Mayor Michael Bloomberg blasted the two City Council bills that he said would undermine public safety, including one measure that would prevent the NYPD from using information such as race, gender and age in its description of subjects.

He mocked the legislation in his weekly radio address Sunday as something that would have a direct impact on public safety: "So think about this: If an officer is told by a witness that a twenty-something white man wearing a blue windbreaker was seen shooting a gun, the officer can only use the color of the windbreaker as a lead," he said. "And the officer would have to stop 80-year old black women if they are wearing blue windbreakers. Even more absurd: if they stop someone who perfectly fits the description provided -- a twenty-something white man wearing a blue windbreaker -- and that person turns out not to be the shooter, that person can sue the NYPD. "

If the legislation, intended to stop racial profiling, passes, police offers would face the constant threat of going to trial for doing their jobs, he said.

Among Staten Island's council members, only the North Shore's Debi Rose supports it. Mid-Island Councilman James Oddo and South Shore Councilman Vincent Ignizio have decried the measure and strongly oppose it.

The mayor also again asserted his strong opposition to the push for an NYPD inspector general -- an independent monitor. His opposition to that one is already well-known. Bloomberg says it would add another layer of bureaucracy to a system that already has enough checks and balances, including the police commissioner, mayor, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, and five district attorneys.

If this bill passes, all officers will be under threat of going to trial for doing their jobs - and that would make all of us less safe.

The mayor touted the city's dropping crime rate and gave his unqualified endorsement of Police Commissioner Ray Kelly: "Under Commissioner Kelly's leadership, the NYPD has redefined modern policing - they've not simply responded to crimes, they've prevented crimes from happening in the first place," he said. So far in 2013, murders are down 34 percent and shootings are down 22 percent.

The most prominent target of the Bloomberg's jabs is City Council Speaker and mayoral candidate Christine Quinn, who supports the legislation. She has cooperated with Bloomberg throughout her tenure, but is under pressure to distinguish herself from him, especially as the mayor's popularity has dropped during his 12th and final year in office.

Ms. Quinn defended her press for an inspector general earlier this week: "I believe that we can - that we must - have both safe streets and stronger police-community relations," Ms. Quinn said. "An IG will provide feedback and recommendations to our commissioner and mayor on how to balance these two goals and ensure one doesn't impede on the other."
