Yes I know it's Murdoch's NY Post but I haven't seen anything similar anywhere else -

“For decades and decades we’ve had the tradition in this city of respecting and properly managing peaceful protests and the right of people to express themselves.”
“And I give the NYPD a lot of credit.”

Our good mayor must have been on another planet during the Occupy protests.
He's still working overtime to atone for the Eric Garner death-due-to-choke-hold press conference faux pas last week, widely criticized for his including Al Sharpton on an apparent same level as P.C. Bill Bratton.

after the 1992 riots.

He arrived there ten years after the riots, though. Why even mention them in his wiki?
