NYC Cops turn back on Mayor during Funeral - DISGRACEFUL. They insist on respect but will not respect their leader.

In case we didn’t get their memo from last week, hundreds of NYPD cops turned their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio for the second time since Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were slain in their police car on Dec. 20.
NYPD first disrespected de Blasio this way when New York City’s Democratic mayor gave a press conference after the murders, as AI reports in an earlier post. Then, hundreds of NYPD did it again on Saturday, when De Blasio stepped up to the podium to deliver a eulogy at Ramos’ funeral at the Christ Tabernacle Church, Queens’ Glendale neighborhood.
AP reports that while NYPD officers inside the church politely gave a light round of applause before and after De Blasio’s speech, the cops gathered outside turned their backs when their mayor appeared on the giant screen TV, with no regard for the feelings of other mourners gathered in the vast crowd.
These cops may have been following up on an NYPD union leader’s  epic hissy fit, as described by AI on Dec. 14. Patrick Lynch from the New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association railed at de Blasio’s supposed “lack of support” for NYPD and asked people to sign an outrageous petition banning him from police officers’ funerals. This in spite of the fact that it is a long-standing custom for the Mayor of New York City to honor NYPD’s fallen at their funerals.

These NYPD cops want their authority respected, but won’t respect de Blasio’s.
