Thousands of police officers are paying their respect to a New York Police Department officer shot to death along with his partner as mourners converge from around the country Sunday for a second funeral that stands to test tensions between the city's mayor and police.
Buddhist monks led a Chinese ceremony for Officer Wenjian Liu, followed by a traditional police ceremony with eulogies led by a chaplain. Liu, 32, had served as a policeman for seven years and was married just two months when he was killed with his partner, Officer Rafael Ramos, on Dec. 20. Despite commissioner Bratton's warning to his officers not to show any disrespect toward the mayor--or, for that matter, Liu's family--thousands of NYPD officers turned their backs to de Blasio as he eulogized the fallen hero....

I can guarantee they are there on the taxpayers dime....
Well, actually that would be my money.
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 groups 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 shell 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.
made my day
That little Drama Queen Geraldo. What was the racist perv doing there at all?
He has numerous times aired his anti-NYPD propaganda on FOX.
GEEZ! Don’t have a cow!
De Blobbio worked on Hillary's Senate campaign.
Impeached president and disbarred lawyer, Bill Clinton,
swears in the new Mayor. Hillary was sitting nearby.
The Clintons milk the Progressive cop-hater vote.
Dinkins never...NEVER...exhibited good judgment, the reason being that he was a falling down alky.
Not even the best of the best of “Friends of Bill” in Manhattan could get through to him.
(Info from one who knows.)
Thanks for the realtime buzz.
ROTFLOL.

Why yes, yes it would.......Big frickin deal, I have no problem with it whatsoever.
Tell you what, call your local PD or FD and LET THEM KNOW you don't want them sending any more reps to the funerals of their fallen comrades in your state since it's unlikely they may have sent one to this funeral.......Fair enough?
No need to get hostile, HT.
I think it’s wonderful that they’re there.
Very, very strange.
Well, I don’t think its wonderfull. Remember that its a funeral for a LEO that’s been assasinated. Nothing wonderful about that, t.
I don’t understand your point. The families of these murdered policemen certainly take comfort in this show of respect and support.
Must have been the shoes he was wearing!.
