New York City mayor Bill de Blasio, having stood so closely to the anti-police protests that the city’s police forces no longer trust him, now is calling for all protests to be suspended until after the slain officers’ funerals.
Now that the mayor has played with fire and gotten burned, he’s making a request that almost certainly won’t be honored — after all, the protest movement rejects the police’s lawful authority, so they’re not just going to salute and obey the mayor — and that is, for obvious reasons, completely unenforceable.
Please, please, please, Democrats. Do as Bill de Blasio wishes and hold your 2016 National Convention in Brooklyn. Perhaps no politician better symbolizes the consequences of the Left’s shortsighted, shamelessly opportunistic thinking than the mayor.
The new face of Democrats.
For obvious reasons, Philadelphia and Columbus, Ohio, are looking like much better options today.
