#2 But Mr. de Blasio, a Democrat, rejected the notion that officers disliked him.

Typical.

#3 The mayor being a quintessential pol doesn't understand the very basics of the hunting group (in business for a couple hundred thousand years), you cover each others back. He/she who demonstratively doesn't finds themselves on the outside never to be trusted again except in actual demonstration of 'heroics', in deeds not words, that garner respect of the group.

#4 Disliked him? That is an understatement. As PK2 said it is more a matter of life and death...and who has your back.

#6 I read the other day that the official response to slowdown on issuing non-criminal citations is a block on all police vacations until quotas have been met. Gotta keep the funds flowing, donchaknow.

#7 ..the problem with that approach is that 'vacation time' is probably written into union contracts while the income generation levels are not. The city management is going to lose that one somewhere on the appeal hierarchy in the judicial system (which by the way is enjoying the respite from overloaded dockets in the slow down).
