It’s no secret to New Yorkers that Mayor de Blasio has a “strained” relationship with the NYPD and its Commissioner, William Bratton. Mayor de Blasio and Commissioner Bratton have publicly butted heads over a whole host of issues from Black Lives Matter, to the size of the police force, to the effectiveness of the City Council. Early last year the NYPD famously turned their backs on Mayor de Blasio as he delivered the eulogy for a fallen police officer.
