NY Daily News Columnist: NYC mayors have been dissed before by NYPD
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/mayors-no-strangers-nypd-wrath-article-1.2064990"New Yorkers were shocked and many were appalled when a petition circulated among NYC cops asking them to sign a pledge demanding that the mayor and police commissioner “be denied attendance of any memorial service in my honor as their attendance would only bring disgrace to my memory.”
No, it wasn’t addressed to Mayor de Blasio in 2014, it was addressed to Rudy Giuliani and his then-police commissioner, (Hollywood) Howard Safir in 1997.
As much of a national story the de Blasio vs. the NYPD story is, the truth is that our cops always end up hating our mayor."
