(NYPD Commissioner) Bratton: Police turning their backs on Mayor de Blasio was ‘very inappropriate.’
NY Daily News ^ | December 28, 2014, | Stephen Rex Brown

NYPD Commissioner William Bratton said Sunday it was “very inappropriate” for police offers to turn their backs on Mayor de Blasio as he delivered a eulogy for a fallen hero cop.

“I certainly don’t support that action yesterday. I think it was very inappropriate at that event,” Bratton said on “Face The Nation” Sunday.

“That funeral was held to honor Officer (Rafael) Ramos and to bring politics, to bring issues into that event was very inappropriate and I do not support it.”

He is an imposter like his idol in the white hut, why does he call himself deblasio when his name is wilhelm? Bratton eats from deblowjobs plate, I admired him until he started paling around with commies

Letter from Phil Serpico in today’s NY Post puts blame on Bratton as well as de Blasio. Glad someone is saying it. Bratton should have resigned when the mayor did not allow him to keep control of the protesters.

What was “very inappropriate” was de Blasio showing his sorry azz at the funeral.

From the tweets/FB etc, the bad guys are planning a nationwide New Years Eve Massacre.
If more LEOs, firefighters,and EMTs are killed, it will be the fault of the failings of Mr. De Blasio and Commissioner Bratton.
We should, with sadness, prepare for more funerals.
The assassination attempt in North Carolina today is a case in point.

No, I don’t live in NYC. But I have seen plenty of videos of police interacting with young people in Bloomer’s stop and frisk videos. It was not pretty.

Did you have a point?

What everyone needs to remember is Police Commissioners are appointed by the Mayor of any given city.

Sheriffs are elected and answer to the people and not some bozo mayor.

The solution is obvious. Police commissioners should also be elected and not appointed. Then and only then will they have the standing to have a set of balls. Right now they are nothing more than mayoral puppets and our police officers on the street who put their lives on the line in those crime infested cities deserve better.

Occasionally we find flaws in our system. This is one of them but easily fixed in theory but hard to do in practice because the mayors all want to rule just like our dicktaster in chief is right now. Talk about setting a bad example.

Don’t turn around, uh-oh
Der Kommissar’s in town, uh-oh

You’re in his eye
And you’ll know why
The more you live
The faster you will die

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar

Most sane people in NYC were in favor of stop question and frisk because it saved lives.

Hey, the NYPD is a hard core lefty union shop. They got their dear leader but don’t like him so much.

The PBA didn't endorse Wilhelm nor did they endorse Obama.

Police Commissioner William Bratton can be excused for trying to defend his Mayor. Even a lowly prostitute must please the source of her income. However, his statement on Face the Nation shows that he is either out of touch with reality or he was trying to deceive the public. In response to the question about the appropriateness of the officers turning their back on the mayor he stated, “At the same time it is reflective of the feeling of some of our officers at this juncture.” “Some?” The photograph of the officers showed that the entire assembly had turned their backs. Perhaps “some” of the officers outside of camera range did not turn their backs. Clearly the mayor has lost the support of more than “some” of the officers.

Locking up people in prisons would stop street crime, too.

I don’t know what the “PBA” is but there are plenty of pictures of Obama surrounded by NYPD officers during elections. And they look real friendly.

NYPD Cop Killer Worked for US-based Muslim Group ISNA (Islamic Society of North America)
Posted on December 24, 2014 by creeping

ISNA is Obama’s go-to Islamic group in the White House – he invited them to pray at his inauguration, twice, and he addressed their annual convention, despite their terror links.

via GotNews: NYPD Cop Killer Worked For Alleged Muslim Terror Front Group.

The Muslim NYPD cop killer Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley worked for a Muslim Brotherhood front group, according to his Facebook page.

GotNews.com has confirmed and exclusively discovered that Brinsley went by another name — Ismaaiyl Abdullah-Muhammad — and that he worked for the Islamic Society of North America.

The Islamic Society of North America is a Muslim Brotherhood front group that was described as an unindicted co-conspirator by the Justice Department in the 2007 Holy Land terror cases.

Brinsley a.k.a. Muhammad’s Facebook page includes liking pages like “I love Islam” and “I Have To Be More Philosophical, About My Life.”

Stop question and frisk was a way of doing it without further crowding our prisons—and without the crime you have prevented by the practice. You establish an attentive presence on the street and they leave the guns at home.

Unfortunately, we have a culture of leniency and phony grievance-mongering toward criminals among our judges and other political types, and they managed to do away with this harmless crime-prevention policy.
