Comrade Bill de Blasio fined $155K for using NYPD as his personal security outside NYC

Former failed presidential candidate and Mayor of New York City, comrade Bill de Blasio [aka Warren Wilhelm, Jr.] was gob-smacked with the largest fine ever imposed for using New York Police Department officers as his person body guards during his 30 seconds as a presidential candidate. So far, de Blasio's biggest accomplishments were making city crime a full-contact sport, and for being tall.

The fine amounted to $155,000 and he was also ordered to reimburse the city $320,000 for violating the City Charter when he took his NYPD security detail on trips "all over the place," as one former President likes to say.

"When a public servant uses City resources for private purposes, it erodes the public's trust and makes City government less efficient," the board ruled, as they pretended the public trust was eroded only after this clod misused city funds. Let us not forget that his own wife sort of lost hundreds of thousands of dollars on a city project that never took place.

The big commie was even told by the board when he announced his narcissistic run for POTUS  that "[I]t would be a misuse of City resources" to pay the hotel, travel and overtime costs for his NYPD security detail to travel with him on the campaign outside their jurisdiction. But as he had shown in the past when Covid was being released on New Yorkers by then-Governor Andrew Cuomo (D), the rules didn't apply to him. Recall that de Blasio and his wife disregarded his advice to stay at home and went galavanting to a gym in Brooklyn.

So he gave the board's ruling his trademark symbolic middle finger and took his detail on 31 out-of-state trips between May 2019 and September 2019, when he got the support of his wife and a few members of the Communist Party and ended up dropping out of the race. For him, the race's starting gun never even went off.

The fine followed a report by the Department of Investigation that criticized the former mayor's use of his security detail even when he was in New York City. The report said de Blasio used his protection detail as hired help for errands, picking up coffee and food, and carting his family and friends around like Uber drivers because he thinks he's an entitled person.

"It's not security. It's essentially concierge service," former Department of Investigation Commissioner Margaret Garnet said in October 2021.

De Blasio was outraged by the ruling and his lawyers are fighting the board's ruling.

But if he ends up having to pay the money, he can always look for it wherever his wife may have hidden it from the public's view.
