The NYPD are not acting like a professional police force. They are acting like the military in some corrupt Third World country "Let us do whatever we want or there will be problems". If I was the Mayor of the City of New York, I would step up my game and remind them that it is the dog that wags the tail.
More like, the vast, overwhelming majority of NYC police officers are doing their jobs in a professional manner, and the mayor kicked their teeth in by characterizing all of them as a pack of unprofessional, racists, bullies, and thugs.
The mayor was taking two tragic incidents that happened between the police in Ferguson and NYC, which had nothing whatsoever to do with racial bigotry, and making them about racial bigotry, and jumping on the hate-cop bandwagon by characterizing NYC police as a pack of racists. There was no truth in what the mayor said.
They know it did. No, Garner was not attacked simply because he was black but in the big picture it does have racial elements to it.
He may have a point but the problem is he isn't willing to admit his culpability in it. It was his administration that set off what happened to Garner.
I can understand the cops being upset with him complaining about what they did when he was behind it.
Exactly, someone up the chain of command decided that selling loose cigarettes was a crime that needed to receive top drawer priority. It was not the beat cops that decided they hate cigarettes, and hate people reducing tax revenue, and gee golly wow, they really need to crack down hard on people selling loosey cigs.

Fulfilling quotas is not law enforcement, it's politics, from the politicians and bureaucrats. Then when the cops are forced to go outside law enforcement and play politics, the politicians blame the cops when things go wrong.

Right......if there isn't enough crime it's criminal to enact quota's to get the police looking under every rock for it and in some cases simply making it up to meet those quota's.

Harassing the people just to keep idel hands busy, will only antagonize people against the police, not against the bureaucrats and politicians that are directing those idle hands.

Probably so which is why I support the police in sending it upstream.

What exactly did the mayor say that got them riled up? Missed that one.
These cops turning their backs on the mayor during a freakin' FUNERAL of their fellow officer is disgraceful. They're engaging in an act of protest during a somber ceremony. It's disrespectful not only to the mayor but ESPECIALLY to the officer who died & his family. That funeral is no place to engage in politics & take away the focus from what it should be on, that dead officer. Those cops are completely unprofessional & selfish.
What funeral, the fragile? It was a union meeting, by the goons in blue.
