DNAinfo writes that sources have said that Mayor Bill deBlasio would dump his police commissioner Bill Bratton in a showdown with Al Sharpton. The DANinfo story begins that Police Commissioner Bill Bratton had better watch his back when the mayor is deciding what to do, and who to trust in the aftermath of the Staten Island 'Chokehold controversy.' DNAinfo says that Mayor deBlasio would throw Bratton under the bus to keep peace with Sharpton. The story continues that Bratton was not the choice of the minority community, who wanted a person of color, not a clone of Ray Kelly.
The mayor's office declined to comment for the DNAinfo story, but in a New York Observer Story Mayor deBlasio defended his relationship with his police commissioner Bill Bratton as he called the DNAinfo story 'Idiotic' to say that he would side with Al Sharpton over his police commissioner. DeBlasio is quoted as saying that he is "sick of" stories that are trying to make an issue of his relationship with Sharpton and his police commissioner from unnamed sources. The Observer story ends with the mayor talking about the arrest procedure and what every citizen should do when being placed under arrest, and not fight the arrest as there is a due process system afterwards.
