New York police union tells Mayor Blasio he is BANNED from funerals of cops killed on duty - after he told officers they had to change in the wake of Garner chokehold death
The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association posted a form on its website Allowed members to sign a letter barring the mayor and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito from their service Say it's because of their 'consistent refusal' to show officers respect Goes on to add that their attendance would be considered an 'insult' De Blasio prompted anger last week when he said his black son Dante should be 'wary' when dealing with the police A New York police union has told Bill de Blasio to stay away from funerals of cops killed in the line of duty.
The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association posted a form on its website that members could download and sign, barring the mayor and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito from their service.
It simply reads: 'As a New York City police officer, (I) request that Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito refrain from attending my funeral services.' The letter then goes on to state that their 'consistent refusal to show police officers the support and respect they deserve' would mean their attendance is an 'insult'.
The mayor and the speaker released a joint statement condemning the move.
According to the Daily News, the pair said: This is deeply disappointing. Incendiary rhetoric like this serves only to divide the city, and New Yorkers reject these tactics.

wow
DeBlasio parrots incendiary rhetoric every day
just getting what they voted for. I’m sure most union members voted for this idiot.
While I agree wholeheartedly with the union... good luck with that. Anyone who doesn’t think a Demonic Party/communist POS like De Lousio isn’t going to show up and pretend like he supports law enforcement is delusional.
This is great popcorn time...
Socialists schemes ALWAYS blow up.
And still another 3 years before the next NYC mayoral election!
Banned? Not billboy de blaze-ee-oh. He’s, he’s, he’s so progressive.
Isn't DeBlasio not even his real name?
Los Angeles had a mayor a few years ago who's name wasn't his real name.
And of course we have a President who's actual name is ambiguous.
Suppose the mare requires a badge number to accompany the request?
DeBlasio, if indeed that is his name, is a first class jerk.
Did this union back this nut?
Fight! Fight! New York City is having a fight!
DeBlasio is an America-hating Marxist.
One of the reasons Garner was killed was because DeBlasio was so greedy for cigarette tax revenues that he authorized a crackdown on people like Garner.
But then all big government libs have a money addiction. The more you throw at them the more they want.
Like they are going to arrest Da Mare.
Democrats would go ape poop over that.
It’s a nom de plume lol
They have just “excused” the mayor from paying sympathies... something tells me this might not play out like they wanted. Sometimes it pays to stay civil.
De plume in his hat that he calls macaroni.
Just wait until the NYC police start turning the other cheek to minor and petty crimes to make a point....
The mayor should always have the polices back....at least publicly...
NYC will be returning to the good ole days of the 70’s / S
lol
Two days of “blue flu” would have the city begging the cops to come back on duty. Maybe they need to consider it, show where the anarchy and murder is really coming from. Hint: it’s not the police.
