Judge Alice Schlesinger in Manhattan had ordered the CCRB to release records regarding Pantaleo, a decision the city appealed. The administration has asked an appellate court to overturn Schlesinger’s ruling.
Mayor de Blasio said Friday that pedestrians crossing the street while tethered to headphones is an annoying problem that he’s personally experienced from behind the wheel, but rogue drivers are the ones to blame for most traffic-related tragedies.
De Blasio and Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina are scheduled to visit schools in all five boroughs on Thursday.
“Don’t scapegoat – I don’t believe it’s really about the state law”.
“On the question of the mayoral advisers – guidance was given to me very early on by my Counsel’s office that when some individuals are very, very close advisers that it is appropriate to have a private relationship with them”, the mayor added. “The law hasn’t changed”, Cuomo told the Daily News.
“If the mayor wanted to, he would release the records”, Cuomo said at the beginning of the Labor Day parade in Midtown on Saturday.
Section 50-a states, “All personnel records. used to evaluate performance toward continued employment or promotion. shall be considered confidential”. A bystander’s cellphone video of the encounter – showing Garner gasping, “I can’t breathe!”. They be pimpin Black lives for votes too…

A state prosecutor did not charge Pantaleo with a crime, and the federal government is considering whether Pantaleo violated federal criminal law. “So is De Blasio!” Garner may be rightfully upset because de Blasio cited an archaic law that has been ignored for the past 30 years as the reason he couldn’t release the records. Things that were previously accepted are suddenly forbidden just because this time around, it will implicate a white police officer.
