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.

Thanks to CNN for airing the funeral, I would never had seen this. Thanks Fox News for not showing it. smh

I also read that the family requested him and thinking logically thought they probably voted for him as well. Low information voters should not control city or country simply because they can be swayed by pols lies and their failure to grasp the reality of current situations. Major problem that aneeds a fix. Should be addressed in top ten.

“Too bad our soldiers can’t do that to O.”

Agreed. But know that 83% of them are doing it intheir minds.

Too bad congress doesn’t have the kind of b@lls to turn their backs on Obama at the state of the union address.
