The commissioner seems to be backing the authority of De Blasio.

NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton Warns Officers: Cop Funerals 'About Grieving, Not Grievance' - ABC News

Personally I think it is good the commissioner is taking a stand and not trying to turn deaths into politics.

It's a good PR/ Management move. Bratton is brilliant manager and criminologist.

Now it will look like the cops are disrespecting Bratton AND DeBlasio if they decide to turn their backs.

Not sure what will happen though........................

If turning their backs only meant showing de Blasio disrespect, I'd remain opposed, but wouldn't actively argue against the practice (it's just not in good taste, regardless of any policy differences). However, I believe that doing so is a distraction to what is supposed to be a day of mourning for family and friends of the fallen, and so actively oppose such actions.

As much as I would love to see the cops turn their backs away from DB I don't think they will this time around.

Without comment on the politics of it all........

For homegoing services, at least from the view here, it's the presence that's important, as opposed to the wear, so long as the wear isn't causing any type of distraction! (i.e., 'very short mini-skirt'! However, many churches have covering cloth for the occasion, just in case!)
