Thousands of people are expected to attend the funeral Saturday of a police officer shot to death along with his partner in a brazen daylight ambush that shook the city and put an end to large-scale local protests criticizing police following a series of high-profile deaths in police custody.
Vice President Joe Biden and Mayor Bill de Blasio are expected to speak at the funeral of Officer Rafael Ramos, who was described Friday during an eight-hour wake attended by thousands of police officers from across the country as a selfless, caring and compassionate man.

They should turn their backs to him.
I sure hope VP Biden doesn’t ask officer Ramos to stand up and take a bow.
where’s Al?
the mayor needs to be asked
Shouldn’t Sharpton be taking a bow for his people?
Pray America is waking
Roger that. Except they should turn their backs to bill de blah blah and shotgun joe. (How many do you suppose voted for da boaf of dem?)
Funerals for Democrats are the most disgusting displays. I would not them at my funeral!
Biden is speaking? Because the President is on vacation?
I guess another insult to the American people and law enforcement should have been expected.
Aside from that, sending the vice president to this funeral is very much adding insult to injury -- not just because he's an insufferable idiot, but because he is very much a part of the Obama administration and is DiBlasio's political Daddy.
I get it. This is a show of force (albeit a very lame one) by DiBlasio. It has nothing to do with honoring the deceased or the NYPD.
Presumably the families of the officers control the funeral. If De Blasio and Biden speak, it will be because they were invited. My guess is that the families wanted a full-on state funeral, which would make it a city affair. That would make it harder to refuse the pols.
Pez head sharpton has been in close contact with his boss obama and holder especially with ferguson. He is the link to the other racist bastards in the whitehut who are souly responsible for the deaths of these to police officers and the racial turmoil and destruction we see today. Civilian and uniform alike should turn your back on them. I hope someone during thier heart felt bullsh## speech yells “where’s sharpton?”
I put put the word out to the Mayor’s office that the funeral is not open but invitation only, that he is not welcome, that he will not be allowed in, that off-duty officers will be guarding the funeral area, and that if he tries to crash in his butt will be thrown out onto the sidewalk.
I cannot figure people out. If Jesse james shot their father would they invite frank to speak at the funeral?
If the pols want to attend, they will. It will all be arranged — with the right incentives to officials to “make it happen”. Politicians know how to manipulate things. Its what they do.
Boo and Hiss. rotten apples.
run them off the property.
You can fool most of the people most of the time.
Fredo Biden is speaking now. I literally couldn’t listen for more than 10 seconds. The insincerity is obvious. Fredo ain’t as smart as he thinks he is. He can’t “handle stuff”.
I’m with you. I hope they do turn their backs.
I’d love to see a giant photo of it on all newspapers
and a utube video.
I was really hoping the family would have stepped in and not allowed this grandstanding by the mayor and Biden. The only people who have a right to say anything at this funeral is the family and friends who knew the officer.
