As Mayor Bill de Blasio took the podium Saturday at the funeral of P.O. Rafael Ramos, thousands of police officers in the streets watching video of the service inside turned their backs, in unison, to the monitors.

“also he was two hours late:

How classy for the bastard.

[left that other site]

Just...wow!

How can ANY mayor sustain his position after something like that?

[Jagdgewehr]

Two hours late? How long was this funeral? I know they didn’t wait for him, did they?

[ErnBatavia]

also he was two hours late .

I don't know where you got that...I watched the entire thing, and he arrived 30 -35 minutes before the scheduled funeral.

Do you know what his birthname was Mikey?

[JustaCowgirl]

I might be the cause of that. I thought it was the funeral he arrived late for, but it was the wake on Friday night.

[Irenic]

Yesterday he arrived 2 hours late or towards the end.

[SandRat]

Did those there, give him a BIG BRONX CHEER?

[MeshugeMikey]

first to Warren de Blasio-Wilhelm, then to Bill de Blasio.

According to the Post, he was 30 minutes early. Which sort of proves your point - his aides must have rousted him out of bed at an ungodly hour to get him there on time.

Did the families ask him to stay away? Regardless of the desires of the mayor or the police, the wishes of the families should prevail.

Ouch! Doubling down!

[ladyjane]

The only good thing about deBlasio is he is white. If he were black the cops would be called racist for turning their backs.

[fatima]

Bump.

[Antoninus II]

His original name was Warren Wilheim...
