Mayor de Blasio has not spoken to Rev. Al Sharpton since Saturday

Mayor de Blasio has not spoken to the Rev. Al Sharpton since Saturday, when two NYPD cops were shot in the head, execution-style, in Brooklyn.

In contrast, Gov. Cuomo on Monday morning spoke with Sharpton to discuss ways to cool tensions in the city, our Ken Lovett reported.

De Blasio “texted me and said we would talk, but we have not talked,” Sharpton told The News. When asked if de Blasio was purposefully distancing himself from Sharpton because of pressure from police unions, he said, “You can draw whatever conclusions you want.”

He added that “there are some wondering if it’s a question of him being intimidated by [Patrolmen's Benevolent Association chief Pat Lynch] and them that he doesn’t want to look like he’s talking to any protesters. I don’t think it’s just me.”
