NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio pleaded for community help to curb the destruction that has begun to spiral out of control in recent days as his adversary Gov. Andrew Cuomo chastised the NYPD's response and openly speculated about removing the mayor from office
NEW YORK — A visibly shaken Mayor Bill de Blasio pleaded with community and religious leaders to help curb the destruction that has begun to spiral out of control in recent days as his longtime adversary Gov. Andrew Cuomo chastised the NYPD's response and openly speculated about removing the mayor from office.
De Blasio — at a tense news conference during which he snapped at reporters and called on local leaders to take a more active role in the protests — forcefully denounced the idea of allowing organized troops onto city streets, arguing their presence would only ratchet up tensions and heighten the chaos he is trying to tamp down.
Shea also defended de Blasio's handling of the situation and said more political leaders should show similar support for the NYPD. It was unclear whether the administration had laid any of the groundwork to coordinate gatherings before de Blasio’s plea. The mayor’s office has a community affairs unit dedicated to forging and maintaining relationships with residents and organizations across the five boroughs.
