De Blasio says NYC must be ready to thwart terrorism after Hamas attacks, rips Harvard for supporting slaughterFormer Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aide Melissa DeRosa has claimed that then-Mayor Bill de Blasio deliberately failed to deploy enough cops the protests that erupted over the police killing of George Floyd
“The governor’s eyes widened in disbelief at what, to him, amounted to a staggering admission of malpractice. Shea had just confirmed what the governor had been told and feared; the city had deliberately minimized deployment,” DeRosa, the secretary – or chief of staff – to the governor, said.Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aide Melissa DeRosa has claimed that then-Mayor Bill de Blasio deliberately failed to deploy enough cops during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests.
DeRosa also said de Blasio was influenced by the “far left” whose mantra following Floyd’s killing was “defund the police.”De Blasio and a former police commissioner decided to double the police presence to 8,000 and eventually to impose a curfew to curtail the protests.“It was ill-advised and stupid, but that didn’t stop extreme-left elected officials from taking up the mantra.
“Cable news ran wall-to-wall coverage of the iconic Macy’s storefront in Herald Square and Rockefeller Center, both covered in smashed glass.”Something had to be done, DeRosa writes, as then-President Donald Trump threatening to send soldiers into cities that refused to stop the looting.
