   New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio said Sunday he hopes to "move   
   forward together" with his health commissioner despite days of   
   backlash after reports that she made disparaging remarks about   
   police officers.   
      
   De Blasio said during his daily coronavirus briefing that he had   
   spoken to Dr. Oxiris Barbot "to clear the air on some of the   
   recent issues" and that she would remain in the role she's held   
   since 2018.   
      
   Barbot drew ire from lawmakers and police officials alike after   
   the New York Post reported she told NYPD Chief of Department   
   Terence Monahan, who wanted more masks for officers on the   
   frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic, "I don’t give two rats'   
   a--es about your cops," during a phone conversation in March.   
      
   Several officials urged de Blasio to fire her and police union   
   president Patrick Lynch called her remarks "despicable and   
   unforgivable."

   A health department spokesman said Thursday that Barbot   
   apologized to the chief for her contribution to "a heated   
   exchange between the two where things were said out of   
   frustration, but no harm was wished on anyone."
