This is more emotionalism. Mr. Davis was probably a good man but his achievments and accomplishments do not warrant this kind of pomp & circumstance.

Once Al "The Charlatan" Sharpton showed up, Bloomberg knew he had to do some serious pandering, and soon.

Interesting: He is being considered a "fallen hero". Mmmmm...
The man who shot him was supposedly enraged because Davis was going to "out" him-rather publicly as a member of the gay community.
If Davis had lived to do so, wouldn't that have been a "hate crime" by NYTimes standards ?

About 100 people, meanwhile, stood in line outside, waiting to go through the metal detectors to view the body.I'd say it is a little too late for that...........!

Didn't I read he was blackmailing the assailant? If so, like why is he being given honors and all?
