Trump slams De Blasio over NYPD water attack
(ZEROHEDGE) – President Trump rarely misses an opportunity to bash New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, and this latest incident is no exception. Earlier this week, video surfaced on social media showing NYPD officers in Brooklyn and Harlem being harassed – doused with water and pelted with projectiles. The video prompted an outraged response from leaders within the department and the patrolmen’s union, who blamed Mayor de Blasio’s ‘soft on crime’ policies for emboldening the criminal element.
And on Thursday afternoon, President Trump tweeted saying that what had happened with the NYPD officers was a “total disgrace” and that it was time for de Blasio to “STAND UP” for the NYPD and “those who protect our lives and serve us so all so well…”
Trump added that what happened was “completely unacceptable” and that it would not be tolerated.
He finished by demanding that de Blasio “act immediately” and stand up for the NYPD.
