It’s certainly not that public figures flout traffic laws or that they do so openly and with little concern for the “Let them eat cake” message that incresingly sends to a public, growing less tolerant of it. After all, had this ONLY been about the new Mayor’s convoy blowing traffic laws like they were just kind suggestions, it wouldn’t be news at all.
Indeed..We must add a big cup of hypocrisy to make a true Sundae with a Cherry on top!
Sub-Title: Embarrassment Comes Just Days After Mayor Announced New Traffic Safety Initiative
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Just days after Mayor Bill de Blasio announced an aggressive plan to prevent traffic deaths, CBS 2 cameras caught the driver of a car carrying the mayor violating a number of traffic laws.
But the NYPD responded Thursday evening that the mayor’s caravan, which is operated by police, sometimes has to use special driving techniques for protective reasons.
But of course…. ‘We must endanger you folks in the public as a necessary evil of insuring this one man is kept safe, above and beyond yourselves.’ We understand…They’re more important. Yes.. We do get it.
When the mayor announced his 62-point safe streets initiative, which includes lowering the speed limit to 25 mph, he said, “We want the public to know that we are holding ourselves to this standard.”
But Kramer reported the mayor failed to practice what he preached Thursday.
CBS 2 crews found Mayor de Blasio’s cars going through a stop sign at a Queens intersection, and that wasn’t the only traffic violation caught on tape.
Some days, commentary isn’t even needed. No explanation for the obvious. It is, after all, obvious. I didn’t make up what the man said about holding himself to the same standard…hours before doing just the opposite. That’s the kind of statement they need to make, in their own words, to be taken seriously for what it is.
Yikes!
