Mr. de Blasio, speaking with reporters at an unrelated press conference in Queens, claimed the deadly attacks on a satirical French newspaper and subsequent hostage sieges would unite New Yorkers and help them to “move forward” from the policing-relating controversies of the past month. “It’s obvious that the events in Paris of the last few days are a clarion call to all of us to unify and move forward because we have to protect the people in this city and the values of this city and this country,” Mr. de Blasio said. “And I think our men and women in the NYPD are absolutely motivated to do good and believe in protecting those values and you’re going to see a constant improvement in the dynamic if we all work at communication and understanding,” he said. “I certainly will.” Mr. de Blasio said he had been “regular contact” with the police union leaders he has regularly fought with for months. “We’re going to keep talking to the union leaders, we’re going to keep talking to everyday cops, we’re going to keep working for understanding.”
