There was also an incident of a plane flying along the Hudson River on Friday, flying a banner: “De Blasio, our backs have turned to you.” Former cop John Cardillo issued a statement that a “large and unified group of current and retired NYC police officers, detectives and supervisors” asked him to issue a post on the plane after it appeared on Friday.
