Tuerie à New York: des syndicats blâment Bill de Blasio

Des propos très durs à l'endroit du maire de New York. Lors de son entrée dans un hôpital où il devait faire le point sur la situation, plusieurs policiers ont tourné le dos à de Blasio. Déjà que la situation est tendue...

"Patrick Lynch, the president of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, said that de Blasio was partially to blame for the shooting. "There’s blood on many hands tonight. Those that incited violence on the streets under the guise of protest that tried to tear down what NYPD officers did every day. We tried to warn it must not go on, it cannot be tolerated," Lynch said, according to CBS New York. "That blood on the hands starts at City Hall in the office of the mayor."

L'équipe du maire a ensuite diffusé ce message: "It’s unfortunate that in a time of great tragedy, some would resort to irresponsible, overheated rhetoric that angers and divides people," spokesman Phil Walzak said. "Mayor de Blasio understands this is the time when we must come together to support the families and friends of those brave officers New York City lost tonight — and the entire NYPD community."
