This was sent to me and think about it as soon as he became mayor the first thing he did was call one 800 NYPD fix it and look at my case what's the difference the phone calls were made and they got fixed again favors and the US attorney in the FBI or pretending that it's not citywide ? How many city council members, politicians, celebrities, wealthy people, friends and family including NYPD got fixing and favors. Internal affairs and the DA's are often directly involved these are actual cases like mine were talking crimes not just fixing favors for crimes ...

Mayor de Blasio rails against NYPD officers busted for being 'cops on call' for mayoral donors

Mayor de Blasio railed against the high-ranking NYPD officers busted for being “cops on call” for two deep-pocketed mayoral donors on Thursday.
But he made it clear that none of their shenanigans started under his watch, or under Police Commissioner Bill Bratton.
“These instances began before Commissioner Bratton and I were in office, and the U.S. Attorney said very affirmatively they had nothing to do with City Hall, they had nothing to do with me,” de Blasio said during a press conference in the West Village, where the NYPD outlined the city’s security plans for Sunday’s Gay Pride March.
On Monday, three high-ranking NYPD officers, along with Brooklyn businessman Jeremy Reichberg were hit with federal charges that they traded gifts for favors.
The arrests came as part of a wide-ranging probe by Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who is examining bribery within the NYPD ranks and fundraising by the mayor.
Bharara said Reichberg, a Brooklyn diamond merchant, had "cops on call" in exchange for hookers, hotel rooms, fancy meals and other gifts.
Both Reichberg and financier Jona Rechnitz — who has already pleaded guilty and is cooperating with investigators — contributed heavily to de Blasio's campaign or non-profit.
The criminal complaint says the two businessmen held massive sway over the NYPD and had a role in making sure their cops on call got promoted — something Bratton found especially troubling.
"That is very disturbing to me,” Bratton said. “It is a significant part of the investigation ... It is something we do not tolerate."
Promotions and transfers should be based on merit, “not someone calling in a favor,” Bratton said.
De Blasio said that the disgraced officers broke a vow to the city.
“I think anyone who takes an oath of office, whether they're an individual police officer or a chief or an elected official has an obligation to the people,” de Blasio said. “A small group of people violated that oath. They’re all bad apples and they're going to pay the price. Anyone who says, ‘Oh I didn't know I couldn't take a trip to Las Vegas’ is lying."
He spoke even more bluntly with Brian Lehrer on WNYC, calling the pay-to-play allegations “disgusting.”
“It obviously was illegal, it was wrong, and they got caught," de Blasio said on the radio show Thursday morning — his first public comments about the arrest. "I'm shocked that they were senior police officials, because they obviously were not following the law in a very egregious way.”
"They're all going to suffer very real consequences," the mayor said.
De Blasio said Reichberg and Rechnitz were “immoral people engaging in illegal acts," but he said there were no red flags when the donors were vetted by his campaign in 2013.
He stressed that Bharara has said there are no allegations against the mayor's office, including in the latest charges.
"I know nothing like that, that happened on the City Hall side," he said. "It's night and day."
