Conservatives are so quick to condemn the Mayor. He expressed an opinion on how to handle a specific law enforcement issue. He didn't ask his constituents using subtle language to "kill cops." But where were they when Gabby Gifford's was shot?



This same thing happened recently in Lakewood NJ. No mayor asked for it to happen. No Mayor said anything to encourage it. There is already an existing animosity between the police and public based on the way they handle law enforcement in some communities.

That image is pathetic. This isn't the only example. Sharron Angle made a similar statement regarding "Second Amendment remedies" for "taking Harry Reid out." I've seen protest signs, in Washington, stating, "We came unarmed...this time."

I'll never support anyone who suggests violence as an alternative to the democratic process.

There was no swearing, no yelling, no vulgarities, no chants of "who do we want? the mayor! how do we want him? thrown out of office!" ... I think they got their point across perfectly with absolutely no disruptions of any kind.

I thought it was great. DeBlasio was treated with the respect from cops he deserved.

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?

Confirms the fact that they only look out for themselves and not the public.

So, when they respond to an armed robbery in progress they're doing it for themselves?

You most likely do. We aren't even a country without resorting to violence. We tried the democratic process for years.
