Don't forget that Bill de Blasio's wife is African American

Their kids are interracial.

This probably doesn't sit too well with a number of folks in the NYPD, especially considering their treatment of blacks and Hispanics over the years. The NYPD specifically targets minorities with policies like stop and frisk.

This probably made it easier for them to turn their backs on an official who was overwhelmingly elected by the people.

The NYPD is a fascist organization and they don't care for elections or constitutional rights, especially when it comes to blacks.

There is no "interracial" when the blue and red lights flash on you at 10pm. There's white and not-white. Period.

I don't live in New York City, so I don't keep up on most of the news that comes out of there.
