NYT:
Mayor Bill de Blasio called for protesters to suspend demonstrations in the aftermath of the killing of two New York City police officers, who were gunned down on Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn as they sat in their patrol car.
“Put aside protests,” Mr. de Blasio said during a speech Monday afternoon. “That can be for another day."
The mayor’s call came a few hours after the police commissioner, William J. Bratton, said that the killing of the officers was a “direct spinoff of this issue” of the protests that have roiled the nation in recent weeks.
