion. His wife is that crabbed-looking thing in the corner, in the green and white dress. His daughter is always wearing SOMETHING on her head, usually some sort of wreath.
It is either a witches hat or a dunce hat.
“Is that woman actually wearing a witch hat?”
She must think she’s royalty: http://www.smosh.com/smosh-pit/photos/absolute-most-ridiculous-royal-wedding-hats

Bill de Blasio (right) is sworn in as the mayor of New York City by State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (left) while his family, Chiara de Blasio (second from left) Dante de Blasio (center) and Chirlane McCray look on at the start of the new year Jan 1.
One era ended and a new one began one minute past midnight Wednesday as Michael Bloomberg turned over the reins of City Hall to New York City’s 109th mayor, Bill de Blasio.
Standing beside his wife, Chirlane McCray, and kids, Chiara and Dante, de Blasio took the oath of office in front of their Park Slope home
New Year’s eve party hat.
OK, what’s with the witches hat? And is Dante actually wearing baggy jeans to his father’s swearing in?
Will the NYPD union vote GOP? Not likely, but just six months ago, the answer was “inconceivable.”
