Bill de Blasio has not earned the label âprogressive,â said Robert Gangi, the former director of the Police Reform Organizing Project who has thrown his hat in the mayoral race. De Blasio has not âaddressed the social, racial and economic inequities that do such great damage to large populations that live in our city,â said Gangi. âHe supports âbroken windows policing,â which is blatantly racist policing.â
