Maybe the NYPD should look at themselves and why they would cause someone like the mayor to be wary of his son's interaction with their officers.

Again, this is a police department who basically made it okay to stop anyone at anytime just in case maybe they might be doing something illegal. Not suspects, not suspicious people, anyone.

So they're stopping millions of people, nearly 90% whom are completely innocent of any wrongdoing, and they're heavily targeting minorities (to the scale of approximately 80% of all stops being blacks/latinos). No wonder someone with a mixed raced son is a little worried, regardless of his position.

They should probably be looking at their own policies before they go after the mayor.
