Cop Union Calming

Police Unions 'Standing Down' After Controversial Comments In Wake Of NYPD Shooting:

..."Much like we shouldn't be blaming a president for the deaths of soldiers on the battlefield, let's not point fingers at the mayor for a madman's actions. It's ridiculous to believe that if only de Blasio had been more like Rudy Giuliani, Officers Liu and Ramos would be alive," said NY1 Political Director Bob Hardt in a column. "It's the same sloppy and dangerous logic in which people tried to blame American foreign policy for the 9/11 attacks, saying the chickens have come home to roost. There are plenty of chickens that fly around on their own."

De Blasio also isn't the first mayor to get into an argument with the PBA; the union has gone after at least the last four New York City mayors..

If we have to fear police unions...
