NEW YORK — A fury erupted Tuesday over Mayor Michael Bloomberg's remarks that a police detective who worked on the World Trade Center cleanup is "not a hero" because his death was ruled unrelated to the toxic debris.
The family of retired police detective James Zadroga and the city's police unions called for an apology from the mayor, saying his comment was heartless. They said every member of the police force is a hero for putting their lives on the line, particularly those who worked in the months-long cleanup at ground zero after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
