Don't get me wrong. I'm pro-cop, and I absolutely believe they've got legitimate gripes and concerns. I think they mayor is entirely in the wrong.

That said, if I were advising them, I'd tell them to lay off the back-turning at funerals.

OK, so turning their backs is not the best option.

How do you think the NYC cops as a whole should address this problem of their boss showing public disrespect towards them that led to two of them getting whacked?

[Robert DeLong]

I disagree, they need to humiliate him at every possible venue. There was no disrespect shown to their fallen fellow officers. It was in fact the most respectful way to honor them by laying blame squarely on the mayor as to why they were attending this funeral in the first place.

What other recourse do cops have to express their opinion as a unified force? That thousands of cops showed up to the funeral proved that we respect the family of the fallen officers. And I 100% guarantee you that cops will do more for the families of these cops than the city will ever come close to doing.

If turning our backs to the Mayor, and only the Mayor, during a short speech is too much for people to handle then I suggest thicker skin.
