\n Mayor Bill de Blasio finally took action Wednesday to clean up the anti-cop graffiti from the David N. Dinkins Municipal Building in Lower Manhattan and to clear out the remaining Occupy City Hall protesters from a nearby park \u2014\u00a0 after he was hounded by The Post and other members of the press.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat graffiti on those public buildings is being cleaned up right now as we speak,\u201d de Blasio said during his daily morning City Hall press briefing, even though a day earlier he could not even provide a timeline for when the vandalism would be scrubbed when asked by The Post.<\/p>\n

The scrawling\u2019s, including some that read \u201cF\u2013k cops\u201d and \u201cACAB\u201d (for \u201cAll cops are bastards\u201d) popped up on the municipal property, including the historic Tweed Court House and Surrogate\u2019s Court on Chambers Street, when protesters began occupying City Hall Park last month to demand $1 billion in cuts to the NYPD\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n

De Blasio app<\/a>eared in no rush over the past few weeks to clean off the graffiti from the Dinkins building \u2014 named after the city\u2019s first and only black mayor \u2014 but he was quick to restore the Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower after it was defaced twice last week.<\/p>\n

Early Wednesday morning, a line of NYPD officers in riot gear also dismantled the month-long encampment at City Hall Park \u2014 a move de Blasio said he and NYPD brass called for at 10 p.m. Tuesday even though he told reporters during a briefing hours earlier that there were no plans to end the occupation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something I\u2019ve been evaluating over the last few weeks,\u201d de Blasio claimed Wednesday in reference to ending the encampment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we saw change over the last few weeks was the gathering there got smaller and smaller, was less and less about protests and more and more became an area where homeless folks were gathering,\u201d the mayor said, echoing almost verbatim what a reporter posited in a question to him 24 hours earlier.<\/p>\n

But de Blasio made no mention of that Tuesday in answering that question, saying, \u201cThere is a balance we always strike between the right to protest and especially public safety and I\u2019ve always put public safety first while respecting constitutional rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

By Wednesday, the mayor\u2019s tune had significantly changed. \u201cThe health and safety issues were growing,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was time to take action. That was a decision we made yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea, who was present for de Blasio\u2019s briefing, said that 40 to 50 people were at City Hall Park when the cops dismantled the encampment around 3 a.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of planning went into it,\u201d Shea said. \u201cWe did recover a number of bricks, sticks, brooms, some drug paraphernalia in some of the tents that were left.\u201d<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s top cop also said that he \u201ccouldn\u2019t be happier\u201d with the outcome of the eviction since there were no injuries and \u201cno real use of force.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, he said, \u201cThere was some tugging and back and forth\u2026there were people trying to punch officers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, I think I would categorize it as one for the win column and another step toward getting back to normalcy here in New York City,\u201d Shea added.<\/p>\n

Police made one arrest and handed out six summonses as they cleared out the park space, the commissioner said.<\/p>\n

GOP mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa said he thinks de Blasio was shamed into cleaning up the Occupy City Hall encampment after The Post pressed him about the lack of action to clean up the graffiti vandalism at the nearby municipal building named for Dinkins.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an absolute disgrace. It was so embarrassing hearing his fecklessness,\u201d Sliwa said. \u201cHow could you allow them to desecrate a building named after your mentor?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt reminded me of the way it was when David Dinkins was mayor,\u201d Silwa said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
