City mayor Bill de Blasio, said that, "Do I blame Donald Trump for using hate speech during his campaign? Absolutely. He did. It's a fact. He said horrible things about Muslims, horrible things about Mexican Americans."

"I became a police officer to show the positive side of a New Yorker, a Muslim woman, that can do the job," Police officer Aml Elsokary said.
