The Fire This Time

David Remnick on the NYPD vs. Mayor de Blasio:

The police commissioner, William Bratton, was diplomatic, calling the gesture “inappropriate.” It was worse than that. It was an act of profound disrespect not only to de Blasio but also to the Ramos family members, who were there to grieve, not to witness a petulant display of resentment.

Soundtrack: Be Free by J. Cole or perhaps Come Out by Steven Reich.
