NY nursery asked to use part of parking lot for officer funeral – says ‘absolutely not’ then blocks it with trucks

In order to give Officer Tsakos a proper hero’s funeral, members of the local community were asked for their assistance in ways that would cost them no money, but would lend a helping hand in creating a funeral that would be fitting for a true hero who died in the line of duty.

Once such place, Decker’s Nursery, in Greenlawn, NY, was asked by the Greenlawn Fire Department if they would be willing to provide a small portion of their parking lot in order to set up an arch detail for Officer Tsakos’ funeral.

The response they got was an unexpected one, when Decker’s Nursery said “absolutely not”, according to reports.

Local sources state that not only did the local nursery refuse to allow the Fire Department the space to pay tribute to an officer who dedicated 14 years to his police department, they went a step further and proceeded to block off their entire parking lot with trucks and person vehicles.

What is wrong with people? Never in my life would I believe that people could be so hateful and antagonistic towards the police. We are living in Superman's Bizarro world where everything wrong is right.

Now the FIRE DEPARTMENT!

"...refuse to allow the Fire Department the space to pay tribute..."

It's going to be too bad if they ever need police or fire protection.

In Colonial Philadelphia, you had to purchase fire insurance to get the fire brigades to put out your house fire. You put an emblem on your house to show you were insured. I see this same feature in our future -- you put out an emblem showing support for police and fire departments in order to get their services.

From Facebook post by Greenlawn Fire:

“In response to the media attention over the last 24hrs, the Greenlawn Fire Department has been contacted by Decker’s Nursery, and they have now approved the usage of their property for a flag arch per the original request.”

People are just more and more hateful in general it seems. Even to the point that you can see and read about people openly cheering and applauding at the misfortunes of others.

I think he was the officer killed by the very drunk Black woman who ranted against the police on some online program she had. So no doubt the usual asswipes like BLM are defending her and at the ready to protest any support for the officer she mowed down.

well is not that nice of them after it becomes known what a gaggle of s..t they are. The fire dept should have sprayed their plants with a solution of round up.

This needs to be shared massively in that neighborhood. If I recall correctly from the Chad/Chaz zone, leftists have no idea how to garden. They spread a thin layer of top soil over some asphalt and planted veggies in it.

Here's a favorite of mine about first responders colliding with woke victims:
