Most New Yorkers didn’t approve of police officers turning their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio at the funerals of two officers shot to death in their patrol car, or of the comment by a union leader that the mayor had “blood on his hands,” according to a poll released Thursday.

The Quinnipiac University poll found that 69 percent disapproved of the silent protest among police at the funerals of officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu and 77 percent considered union leader Patrick Lynch’s comment “too extreme.” …

Most of them are as weird and repulsive as de blasio.

I agree, it is truly disgraceful for the police officers to show their frustration with the honorable mayor by turning their backs on him. They should have held him down and pooped in his mouth.

They the same ones that dropped his approval rating to something like 32 percent . . . ?

So NYers are going to stand by their comrade. This is why I doubted recent polling that showed Di Blasio’s approval ratings in the tank. They like the fact he’s a socialist and are only disappointed he’s not bringing enough of it.

RE:”New Yorkers don’t approve of police rebuffing mayor”

On a similar subject its been reported that the NYC police slowdown includes less parking tickets,
This may backfire if most NYers like that and crime doesn't significantly increase.

"Question: What did Quinni find is DeBlasio’s approval rating?"

Dunno. But de Blasio's approval was 47% in December -- and he still has 3 years (at least) to go. This is going to be very interesting to watch -- from anywhere but New York City. Pass the popcorn!

Well Even DU hates Barry now...because he did not give them communism fast enough. So, the same dynamic is in play in NYC. They are mad that he isn’t fulfilling his leftist campaign promises.

To tell the truth, if the police in my little town decided to stop doing their jobs it wouldn't make me feel very warm and fuzzy about them. (Doubly so if my household was completely disarmed.) New Yorkers undoubtedly wish that they could wake up and find that this fight had gone away.

NYC needs to STFD and STFU. They voted for it.

“I don’t see why this poll is inconsistent with observed facts.”

I wouldn’t place any trust in an AP/Goebbels/Nazi poll.

As I said, Nazi or not, the data matches well with the facts on the ground.

Just maybe these folks aren’t worth cops putting their lives on the line.

What’s the chances that your town will have a communist mayor?

“Winnie The Pooh says, “I love honey, but I hate Bill de Blasio. I wish that son-of-a-bitch would go back to Nicaragua and get eaten by a heffalump.”

Ha! ...and a new tagline is born.
