A
new Quinnipiac poll shows that the overwhelming majority of New Yorkers strongly disapprove of recent protest tactics and comments coming from the NYPD.
New York City voters, black, white and Hispanic, disapprove 69 - 27 percent of police officers turning their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio at funerals for two police officers, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
Police union leader Patrick Lynch's comments that the mayor's office had blood on its hands are "too extreme," voters say 77 - 17 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe- ack) University Poll finds. There is no party, gender, racial, borough or age group which finds the comments "appropriate."
As
reports come out saying that NYPD officers "nearly came to blows" during a meeting where they debated why exactly they are even angry with Mayor de Blasio in the first place, this new poll only further shows that the officers, and their spokesperson, Pat Lynch, are going in the wrong direction.
See the full results of the poll below.
