Petition:

Today, Saturday December 20th 2014, 5 days before christmas, 2 NYPD officers were shot and killed in their cruiser for no apparent reason.With the recent news surrounding the NYPD and other law enforcement agencies around the country, our mayor blasted his own police department by throwing them under the bus.

His words and actions on the subject matter of late have to be held accountable. He is unfit to lead this city. He is unfit to have a relationship with his police department for his remaining tenure and he should be taken out of office IMMEDIATELY, with proper protocol to be followed to name a replacement before a special election.

I’m betting he kicks off a campaign to get all NYC workers a minimum wage of at least $15....all will be forgiven from those he thinks counts.

Ha Ha. The petition is hosted by MoveOn.Org and there is a note that says that because the petition does not reflect the organization’s progressive values it will merely host the petition but will not present it.

Cops in Bed-Sty should catch a bit of Blue Flu for the next couple of weeks and let the jungle rule prevail.

44K or 100K signatures in a city of 20 million really don't amount to a pimple on de Blasio’s arse. My guess is, he and his party will just shrug it off. The big question now, is will or will he not attend the funerals of the two police officers. That would/will be an opportunity for him to throw some more gasoline on this smoldering fire.

[Tupelo]

An epidemic of Blue Flue is something I could get behind since that would be an individual decision by each cop.

[BusterBear]

Yeah, but if de Blasio resigns, who will replace him? I believe the NYC succession law says the Public Advocate is next in line - that would be Letitia James, who is even worse than de Blasio, if that’s possible.

[Husker24]

A _ holes like him never resign. They usually die in a bunker with the sound of artillery in the background.

8 million+ in the 5 boroughs.

This is on MOVEON.ORG???!?

Wow.

[Kackikat]

I guess this is the first time the far left and far right are in agreement, so can we sign the move on petition??

[Kackikat]

We should sign it. Too bad we can’t make de Blasio a rooky cop on a beat in the projects...a white cop.

[Kackikat]

Time for a new election.....

[Kackikat]

We should sign it...call it bipartisanship.

[Lazamataz]

I did.

I see that another policeman has been killed in Florida.

I am wondering if we are seeing F&F II?

By radicalizing the minorities, the government will have to look are more "reasonable" gun control.

[immadashell]

If DeBlasio had been mayor on 9/11/2001 he would have gone to a mosque on 9/12/2001 to vilify the NYFD.

[RegulatorCountry]

The use of the word “Garner” in this headline is interesting, given the circumstance.

[jughandle]

Soon he will break out the “how much worse it COULD be....” theme.

[oldbrowser]

right now it’s just a breaking news banner on Yahoo.
