Former Mayor Bill de Blasio was a troubled and ungrateful leader of the Big Apple, who would often go on “power trips” — putting his disdain for police officers on full display, one of the cops on the mayor’s detail says. Former NYPD officer Katrina Brownlee dedicated nearly a fifth of her newly released memoir — “And Then Came the Blues” — to her years on the former mayor’s security detail, describing her complicated relationship with de Blasio as an ego-centric but insecure public persona and as a “genuinely caring person” in private. “One thing that was always difficult for me to reconcile was de Blasio the man versus de Blasio the mayor,” Brownlee writes.
