I agree that it’s a gesture of disrespect. Imagine if a military unit turned its back to the President...that wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) be tolerated. These cops are fortunate that they can show their disrespect like that.
Why?
If Obama is as anti military as Deblasio is anti cop........ the disrespect can and should be shown. Screw em.......
A lot of these cops — maybe most of them — are from police departments outside New York City. Bratton has no authority over them whatsoever. They come from places that are still part of America, not that leftist totalitarian fiefdom known as New York City. So they’ll do whatever they damn well please.
One has to earn respect, and deBlasio has earned just the opposite. Every time those cops turned their backs on him, it’s well-deserved.
And the military can do the same with the POS in the White House as far as I’m concerned.
