This R&D covers New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s strained relationship with the New York City Police Department (NYPD). Officers in the NYPD are reportedly upset with de Blasio for a lack of support after a grand jury refused to indict officers in the death of Eric Garner and some blame him for the deaths of two officers, who were killed by an anti-cop assailant last Saturday.
