Huh. The police hate the mayor because he follows the rule of law and wants to protect his family:
The blue rage isn’t rooted in any one statement de Blasio has made against cops – in fact, he has been universally supportive of the rank-and-file in his public utterances. But in his past roles as a public official, he’s often sided with the victims of police brutality, and recently told an interviewer that he has told Dante, his teenaged mixed-race son, not to reach for a cellphone around officers because it might put him in danger as a “a young man of color.”
Siding with victims of police brutality is reason for "blue rage" in the police department? That tells you something. I would have thought the good cop majority would also side with victims of police brutality. After all, police brutality is illegal. And they are cops.
And he loves his son and wants him to be safe and do nothing that might provoke a police officer to mistake him for a criminal. What a terrible person.
Sigh. It's annual holiday fundraiser time. Your support is appreciated.
