Police turn their backs on Mayor de Blasio during funeral for fallen NYPD cop

Hundreds of police officers outside the Queens, N.Y. church Saturday where the funeral of Officer Rafael Ramos was being held turned their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio as he eulogized the fallen officer who was ambushed last week along with his partner.

De Blasio's remarks were being shown on large TV monitors outside the Christ Tabernacle Church. Police union officials have accused the mayor of fostering a climate of mistrust that contributed to the killings of Officer Ramos and his partner.

More than 25,000 police officers from across the country assembled in winter sunshine to pay final respects to Ramos, a seven-year veteran of the NYPD. The long sea of blue stretched more than six city blocks.

All this agitation is being stirred up by the Revolutionary Communist Party and the muslim aligned groups like cair, MoBros, black pampers, occupy, etc.

I thought he was specifically disinvited.

Looks to me like the commmie filth crashed a private observance.

“Looks to me like the commmie filth crashed a private observance.”

One way to find out if it was a private observance is to see if any attendees got paid overtime to be there.

Yep, it’s all about the money.

DeBlasio will be forgiven when he assigns more taxpayer money to the police and their union.

Then all will be forgiven.

The taxpayer will have to pay - and hire private security if they want protection from crime.

If the police were nationalized this wouldn’t happen to important figures like DeBlasio.

You can't really do that out of respect for the cop being buried.What I'd love to see is the President of the NYPD police union officially,and clearly,announce that Comrade Wilhem isn't welcome at any policeman's funeral!

They told that asshat they didn't want him attending any cop's funeral.

But Nooooo, he had to show up anyway.

Excellent!, Way to go! I was wondering if the NYPD was going to do that. I thought perhaps the union and the police brass had maybe wanted them not to do it but I'm glad to hear they had the courage to do so. That sends a message alright. De Blasio should resign immediately.
