Bill Bratton To Lead NYPD Again, According To Bill De Blasio’s Campaign Officials
New commissioner on the way! According to two of mayor-elect Bill de Blasio’s campaign officials, Bill Bratton is being named to lead the NYPD. Bratton, who had the position between 1994-1996, along with de Blasio is looking to drop crime rates and build a counter-terrorism program for the Big Apple. Prior to Bratton taking the chair in the 90s, murder numbers were 1,946 citywide.

(Video) Russell Simmons Chooses His Endorsement For NYC Mayor
Russell Simmons has officially endorsed Bill de Blasio for mayor, choosing him over openly gay candidate Christine Quinn, and African-American candidate William Thompson. “I love the idea of a gay woman as mayor, but she’s been bought and managed by special interests,” he said of the former. Of the ladder: “I don’t want a candidate who is too quiet. I want a candidate who is not afraid to offend a few people to support what he thinks is right.” Simmons said de Blasio’s call to reform the NYPD’s controversial stop-and-frisk tactic was what really hooked him. “I know a lot of people who have been stopped and frisked,” said Simmons. “If they get an arrest record, it can ruin their lives.”
