KISS MY GLOCK: 1000s of Officers Turn Their Backs as de Blasio Speaks at Funeral!
De Nausio gets dissed again. Enjoy.
Hundreds of officers outside the church where a funeral was held for a policeman killed along with his partner in an ambush shooting turned their backs on the New York mayor as he spoke during Saturday’s service.
Rafael Ramos, a 40-year-old father of two, was shot dead with his partner officer Wenjian Liu, on a Brooklyn street by shooter, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, last weekend.
Today his wife Maritza, and two teenage sons Justin and Jaden were surrounded by thousands of police officers at the 90-minute service at Christ Tabernacle Church in Glendale neighborhood of Queens. The eldest son wore his father’s NYPD jacket
The reaction Saturday follows comments from police union officials who said Mayor Bill de Blasio contributed to a climate of mistrust toward police amid anti-police protests.
When he arrived at the funeral, according to CNN, he was booed and a protester held a sign reading ‘Dump de Blasio’.
Inside the church, mourners gave de Blasio polite applause before and after his speech.
The mayor said hearts citywide were aching after the shootings that left Ramos and his partner dead.
The police union president and others turned their backs on the mayor in a sign of disrespect at the hospital after the December 20 shooting.
Lynch blamed de Blasio then for the officers’ deaths and said he had blood on his hands.
