I'm sure De Commieo understands why they were shot, and knows they had it coming. Because the police should just give up when someone resists arrest, especially a black man. He's owed something.
Police turn their backs on Mayor de Blasio during funeral for fallen NYPD cop | Fox News
Hundreds of police officers outside the Queens, N.Y. church Saturday where the funeral of Officer Rafael Ramos was being held turned their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio as he eulogized the fallen officer who was ambushed last week along with his partner.

Anyone who sees that the officers symbolically turning their backs on De Blasio is a honorable thing missed the point.
This is not a f-U to De Blasio, this is a message to the people of NY. We are the "blue shield", we come before any law.
We do the job, but our loyalty is to one another...not the people.
The Blue Code of Silence (also known as the Blue Shield[1] or Blue Wall[2]) is the idea of an unwritten rule that exists among police officers not to report on a colleague's errors, misconducts, or crimes. If questioned about an incident of misconduct involving another officer (e.g. during the course of an official inquiry), while following the code, the officer being questioned would claim ignorance of another officer's wrongdoing.
Being sore, that is understandable. Perhaps they thought that this funeral service, with the national coverage it received, was the right time to do this.
But I am not sure how the family feels about it. Didn't Officer Ramos' brother say they are ready to forgive?
And shouldn't a funeral be a time of mourning and healing instead of a political spectacle?
I'm glad "De Commieo" understands...Because your post leaves me clueless. What a mumbled mess.
The police in NYC have made their point and it's time to move on. To prolong this will only serve to provide De Blasio with cover and a level of undeserved sympathy from the vast majority of the public that isn't taking sides here. Hopefully, De Blasio has learned his lesson about gratuitous rhetoric for false political gain and understands now that when you're Mayor you have a higher expectation for calm, reasoned, discourse than you do when running for the job.
Time for both sides to return to professionalism in their jobs and in their demeanors.
I doubt the NYPD ever let's this go; as long as De Blasio is in office.
