Where do you get your news from? It sounds like it is slanted, oh and in case you are wondering what deBlasio has been up to, he has been busy meeting with the families of the slain officers.

I seriously doubt that Loughner ever even
heard of Palin, let alone visited her page.

But we've beaten this one to death anyway.
Those "targets" on a map were common and
first used by Bob Beckel (Democrat) anyway.

I'm embarrassed on behalf of anyone foolish enough to bring it back up.

If the families of these two murdered cops met with de Blasio, they are better people than I am. I would have police officers block him at the door. His agenda and his apology would be too much to even consider at this time. These people have lost their father, husband, son, brother, grandchild, friend. The last thing on their mind is politics.

Please, the first things politicians do is visit the families of the fallen. Its a photo op.

So some police officers turned their backs on the Mayor. Big whoop.

Next time maybe a bunch of them will stare at him with contempt.

Since everyone these days is about making some statement in public, why not them? It didn't affect the public safety so just what is the big deal, did it steal some limelight away from football players or something?

What would this have to do with politics? If this happened in just about any city the mayor of that city would probably take the time to meet with the families.

I guess you never lost a very loved person due to the violent act of another? That loss is not football, *******, and how dare you make such a comparison.

That doesn't change the fact that these officers are blaming the wrong person, unless they are thinking the mayor should support wanting to turn the city into a complete police state.

It's a valid question to wonder if he indeed does.

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?
