De Blasio: Put political protests on pause while families mourn NYPD deaths
VIDEO: ‘Let's see them through the funerals. Then, debate can begin again.’
Mayor Bill de Blasio asked that political protests be put on hold and that New Yorkers console NYPD officers, at an address on Monday at the Police Athletic League December luncheon.
His comments came as the city tries to come to grips with the murder of two 84th Precinct police officers on duty in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn on Saturday.
“There’s a lot of pain and it’s so hard to make sense of it,” de Blasio said.
