Bill de Blasio

We cannot reduce our commitment to public safety.

I am deeply concerned about the proposed fiscal year 2017 budget cuts to UASI.

We need Congress to do its part to protect New York City and the United States from terror and other major security threats.

A special thanks to Congressman King and Congresswoman Rice, who have been regular partners in the work we do protecting New York City.

I want to also offer my thanks to Chairman McCaul, who has been doing so much to protect the security of all Americans.

I want to also congratulate you on behalf of 8.5 million New Yorkers.

My fear is we fall behind, Congressman.

Well, that is exactly right, Mr. Chairman.

Obviously, missed the worst of this storm which is a blessing for New York City. And we have an old saying that we live by around here, 'Prepare for the worst and the hope for the best.'

This will most likely be one of the largest blizzards in the history of New York City.

The mayor, Bill de Blasio asking once again today for New Yorkers to put the memories and the families and the extended NYPD family of two murdered first for now to let passion cool and tempers mend a bit on all sides.

I'm asking everyone -- and this is across the spectrum -- to put aside protests, put aside demonstrations. Until these funerals are passed, let's focus just on these families and what they've lost.

I believe that actually the long-term security needs of this city require moving away from the overuse of stop and frisk.

We've had to literally train them as families have all over this city for decades in how to take special care in any encounter he has with the police officers who are there to protect him.

I heard from NYPD officer and leaders who said they saw peaceful protests, respectful protests. What you managed to do is pull up the few who do not represent the majority, who are saying unacceptable things, who shouldn't be saying those…

Mayor de Blasio had a press conference today saying precisely that he was going to have the entire police force of New York City, which when you are talking about 40,000 cops retrained for exactly the kind of things that Sunny was talking…

It's a very emotional day for our city. It's a very painful day for so many New Yorkers. That is the core reality. So many people in the city are feeling pain right now. And we're grieving again over the loss of Eric Garner who was a…
