During the occupy stuff, they were among the most aggressive police departments around, and were praised for it. The NY Times and the Wall Street Crowd have been cheerleaders for aggressive policing.
I think the mayor has a tough job. The NY City Army expects the city to be run for their benefit, and that they should have no controls on them or criticism of them. The Mayor has to reign them in.

The problem is that if you were picking kids from the short bus to be captain of the kickball team, DiBlasio would be the very last one picked. Slightly more articulate than Wendy the Slow Adult and not nearly as reliable.
