De Blasio, Bratton tout lower crime rates, safer NYC

NEW YORK (WABC) -- New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio touted new crime statistics Monday, one day after members of the NYPD once again turned their backs on him.

The mayor spoke with police commissioner William Bratton, hailing big drops in the murder and robbery rates.

At the funeral of officer Wen Jian Liu Sunday, some officers turned their backs when de Blasio spoke, claiming the mayor doesn't have their back amid growing anti-police sentiment, despite a memo from Bratton asking the officers refrain from acts of protest.
