A huge group of New York City Police Department officers turned their backs on “Red Bill” de Blasio as the city mayor delivered remarks at the funeral of slain officer Miosotis Familia.
Familia was assassinated in the Bronx last week by a man with a heavy criminal record. A lifelong public servant, she spent 13 years as an NYPD officer. Before that, she worked as a nurse at NYU Hospital and as a medical assistant for the American Red Cross.
Instead of attending Familia’s vigil, de Blasio jetted off to Hamburg, Germany. There, he addressed a radical leftist extremist protest that quickly turned violent and resulted in injuries to some 500 police officers.
Even the left-wing New York Times noted de Blasio’s bizarre trip to Hamburg — in which he dissed the American president on foreign soil — as a “much criticized” trip. In addition to missing Familia’s vigil, de Blasio also skipped over the swearing-in of over 500 new NYPD officers.
NYPD Sergeants Union president Ed Mullins slammed de Blasio’s utter disregard for the police, stating on behalf of his officers: “New York City is right now mourning the loss of a police officer who was dedicated to the city of New York, and we have our mayor who has just gone to Germany to join protesters. Is this the type of city we want to live in?"
Mullins also blamed de Blasio for creating an “anti-police atmosphere that is based on inaccurate facts and lies.”
In New York City on Tuesday, officers showed their disgust for their mayor’s abandonment of blue lives. While Mayor de Blasio spoke at Familia’s funeral, hundreds of officers turned their backs in protest of his leadership.

The sad thing is that de Blasio’s base will love this. They will take this as proof that de Blasio is on the side of criminals, #BlackThugsMatter, Antifa, and socialist terrorists. The mayor probably gets bonus votes for this.
Police officers turning backs on de blasio are merely a badge of honor for the power drunken lout.
My thought exactly.
They must have a lot of stupid fools walking around. I mean they must be, look at what a pos they voted in. They can’t be too bright.
An incomplete statement on the part of the men in blue.
After turning their backs, they should’ve dropped trou and bent over.
People need to get off of their butts and vote. I applaud the police but will the police union turn its back next election?
If they keep having subway breakdowns, we might get our wish.
It is time for people to learn how to use a hat pin.
“De Blasio is a disgrace”, had one of those cops known how to use a hat pin, De Blasio would be a limping disgrace
