For de Blasio, Attack Comes Amid Tension Over Police
The New York Times ^ | 20 Dec 14 | MATT FLEGENHEIMER

Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke in sober terms at a news conference on Saturday at Woodhull Hospital after two police officers were shot and killed in Brooklyn.

It is the sequence that every mayor dreads: the ominous report, the scramble to the hospital and the confirmation that, yes, an attack against the police has proved fatal.

But for Mayor Bill de Blasio, the tragedy on Saturday — when two police officers were shot and killed in an ambush in Brooklyn, according to the authorities — arrived at a particularly trying moment, amid an already fractious relationship with the police.

Police union leaders and officers could be seen turning their backs to the mayor and the police commissioner, William J. Bratton, as they walked past, in a video taken at the hospital where the two held a news conference on Saturday. A written message from Edward Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, addressed the mayor directly. “Mayor de Blasio,” it read in part, “the blood of these two officers is clearly on your hands.”

Tell me please: what sort of male would fall for a black female wearing a nose ring who’s an avowed lesbian? Who——after their marriage-—tells him she’s still attracted to women?

I once knew a middle aged white guy who taught a "Multi-Culturalism" class who was very insecure, bombastic, and had unpredictable temperament. He told outrageous stories that I had trouble believing were true. For instance, he would tell stories about how he was walking home one night and a lone black female was being harassed by five or six white men, and how he "fought them off" and saved her. Or about relatives who would come to his house and make racial comments about blacks, and he would lecture them and shame them of the error of their thinking, and then proceed to blather the Liberal Gospel. I tend to believe that DeBirdBrainio is similar to that guy.

From linked your article:

She also dodged the questions about bisexuality — saying she hates “labels”

Oh please. LiberalSpeak.

By that twisted logic, then God is a "labeler." He calls sin - sin (1 John:3:4), murder - murder (Exodus 20:13), immoral lesbianism - immoral lesbianism (Romans 1:26-27), and laziness - laziness (Proverbs 20:4).

I bet the entitled Mz. De Blasio accepts "labels" that stroke her precious ego.

Her statement is more of the same: liberals cannot stand Truth.

COZY LITTLE BUNCHA WEIRDOS ARENT THEY? a former aide to the Mayor's wife failed to disclose she was cohabitation with Hassaun McFarlane, and ex-convict. “I cant come outside without the pigs f—— with me in the hood,” wrote McFarlane who also made anti-white and anti-woman statements on social media.

McFarlane once attempted to run over a New Jersey state policeman while driving Noerdlinger’s car.

After resisting calls to fire her, de Blasio finally placed his wife's aide (who was also a former aide to Rev. Al Sharpton), on an indefinite leave of absence last month.

(Snort) Betcha she's still on the public payroll---sucking up tax dollars 24/7.

============================================

Tell me, again....why does di Blabbio's weirdo wife need an aide? Oh wait---maybe the aide polishes Mrs Di Blob's nose ring?
