De Blasio downplays NYC safety woes amid spate of violence

See-no-evil Bill is back.

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Wednesday brushed off the concerns of everyday New Yorkers about shootings on city streets when asked by a reporter at his daily briefing why he wasn’t at the scenes of recent horrifying slayings. Instead, Hizzoner trotted out old excuses about his administration’s inability to get the Big Apple’s shooting surge in hand, as he was pressed about City Hall’s seemingly low-key response to a new spate of violence across the Big Apple.
