Inappropriate Response

This is why we hate politicians:

On Monday, Bloomberg said the police response seemed "unacceptable" and "inexplicable," but he was steadfast in his support for Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, who has been denounced by some critics since the shooting.

Of the victims, Bloomberg said Monday: "There is no evidence that they were doing anything wrong," referring to what led up to the moment their car struck an undercover officer outside the nightclub.

The investigation is not yet complete and Bloomberg called the response "unacceptable" and "Inexplicable"? How would he know? It is imprudent to comment on investigations in progress. He does not yet know the facts and is already appeasing the victims and condemning the cops. This is the difference between law enforcement now and 20 years ago. In today's environment, the political hacks, be they Republican or Democrat will hang you in a second if it benefits them politically. Clearly, Bloomberg does not yet know the facts yet is offering opinion as to the appropriateness of the officers' conduct. Bloomberg should lose his job for interfering with a police investigation.

Bloomberg stated “There is no evidence that they were doing anything wrong"... Again, it is completely inappropriate for him to make this irresponsible statement prior to the investigation being complete. If I was the victim’s family, I would be insulted that Bloomberg is obviously making a political play over my relative’s death. He needs to keep his mouth shut until the facts are known. How can Bloomberg support the Police Commissioner and yet denounce the officer's involved. The Commissioner is responsible for his officer's actions and if guilty, bears some responsibility since he leads the organization.
