#AskTheMayor: Justice for George Floyd

The Brian Lehrer Show | May 29, 2020

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in NYC.

How can he justify not firing Pantaleo and NYPD's acts of violence on Union Square yesterday when he said what happened in Minnesota was unacceptable? I believe a huge part of our dissatisfaction is that he seems to be all talk, no or contradictory action.

What's the @NYCMayor doing to ensure "open streets" are actually open & safe for pedestrians & bike riders? I live on one of these streets in BK & the barricade has been moved to the far side of the street & drivers completely disregard @BrianLehrer, driving thru at normal speeds
