Bratton may be trying to defuse things but it might be too late for that. Also I believe that De Blasio has lost the support of a great deal of the Police Department regardless of what Bratton says. It’s all Toxic now and wait until the funerals, will De Blasio and the idiots from the city counsel show up and then what??????
Mayor de Blasio needs to step down, and I am please the Police Officers used a non verbal way to address their feelings.....the police have feelings too. How do you object to the a$@)e who dissed you publicly and helped Sharpton and the protestors instead of NYPD.
APOLOGIZE...NOT NO BUT #@LL NO!!
Bratton should have know better than to accept the job under DiBlasio. Tells us where he stands. The time for both of them to speak up was when the cops were beat up on the Brooklyn Bridge.
Bratton is not trying to diffuse anything in anyway.
The response has not been “along party lines.”
This is a not terribly veiled threat of political and probably social retribution by the Democratic Party against officers who are democrats if they do not tow the party line even when their number are being killed.
