cops over and over again, he abused the homeless and was one of the most arrogant fools to ever hold that position.

I'm not at all surprised to learn that he used the cops as his very own army.

Bloomberg actually CALLED them his army.

The last good progressive of NYC was Mayor Dinkins and the cops hated him too. They rioted airc, and I may be wrong, but I believe it was Giuliani who encouraged them. The bigotry that was aimed at Mayor Dinkins was despicable.

I am sure they hate de Blasio so he will have to watch his back. These cops are ANGRY and will do everything they can to thwart any effort he makes to straighten out that crooked police dept.

I don't envy him frankly, but the least people can, and that includes his party, is to support him strongly, to shout down these criminals, and many of them are, and finally teach them to watch how THEY behave because at last, they are in the spotlight and not in a way they want to be.

Too many TV shows glorifying these thugs. They badly need to be reigned in, and put in their place.
