Should NY Police Officers That Turned Their Backs On Their Mayor Be Disciplined? (deaths, claim)

[TBCasino]

Nope, not at all.

I disagree with the officers, but they shouldn't be reprimanded. They have a right to their opinion.

Didn't these officers take an Oath to be subordinate and show the proper respect towards senior leadership and their Mayor as Commander-In-Chief?

DeBlasio early on took the side of the victims in public comments.

I applaud those cops for turning their backs.

Why would they turn their backs if DeBlasio took their side?

I'd agree but; DeBlasio does NOT have the back of the NYPD. HE needs to be punished; NOT the cops trying to keep NYC half way civil.

No, he didn't take their side. He took the other side against the cops.

For holding them to a higher standard? That's pathetic.

No, they have as much of a right to protest as anyone. Did it stop them from doing their jobs?

DeBlasio's outrage should have been directed at the Grand Jury, not the entire NYPD.

He took a side against bad cops. Do you think he should have sided with bad cops?
