No one--least of all the 72 percent of the popular vote who voted him in--should be the least bit surprised that the first two police officers have been slain, “execution style” on New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s watch.
Socialists/Marxists, fomenting for racial unrest in North American cities for decades, merely filled the gap in New York City as they have elsewhere with a mayor who could be counted upon to do their bidding at the right time.
Progressives completed their long march through public institutions, enabled by the reality that as their march was a covert one, there would be nobody to stop them. They started in academe which they now own, marched through churches before taking steady aim at the Blue Line, knowing full well that without the Blue Line there can only be anarchy.
The seeds of dissent planted along the path to anarchy is called “Racial Profiling”. Google “Racial Profiling” to see for yourself how hatred of the Blue Line originally came to North America, and indeed elsewhere.
It is racial profiling whose so called statistics are incessantly reported by a propaganda press that manage to convince whole communities that police deliberately pull young blacks off the roads for traffic infractions because of their skin colour.
Racial profiling was given a green light by de Blasio himself when he volunteered this information to the media when he told an interviewer that he has told Dante, his teenaged mixed-race son, not to reach for a cellphone around officers because it might put him in danger as “a young man of color”, a comment right in line with Al Sharpton who said “If Dante wasn’t your son, he’d be a candidate for a chokehold. And we got to deal with that reality.” (

Problem is that while politicians spew rhetoric of the “if I had a son” variety, cops must deal with a kind of reality out on the streets that puts their very lives at risk.
Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, tragically had no opportunity to duck for cover when they were shot in a parked patrol car in Brooklyn.
With mainstream media help, de Blasio since has been ducking for cover wherever he can find it.
While average citizens are routinely harassed by spies from their own government, including ones with the NSA, FBI and CIA, de Blasio -- poor wretch -- complains about being spied on by police during his 2013 election campaign.
“According to a former de Blasio aide, during the general election campaign in 2013, de Blasio’s team was even convinced that members of his police detail were eavesdropping on his private conversations in his city-assigned car. Things got so bad that de Blasio, according to the staffer, would step into the street to make sure he was out of earshot of plainclothes officers.” (
Politico, Dec. 22, 2014)
If only millions among the masses being spied on by their own government enjoyed the same convenience.
Much more crucial than de Blasio being spied on is that NYPD killer Ismaayl Brinsley was using a traffic app called Waze to track law enforcement’s movement during the month of December. (
Breitbart, Dec. 22, 2014).
De Blasio’s mayorship is one with full mainstream media running dog support: “De Blasio was clearly pained and jarred by the police executions Saturday, but he left the indignation to Bratton. The angriest moment de Blasio has mustered since the weekend was on Monday, and it was directed at the press. (Politico)
“What are you guys going to do?” he asked, his voice rising, as he accused reporters of amplifying the few bad actors among the protestors. “Are you going to keep dividing us?”
Rather than “pained” and “jarred”, de Blasio should have been what all decent folk are in the aftermath of the murders of Officers Liu and Ramos: outraged.
There’s a shining truth that comes from the angriest moment de Blasio “mustered since the weekend”, the truth being seen in everything now coming full circle to be found in his words: “Are you going to keep dividing us?”
It is the politicians like him, and Obama doing the “dividing us” with the help of a complicit mainstream media painting the ongoing racial divide claiming cop lives as coming from only “a few bad actors” among the protesters.
The public, whose memory is short, should not let de Blasio squirm away from what happened in Brooklyn on Saturday.
