Cops ignore Bratton, turn backs on de Blasio at officer’s funeral

Thousands of NYPD cops turned their backs on Mayor de Blasio on Sunday outside a Brooklyn funeral home as he eulogized a murdered NYPD officer inside.

As de Blasio addressed the loved ones of Detective Wenjian Liu in the Aievoli Funeral Home in Bensonhurst, the sea of blue watching the funeral on huge TV screens outside showed their disgust for Hizzoner by turning around as he spoke.

[Huskrrrr]

Back at you!

[ransacked]

Yeeeesssss!!

I support the police for expressing their feelings.

But sadly New York has a lot coming their way from the communist mayor they elected with a 72% vote. We haven't heard the last of this problem.

This is a union tactic to help in the upcoming negotiations for a new contract. NY has very tough unions and nothing gets in the way of a better contract.

+1. There comes a time to speak truth to power. The NYPD is doing that now.

I’ve seen a lot of lefties (and some righties) criticizing the cops for exercising their 1st Amendment rights. I don’t think Bratton is anything to write home about, either. So far, he’s been a DeBlasio butt-boy.

I’m so glad they did this AGAIN!

[tophat9000]

Hey when your dumb ass Communist boss is trying to get you killed.. I support the union too... think Poland’s Solidarity Union in the 80’s

[octex]

I don’t think Bratton is anything to write home about, either. So far, he’s been a DeBlasio butt-boy.

I read earlier that when Rudy G. was NYC Mayor he fired Bratton from the same job he now has.

So am I, de Blasio deserves to be treated this way for the rest of his life.

I think the cops are showing dignified restraint, I’d be throwing rotten eggs at him. HA!

Video news clips I caught show De Blobbio at the Liu funeral without his lesbian wife. The ambitious Mrs De must be furious.

Insider buzz is that Big Bird Blobbio is ruled by his wife---that the two work hand in hand to make public policy decisions.

In fact, news reports say Commissioner Bratton was forced to caution DeBlobbio not to bring his wife to the crucial meeting recently held w/ five cop union reps.

DE BLOBBIO'S WIFE

RESUME ENHANCEMENT PROGRESSIVE-STYLE During DeBlobbio's campaign, his wife Chirlane I. McCray was billed as a writer, poet, editor, communications professional, and political figure who published poetry and worked in politics for the Clintons.

THE REAL STORY

Mrs DeBlobbio 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."

They met while both worked for Dinkins. She says she had a nose ring and wore African garb when he spotted her and was completely smitten. She never told him she was a lesbian. And later said after their marriage she was still attracted to women.

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

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

THE ODD COUPLE

DeBlobbio gave his wife control of "the multi-million dollar Mayor's Fund." .... no telling who she’ll be dishing it out to....prolly to finance her ambitions.......those who helped get them elected also get a piece. Hillary is also waiting w/ her hand out.

Think money laundering...

The unelected lesbian even has a staff---two aides salaried @ half a million. NYC has enormous revenue flow. DeBlobbio (as do most Mayors) controls all of that revenue.

That these officers have disagreement with the chief and the mayor is one thing, to disrespect them is another. Their attitude sort of reinforces the image of out-of-control police that think that they are the law unto themselves. They work for the public, report to the chief and the mayor, if they can’t respect those three, they should quit or be fired.

[smoothsailing]

I’m pro right to work and anti public sector unions, so I’ll not quibble with you.

In this case, IMO, the cops are responding to de Blasio’s attacks on them with dignified restraint. I support what they are doing. If the unions are behind this, at least they got it right.

“de Blasio deserves to be treated this way for the rest of his life.”

AGREED!

[SevenofNine]

Did they give the Mayor NY Cabbie salute if you know what I mean

[smoothsailing]

Nonsense. They don’t lose their First Amendment rights when they put on a badge. They’re showing remarkable restraint in their quiet and dignified response to the cop-hating mayor.

[jazusamo]

Good for every one of those officers that turned their back to de Blasio.

He proved years ago he’s a commie sympathizer which in my book makes him anti-American.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Good!

[onyx]

LOL.
Oh yeah. Boo-ing loudly for sure.
The Bronx cheer.
