As Mayor Bill de Blasio took the podium Saturday at the funeral of P.O. Rafael Ramos, thousands of police officers in the streets watching video of the service inside turned their backs, in unison, to the monitors.

He was in a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t position; how could the mayor not appear at a cop’s funeral?
The family asked for his presence. Family wishes trump all. The officers should have respected that.
Yes I did read what you wrote.
And their actions are for Walter Wilhelm.
Get over yourself.
Is Dante DeBlasio a “troubled” child? Is there any real reason why his parents think a police officer is going to be called over his behavior?
De Blasio does not know yet....but his political career has come to end!!! The political end will come shortly after NYPD, slaughtered, murdered, abetted by De Blasio, NYPD, Officer, Liu will be laid to rest with honors, respect and dignity!!! He may as well resign. He stands alone...as a an Obamabot, low life, Black racist, America & Cop hater, along with Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, Obama, the CBC. the NAACP and the entire Democrat party, all human vermin!!!
De Blasio worked on Hillary's Senate campaign.
PAYBACK Bill swears in the new Mayor. Hillary was sitting nearby.
The Clintons milk the Progressive cop-hater vote.
I can understand your point, but it appears that his alienation of the police is complete considering their choice to do that at the funeral despite the wishes of the families.
This seems pretty serious.
Don’t know.
Seems to me that he has damned himself.
I’m not defending him at all; I loather him, and he did it to himself. I just remember the same stuff when Hillary was running for president, and being criticized for attending services for dead soldiers; I suspect many of those criticizing her would have done the same if she didn’t show up...
Yeah, that's a real choice! Replacing a Shweinhund with a Schmeckel! Having Schwantzie Boy (aka Carlos Danger) for mayor would have been such an improvement.
Not proof altho I’d like to see a photo of him standing before the cops, with their backs to him. Until then, I can’t say that they did at the funeral.
Do you by chance own an adult beverage establishment on East 18th Street near Union Square?
Ah...I read it that he was late this morning.
And, pray tell, why do you give a rat’s butt that Walter Wilhelm the German masquerading as an Italian got dissed OUTSIDE a funeral?
By all HONEST rights, that communist SOB should have been bodily picked up and THROWN into the street.
Back on track xkaydet.
Good. I wish they would’ve done so to Cuomo and Biden too.
I could not care less that Bill the Red gets insulted. It’s the venue. He was there at the request of Ramos’ family. The purpose of the assembly was to give respect to his sacrifice and solace to his family. A member of my family has been on the job continually from 1952 to the present. Three generations. Not one of them wouid have disrespected a brother officer’s family by using his funeral to make a political point, no matter how valid that point. If you cannot see that, you weren’t raised properly.
“I could not care less that Bill the Red gets insulted”
,I think turning their backs and chatting, even though it was outside on Myrtle Avenue was disrespectful to the family and to their murdered brother.

Bunk.
Your nose is out of joint over it.
It was expected that he would get dissed at the funeral.
They said they would diss Walter.
And your somehow ascribe it to being disrespectful of other officers?
The scumbag did not belong at the funeral, he should have been thrown into the street.
“Not one of them wouid have disrespected a brother officers family by using his funeral to make a political point, “
But it’s okay for Walter Wilhelm to do so.
Okay, I got it.
What part of the family asked for his presence do you not understand?
Almost none of it. Spite trumps charity.
