Like any good radical leftist, Bill de Blasio views the cops of the NYPD as pigs working for the man. It never occurs to him that the cops are collecting 1/5th of his salary and that he is the man.
How crazy is Bill de Blasio when it comes to the police? As crazy as a drug dealer high on his own product sitting in a cop bar.
The bad blood between the NYPD and de Blasio is nothing new — it dates back to an election campaign centered on de Blasio’s withering criticism of the Bloomberg administration’s stop-and-frisk policy, and his close alliance with the Rev. Al Sharpton, who has organized scores of protests targeting cops over their behavior toward urban blacks.
According to a former de Blasio aide, during the general election campaign in 2013 de Blasio’s team was even convinced that members of his police detail were eavesdropping on his private conversations in his city-assigned car. Things got so bad that de Blasio, according to the staffer, would step into the street to make sure he was out of earshot of plainclothes officers.
It’s deeply telling that De Blasio’s people are this crazy and paranoid. It’s what you expect of radical leftists who recite Cointelpro as their talking point. In their mind this really is some kind of revolution and they’ve been acting this way.
De Blasio was savvy enough to bring in Bratton, but not savvy enough to stop surrounding himself with Sharpton’s cronies and the sort of people who celebrate cop killers.
The NYPD isn’t throwing its weight around, as the media insists. It’s reacting to an administration that is nakedly hostile to it.
