Occupy has a Mayor!

[starroute]

1. Will he stop calling out the cops on them?

That's going to be the real test. Mayors, like presidents, quickly come up against entrenched interests, and the police force that Bloomberg described as his own private army is likely to be very quick to challenge de Blasio's authority.

Even before taking office on New Year’s Day, de Blasio’s first tasks will be choosing his deputy mayors and the heads of the city’s 34,000-officer police department; its 1.1 million-student school system; and the office that manages its $70 billion a year budget and $40 billion of general-obligation debt.

For police commissioner, de Blasio has said he’s considering former NYPD Commissioner William Bratton, who’s also run departments in Boston and Los Angeles, and NYPD Chief Philip Banks III, the department’s highest-ranking uniformed officer. He said he’s seeking someone with a plan to reduce stop-and-frisk tactics while suppressing crime and improving community relations.
