“de Blasio...attempted to extend an oratorical olive branch”
The Mayor is just scrambling to save his political butt, but it may be too little, too late. At this point he can;
1. Continue the way he’s presently going, trying to say “yes” to both the NYPD and the marchers calling for more cop deaths,
2. Go full penance and ask the collective NYPD to forgive his inflammatory dialogue while completely repudiating the communist-inspired protestors (including making Al Sharpton permanently unwelcome at Gracie Mansion), or
3. Resign and let someone else try to make a new start with the police.
Whichever choice he makes, he’s probably a 1-term mayor , and don’t even talk about national aspirations...
To the voters of NYC I say, “You fouled your nest, now sit in it.” Only by sitting in it for Comrade Bill’s full term will they learn what a horrible thing electing a communist is. Then they might hold their noses and elect another Giuliani.
