The New York Times endorsed Democrat Kathryn Garcia for mayor on Tuesday, praising her call for "culture change" in the city's police department and belief that cops who didn't wear masks during protests last year should have lost pay. The pick comes a day after the New York Post endorsed former police captain Eric Adams in the crowded field to replace term-limited Mayor Bill de Blasio. "She is also committed to reforming the New York Police Department," the Times wrote of Garcia, a former commissioner of the city's sanitation department. As an example, she said, officers who did not wear masks during last year’s protests "should have been docked pay." Andrew Cuomo, D., and de Blasio scolded police officers for ignoring instructions to wear masks during racially charged protests last year that engulfed the city.
