As cops were being threatened and assaulted and the city reeled over the execution of two officers, Mayor Bill de Blasio prayed at St. Patrick’s Cathedral Sunday — then went into hiding.
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton visited the scene of the horrific attack in Brooklyn and Gov. Andrew Cuomo paid a wrenching condolence call at the home of one of the slain cops, but de Blasio ran from reporters and was nowhere to be found after the church service. Modal Trigger

He showed up for 10:15 a.m. Mass with his wife, Chirlane McCray, and Bratton, with all three sitting in a front-row pew as Cardinal Timothy Dolan urged prayers for the slain cops’ families, the NYPD — and the embattled mayor.
Dolan asked Bratton to tell cops that “we love them very much, we mourn with them, we need them, we respect them, we’re proud of them and we thank them.”
Reporters were then told to leave the church early for a nearby news conference with the mayor, but de Blasio — who was snubbed by scores of cops at Woodhull Hospital on Saturday — scooted out after the service and ignored questions as he hopped into an SUV.

Communist, Coward and Creep.
De Blasio prayed at a cathedral?
He may have been in there with his eyes closed and his lips moving, but other than that.....
Will he dare show up at the funerals?........................
He wouldn’t dare.
After the snubbing he received by the NYPD at his press conference, he may be worrying about the potential “optics”.
Communist, Coward and Creep.

However, wouldn’t this be one of those ‘Damned if you do and Damned if you don’t moments’?
He probably does have ‘true’ concern about his safety - One normally doesn’t go out of his way to ‘diss’ a whole profession, then you got people who want their 15 min of fame and decide to ‘take him out’ either to really get the pot stirred or try to blame others.
The way this idiot (DB) is acting, I am sure it wouldn’t take much for someone else to ‘do the deed’ and if you can get him, the Commish and Cuomo all in the same ‘target area’, it would be considered a ‘plus’ by many.
THEN, we would be saying “It is stupid for him to show up AND all 3 to be standing in the same ‘target of opportunity’ zone.
DeBlasio has the race baiters and malcontents to comfort him during these troubling times. its going to take a public apology to NYPD and the families for Wilhelm to save any face at this point.
hopefully, they'll follow the law(s) ...unlike before
He incited riots, violence and cop-killing, along with his co-conspirator Sharpton.
In a perfect world they would both be on the run, or locked up for many years... or swinging from a tree-branch.
Being a leftwing ideologue, he just may...............
He may go to the cop killer’s funeral.
What’s the big deal, Pope Francis and De Blasio are two peas in a pod.
Suicide watch?
Not implying anything there, I know I’ve done some real stupid stuff I’ve had the guilts about but it’s never resulted in anyone’s death.
I heard on Fox today that Bill de Blasio is a 1970’s dinosaur trying to drag New York back top the 1970’s
