For de Blasio, Attack Comes Amid Tension Over Police
The New York Times ^ | 20 Dec 14 | MATT FLEGENHEIMER

Posted on 12/21/2014 3:18:04 AM PST by SkyPilot

Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke in sober terms at a news conference on Saturday at Woodhull Hospital after two police officers were shot and killed in Brooklyn.

It is the sequence that every mayor dreads: the ominous report, the scramble to the hospital and the confirmation that, yes, an attack against the police has proved fatal.

But for Mayor Bill de Blasio, the tragedy on Saturday — when two police officers were shot and killed in an ambush in Brooklyn, according to the authorities — arrived at a particularly trying moment, amid an already fractious relationship with the police.

Police union leaders and officers could be seen turning their backs to the mayor and the police commissioner, William J. Bratton, as they walked past, in a video taken at the hospital where the two held a news conference on Saturday. A written message from Edward Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, addressed the mayor directly. “Mayor de Blasio,” it read in part, “the blood of these two officers is clearly on your hands.”

Look carefully at that picture of the double cop murderer. You will see why Deblasio really hates him. Notice the smoke coming out of his lips. This venom is being directed at him because he’s a smoker. The scumbag!!! </sarcasm>

The very un reverend $harpton has over used his Black Power racist card. His Black Power Racist card is approved by Herr Obama, Herr Holder and da Mayor di Blasio. Of course American tax payers of all colors will pay for any riot costs due to his use of his Black Racist Power Card.

The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic. 'Oliver Wendell Holmes'

Cops and their families are paying the biggest penalties, when cops are slaughtered by $harpton’s thugs.

NYC after $harpton, Di Blasio, Holder, Obama and the MSM mediot start riots and killing of cops>

LOL! Good one.

That picture was from his Twitter account, and I believe that is pot smoke emanating from his now dead lips.

Oh, in that case he's good. Pot is certainly acceptable even though one joint contains far more nicotene than one cigarette but why let facts get in the way....

DiBlasio - say, isn't he the guy who showed tender concern for the horses pulling carriages in Central Park and exactly zero concern for the police?

May he rot in hell.

THE ODD COUPLE

....the mayor's abuse of his office to stoke racial hatred is being fueled (in part) by his wife. Mrs DeBlabbio loudly declared her lesbianism in a magazine article---she was in a black feminist lesbian group and wrote poetry about being a lesbian.....Politicker noted her husband's campaign website doesn't reference her background as an avowed lesbian and a lesbian activist or lesbian poet: It notes her affiliation with the Combahee River Collective, omitting mention of the group’s lesbian roots, referencing it as "a pioneering black feminist collective."

During the campaign, she was asked about her lesbian lifestyle----she retorted she "didn't understand the question."

They honeymooned in Communist Cuba. Musta been a shock on their wedding night when DeBlabbio came out of the shower in a towel. "You want to put what where," said the startled lesbian.

Sharpton told Reuters de Blasio's request to halt protests was "ill-defined" ...
"Is a vigil a protest? Is it a rally?" Sharpton asked.

Maybe Sharpton's financial supporters know the answer. Read on.

========================================================

Fox's Melissa Frances reported on The Kelly File that Al Sharpton not only hosts an MSNBC show, but that:

<><> MSNBC Corporate finances Sharpton's Ntl Action Network (NAN);

<><>Comcast is also one of Sharpton's financial backers.

Good post Liz. Where did you find the article that mentioned that his wife was partly responsible for stoking his racial rhetoric against the NYPD?

Sorry, I gotcha. You posted about her lesbian past and her avoiding questions during the campaign. Yup, read that as well.

Tell me please: what sort of male would fall for a black female wearing a nose ring who’s an avowed lesbian? Who——after their marriage-—tells him she’s still attracted to women?

Di Blabbio is a very disturbed individual-—has a big problem w/ his identity. Used different names and ethnicities. Is totally confused about his role as Mayor.
