Bill de Blasio's tense relationship with the NYPD casting shadow over DNC bid

The New York Daily News reports:
The tensions that have erupted between Mayor de Blasio and the city’s police unions are casting a giant shadow over the mayor’s bid to bring the Democratic National Convention to Brooklyn.

Party officials are concerned the bad blood might still be an issue when the convention is held in 2016, stealing the spotlight from the party’s presidential nominee, a top Democrat told the Daily News.
Liberal New Yorkers would rather focus in on Mr. Cool, Dante De Blasio.
