Why New Yorkers Love The NYPD More Than The Mayor New York Post By Post Editorial Board May 13, 2015 \| 8:03pm Excerpt: New Yorkers got yet another reminder Wednesday of how police officers keep them safe — at repeated risks to their own lives: Two cops apprehended the hammer-wielding maniac who’d randomly attacked four people in Midtown over 48 hours. Spotting a man who fit the suspect’s description, Officers Lauren O’Rourke and Geraldo Casaigne started following him. Suddenly, he turned around and struck O’Rourke twice, once in the back of her neck, with the infamous hammer. Casaigne fired four shots, bringing down the suspect — possibly saving his partner’s life. This, in a week when the NYPD is scrambling to address a crime spike in Central Park and an even more troubling rise in shootings across the city — and Mayor de Blasio is off on a nationwide tour to bask in the admiration of his fellow progressives. Which is why New Yorkers support the cops a lot more than they do the mayor. In this week’s Quinnipiac poll, his approval sank to 44 percent; the NYPD’s stands at 56 percent. And backing for the police grows when people look at what’s actually happening on the streets. Do you approve of how cops in your neighborhood are doing their job? By 69 percent to 26 percent, the public says yes. The approval stretches across racial, political and age lines. snip Full Editorial
