Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday about Mayor Bill de Blasio and the NYPD. The governor says the looting and property damage done in the city last night was inexcusable. It was a disgrace, Cuomo said. He used just four words to sum up his evaluation of Mayor de Blasios handling of the protests that have roiled the city and caused untold millions of property damage and looting. Then he used seven more. What happened in New York City was inexcusable, the governor said. I believe the mayor underestimated the scope of the problem. I think he underestimated the duration of the problem, Cuomo said. The mayors spokesperson called Cuomos comments offensive to the men and women of the NYPD, who are out there every night trying to keep New Yorkers safe. The mayors solution to fixing the problem is to enact a new curfew 8 p.m-5 a.m. through next Sunday and put police on 12 hour shifts and deploy more of them. But he refused Cuomos offer of some 13,000 National Guard troops, some of which are already deployed in the city at Penn Station and Grand Central. A frustrated Gov. Cuomo said he would not overrule the mayor because that would add to the chaos. But he said the NYPD needed to increase the number of cops on the street. Meanwhile, police union president Patrick Lynch was furious at Cuomos comments, and said its a disgrace that the city and state cant find a way to work together. The politics between the two houses has to stop because its putting our guys in danger. Give us direction. Allow us to do the job. Well do it, Lynch said. --- Edmonton Oilers winning a draft is like giving a homeless person money but knowing they are going to spend it on drugs and alcohol- Xunolix ... Copied to Clipboard! |
