De Blasio speaks out about NYPD cops' back-turning at officers' funeral: 'They were disrespectful to the families'
I think it defies a lot of what we all feel is the right and decent thing to do, the embattled Mayor said Monday during a press conference in which he and police Commissioner Bratton touted a 4.6% drop in crime citywide in 2014. Ironically, the number of summonses issued during the week ending Sunday dropped more than 90% compared to last year in a work slowdown as part of the rank-and-files continued protest against de Blasio over perceived anti-cop sentiments.

My recollection is that the annual peak homicide count in NYC was a bit more than 1900 (that is, one thousand nine hundred, or more than five per day on average), but I don't remember what year, and now that information is strangely difficult to come by using Google.
RE-FRAME FAIL
Him and Fauxahontas is the dream liberal ticket.
A visit to the USSR as a student inspired Iowa Senator Joni Ernst to take her first interest in politics and and to join the US military. She was shocked at the primitive state of the USSR.
Considering his ideological soul mates, he probably doesn't see the need.
he doesnt know whether his lineage was German....or Italian...Fauxahontas? ...SImilary “confused.”...
talk about diversity
Go spend the night in the sewer with the rats you turd.

Exactly right, he’s like Obummer, there is no limit to how low he will go.
The Huffington Post calls the cops who turned their backs “insolent.” No such label for those burning down stores, disrupting commerce and traffic or otherwise being destructive.
Crap....he will switch parties and join the GOP.
What libs do best. Double down on a losing hand.
Except this is NY and he was elected with 74% of the vote. In a few months it will be business as usual. Most of the voters are going to let him skate in the long run.
Screw NYC. They got what they voted for.
Sorry Comrade Mayor, they were “dissing” you idiot!
What a mouth !
So de Blasio responds by using the funeral and the families of the slain cops to make a point.
De Blasio does exactly the thing that he is complaining about.
Unbelievable.
Stupid is as stupid does...
Yep. Not only does he contribute to getting the cops killed, he then has the audacity to use their families to hide behind. I thought Obama was scum, but this guy take the cake, he’s the champion. That’s commies for you though. They should be nowhere near anything even resembling a position of power in the USA but sadly we have a LOT of stupid people in this country who keep electing them. This guy is just getting started too, he’s only been Mayor for one year. One year exactly to the day I believe, he took office early January 2014. He could end up being in office for the next 10.
