(11,065 posts)What does that tell you? Their grievance with the mayor has nothing to do with racism, and it's ridiculous to believe that it is. There are proportionately just as many black officers as white that are upset with him for the same reasons, and if you think that police officers of any race believe that black people are being shot by police for no reason all the time, guess again. Anyone with an ounce of sense would have long since noticed all those photos and videos of officers with their backs turned to de Blasio were a multi-racial crowd.
The grievance with the mayor of every race of the NYPD is about what they consider to be lack of POLICE support - not white police support - and you can agree or disagree with whether or they have a legitimate grievance, but to make up some absurd connection to racism is just plain asinine.
This whining about the NYPD and their grievance with the mayor is just partisan and cop hate nonsense.
