    De Blasio calls emergency summit with cop unions




    With his relationship with the NYPD close to rock bottom, Mayor de Blasio has scheduled a face-to-face meeting with the heads of five police unions on Tuesday.

    [....]

    Among the union leaders scheduled to attend are Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association president Pat Lynch and Sergeant’s Benevolent Association president Ed Mullins — who have been the most ardent critics of the mayor’s dealings with police.

    The heads of the unions for detectives, captains and lieutenants are also scheduled to meet with Hizzoner.

    “I think it’s good that the mayor has finally reached out to those who represent the members of the NYPD, but I’m disappointed in the issuance of a press release announcing the meeting, which now raises concerns of sincerity. Is this about politics or is it about working through problems?” Mullins said.

    “This is no longer about the mayor, but this is about the people of the city of New York and the people in this nation who are watching. There’s a conflict of policies and an atmosphere of distrust between city hall and the police who serve this city.”
    Hopefully, after de Blasio was openly booed at NYPD academy graduation today, he has finally decided to heed Giuliani's wise advice to swallow his pride and apologize to the NYPD for what he said. I hope so, because until de Blasio does some groveling, he's utterly toothless in that town. If he's smart, he'll come out in a very public press conference and do some serious ass-kissing. That's the only thing that's going to begin the healing.


    And not just in New York.

      I'm guessing that this is a big part of the reason the de Blasio has called this summit.

                  Does parking illegally or exceeding the speed limit make you a criminal?

                          I can just imagine how the conservatives will be incensed by the union thugs engaging in a work slowdown while on the public teat.
                          Enjoy.

                              Probably will be incensed when their taxes go up to compensate for the lost "revenue".

                                  I'm pleading not guilty by reason of mental defect.

                                  I leave it up to the audience to decide what that mental defect entails.

                                      Ha!

                                      True, I guess they could announce astonishing declines in various criminal activities, based on the number of arrests, etc.

                                      Then, logically, they could start trimming thousands of unnecessary cops from the department.

                                      The City Council is starting to go in all directions at once. It's sounding like a police booster club even as it continues considering new restrictions on the cops.

                                          I think they're going back to defensive, reactive policing, pre-Giuiliani style.

                                              In order to qualify as a slow-down, there has to be an earlier period of greater activity. Did your Mom tell you there is no such thing as a stupid question?

                                                  So you're now saying that there is no work slow-down?

                                                          So you're saying that there was no work slow-down in the '70s?
                                                          It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
                                                          In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
                                                          Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
                                                          Pray for me, momma, I'm a gypsy now
