This had nothing to do with unions. And yes, they were mourning their own. Why do you think so many attended. Do you not understand the bond that the police have for each other no matter what state they are from. It's the same with firefighters.
Uh I don't know - FREE AIR TRAVEL from Jet Blue? Do you really believe that some of these policemen would have spent their OWN $$ to pay respect?
The purpose of the day was to honor Ramos, not to express feelings toward anyone else. Comprehende?
Sorry, I guess you don't comprehend. Do you want me to explain it to you. They felt the mayor turned his back on him and in turn they turned their backs on the mayor in honor of him.
The officers should not have turned their back on a duly elected mayor UNLESS they confirmed with the family of the deceased beforehand and had their absolute approval.
If they didn't do that, they attended not out of respect, nor mourning, but simply union posturing.
Again, Natalie. It was a funeral. I'd have liked to have seen them arrange a meeting with the mayor, but like Westboro Baptist, these clownish cops do not understand a funeral is NOT the place for a protest.
Having behaved childishly, IMO now they do NOT deserve that meeting.

That is right..
I didn't see any signs to kill the mayor.. I didn't see the cops marching , yelling lets kill .. yet, the cops have to take that kind of abuse as Deblasio adds his divisive comments against the police. Deblasio is no peacemaker.
