New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he will attend the funeral on Saturday for one of the two police officers killed over the weekend while they sat in their patrol car in Brooklyn.

Is he going to give a speech also ?

[PistolPaknMama]

I’d be surprised if Sharpton is still alive a month from now.

Good heavens, we don't need that maggot to be martyred!

[Jagdgewehr]

Oh, I anticipate the usual faux lamentation mixed with the disingenuous “come-together-time-to-heal” blather at some point.

[Shimmer1]

If this murdered cop were my husband, he wouldn’t. All she has to do is say “I don’t want him there”

[Kackikat]

Well, if he keeps losing weight ....the bright side is he may disappear, or we can hope.

[Shimmer1]

More the fool them.

[Shimmer1]

Really?! she said excitedly!

[omega4412]

One funeral Saturday. Flags ought to be displayed across the country in memory of the officer.

[OpusatFR]

I have to make some calls to see how this is really being received.

[ladyjane]

If the murdered cop were my husband and that piece of chit showed up at the church I would stand in the aisle and in a very loud voice order him out of the church.

[randita]

With that kind of talk, you’re debasing yourself to the level of Sharpton.

[Shimmer1]

I’ve had a husband that died and I don’t think that many families understand that they can make the rules. I would do the same as you. Or rather my friends and family would, for me. People are eager to protect the widow’s feelings.

[randita]

They said they don’t want him there. To ignore the sentiments of the family for his own political gain, DeBlasio appears selfish and insensitive.

If he goes, he makes the service all about him. Let the family grieve in peace, then go about what you can to make amends.

This is going to backfire, just like the Wellstone Memorial Service/Pep Rally did.

[QuisCustodiet1776]

Well you just keep on in your little world where everyone plays nice.

Being civil has done nothing but get us bent.

There is no political solution. The demographics have already tipped permanently.

We either get active or we go to the camps.

[timestax]

He will no doubt be late, and go strolling up to the front row,so everyone will SEE HIM in all his glory !

"I’d be surprised if Sharpton is still alive a month from now."

Somebody stabbed him in the chest in 1991, but the bastard didn't die. I hope he spends the rest of his life looking over his shoulder.

[mass55th]

"This will not end well. He is a FOOL."

My mother always told me "Don't go where you're not wanted."

[Darksheare]

It’s time to defenestrate the politician.

[randita]

We’re smarter than they are and we’re much more productive and industrious. That will get us much further than acting and talking like thugs.

[Jane Austen]

Good advice.
