re: NYPD Cops Turn Backs on Mayor DeBlasio At Slain Officer’s Funeral

You don't think he would have been absolutely skewered for choosing NOT to speak?

Damned If you do, damned if you don't.

So I need to C&P sentrius's post? Or are you ok reading it yourself?

I read it myself and immediately deleted my post. I hadn't gotten that far in the thread. Take it easy.

The anti-cop backlash is not, and never should be, race based! That's the media narrative that essentially dumbs down the entire issue into a left/right paradigm like everything else in this country. Which also allows the issue to expire with our ADD news cycle.

Over militarization of police officers and over stepping the boundaries of their authority should be a completely color blind issue, because it effects all races. But alas, we are generally a nation of idiots, easily manipulated by race baiters and taking heads on television.

Was this the funeral where DeBlasio showed up two hours late?

Now THAT was tacky. And not the first time, as he was also late to an event honoring victims of a plane crash. That a-hole will end up being late to his own funeral.

Must be tough for a liberal politician to have a government employee union turn on him.

Though I have immense respect for the pimp over my many years o n this board (no bullshite),you were the first clown attributing blame to a politician for the actions of a sociopath. As if a more conservative verbal approach from Deblassio would have, somehow, prevented a sociopath from following through with his depraved actions.

That's pretty ignorant, Pimp. What could Deblassio have said to talk this psycho off the cliff?

I agree with you - if you believe the cops need to be reined in (I am not convinced of that, but do not object to rational people wanted to make damned sure they are on the up and up policy wise) - race should never have been introduced into either of the incidents that have prompted the riots,

However - race WAS introduced from day one - and instead of demonstrating leadership and divorcing race from any real or perceived problems, Obama, Holder, and then Blasio doubled down on the RACIST allegations.

These riots would not be happening - or would at least be more likely to be a decent non-violent protest - without the race factor. By throwing in with the race aspect, these assclowns not only pushed a false narrative, but they derailed any serious discussion of any real problems that may exist, and they inflamed a lot of low-intelligence thugs to commit violent acts.

Resulting in the murder of two innocent cops by some deranged idiot.

NONE of this shite had to happen - it ONLY happened because of the professional anarchists and the race-baiting wing of the civil rights movement and by the politicians like Obama, Holder, and Blasio.

Of course there are bad cops - they need to be removed from the force and prosecuted if need be. If there are problems with police policy, it is Blasios duty to make changes. None of this requires riots in the streets to accomplish.

Certainly none of it requires false race riots.

I 100% agree!!!

Seems to be a shite load more showing support for law enforcement rather than those showing support for law breakers. Just saying.

No shite. Breaking things down along racial lines tends to have that effect.

Maybe If we focused more on the 12 year old Cleveland boy, or the middle aged Hispanic gentleman shot in Georgia, instead of the race of each victim, this conversation may be more productive.
