“They should turn their backs to him.” I watched part of the funeral live on FOX but missed seeing De Blasio speak. I read that they DID turn their backs on him when he spoke. I have not heard anything of what Biden had to say or if the police turned their backs on him as well.
What an insult to Ofc. Ramos’s memory!
