Hundreds Of NYPD Officers Turn Their Back On de Blasio Again
Amid the heartbreak and sorry of the funeral of Rafael Ramos (one of the two assassinated NYPD cops last week), hundreds of police officers turned their backs away from the large screen outside the church as New York mayor Bill De Blasio began to speak...

Some police union officials have said de Blasio contributed to a climate of mistrust toward police amid protests over the deaths of Brown and Garner. At a hospital after the shooting, the police union’s president, Patrick Lynch, and others turned their backs on the mayor in a sign of disrespect. Lynch blamed the mayor then for the officers’ deaths and said he had blood on his hands.
Weeks before the shooting, Lynch suggested that officers sign a petition requesting that the mayor not attend their funerals were they to die in the line of duty. Cardinal Timothy Dolan and others have since called for such officials to temper the rhetoric.
De Blasio has stood by the police since the shooting, calling on demonstrators to temporarily halt protests and praising officers after the NYPD announced the arrest of a seventh person since the shooting for making threats against police.
On Thursday, the mayor briefly attend Ramos’ wake but made no comments. There was no noticeable reaction from the officers upon his arrival, and Ramos’ family has said they welcome the mayor’s presence at the funeral.
On Friday, an anonymous person paid for a an aerial sign to be flown over New York City. It read: “de Blasio, our backs have turned to you.”

Instead of turning their backs, they should just tazer the motherfucker.
- while playing electric avenue from their squad cars.
The unions should spend more time cleaning up their ranks than bothering with childish stunts like this.
An entire fleet of NYPD helicopters is doing circles around Glendale. I am up on a hill and they turn north in the circle to come right at my house. I have video, will see if I can post it. Glendale about 3 miles from my house. ON LIKE DONKEY KONG. Who would think that th eNPYD fires the first shots in the Civil War? Air traffic to LaGuardia normally runs right through this area on Saturday mornings. It's been rerouted. As I speak the helos are doing circles in a fleet.
Fire them all for mutiny and bring in some black cops!
Time for some role reversal justice!
NYC is going to have a lot more problems in the near future. Especially if cops start striking!
Nothing new. Say what you will, but the NYPD essentially held DSK ransom if you recall, they are a force to be reckoned with an not necessarily pro-federal government. Biden there today as well, I've heard. NYPD is well-equipped with the big .50 cal sniper rifles and able to use them from choppers.
Not to be confused with the infamous .30 caliber magazine clip ghost guns
I don't live in NYC. Passed on a promotion to NYC.
Can you guess why?
Anyway, I've got popcorn.
Time for the Federal Government to implement a National Police force headed by the DHS and simultaneously, quarantine all dissenters operating within local law enforcement agencies (that's the ultimate goal of all ongoing PSYOPs). This nation needs to be under permanent Martial Law, period.
what good, what free thoughts, what creativity, has ever come out of a person wearing a uniform?
feels good in that nice warm reality of your imagination does it not...lol.....wakey wakey.....time to go outside...where other human beings are...and cope....with interacting and socializing....or not in your case....lol
and likely your mum whore the requisite garb of the lady of the night?
NYPD is the 7th largest army in the world
Considering the socialist POS won't resign, the next step is a recall election in NYC...
Cops of NY, defenders of JPM and Wall St., the nation turns it back on you.
Have you ever seen the uniforms on the girls at the Tilted Kilt restaurants?
I prefer the all-nude BYOB places more
(o Y o)
Re. No good ever from a uniform? .... Bobby Orr? Phil Esposito? Don Cherry, Stan Johnathon? Wayne Cashman? Johnny "Pie" Mackenzie? Mike Millbury? Those guys were great.
uniform with a badge.
Read "The Meditations of Marcu Aurelius."
The Federal government can't even keep intuders out of the White House. You really don't want the government involved in even more than they already are.
Agreed, just want to say, I think the WH intruder events are part of the procedure to manage Obummer.
I know...completely from the Hitler playbook.
Pen laser pointers can take down a jet airliner.

Or 1,000 of these
WOW,,, and the police say their outgunned...

Edit: Your dead and never hear the shot!
Only if the guy shooting it is trained well enough. We're talking NYPD here.
(In all seriousness, they probably have have less than a handful of snipers trained to use this correctly.)
Rifle? LOL. Sheriff Joe has a 50 cal machine gun!
And the police unions in Phoenix just got the chief of police fired. Welcome to your Gestapo. Have any objections?
Yup.
http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/bastard/2010/07/joe_arpaio_heads_to_gil...
I would like to be able to learn how to fire one, at $5,50 a round.
not happening.
one must critically consider the source.
And what would the purpose be?
We are talking about NYPD here and you are late to the conversation.
let me put it in terms you understand:
UR N Id iot.
an wil B 4 evr
They are nit shooting .50 caliber weapons from helicopters...trust me.
Their allegiance is to the union and their pensions. Just like the US Military oath to their pension,.
Even worse if the wing for a wing justice continues.

Not nearly as bad as the garbage dudes striking again. I mean, you can shoot bad guys, hard to kill garbage.
Amen, brother. It's just exciting to watch this gang on gang action, it's like a Battle Royale at the Garden.
I thought these were the garbage dudes.
That's when the penny drops, and you realise en masse that infrastructue services might just be far more important that a heavily armed bully-boy "Police" force.
Want to stop America dead in its tracks? Bugger up the creaking and poorly-maintained key infrastructure services - electricity, waste water, and fresh water supply.
Understanding how it all works - just buggering up the electricity supply will do the job nicely for ALL other sevices . . . .
wow.
Some how you are going to save the cities( yourself) with that late post?
Then it's time for Robocop
Come contract talk time theyll all forget anything ever happened...Then after he bankrupts the city with massive pay increases and more outrageous bennies for them, theyll all go back to being good little "revenue" officers..

$90k salary (not including OT) and 27 vacation days after 5 years....god bless america...fuck the taxpayer
It would be cheaper to fire the cops, and close the PD. With the money saved, give every resident a gun.
The minority of the cops are white...
And? Are you saying because the majority of cops are white that thy are racist?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Police_Department#Demographics
53% white total.
47% white patrol.
some places- even less than a minority...
(if only the guy had been wearing a Santa suit...)
White man seen driving Ghana’s police van
The police administration is investigating a case in which a white man was seen driving a police van on the eve of Christmas.
An eyewitness sighted the white man driving the police van with registration number GP 3836 around Dansoman in Accra and blaring the sirens at 9:30pm.
“I was in a car with my family and we were coming from the Sahara side of Dansoman heading towards first stop. When we got to the roundabout, I saw the police car being driven by a middle-aged white man. There was an occupant in the passenger seat and another at the back of the van. We followed it and when we got to the roundabout it negotiated and headed towards the Dansoman Keep fit. I was trying to follow up and get some pictures, but it sped off. I took the number,” he narrated.
The Police Service has confirmed receiving information on the incident and has promised to begin investigations into it as soon as possible.
DSP Cephas Arthur, who is with the Public Affairs Department of the service, told JOY NEWS they will track down and take punitive measures against personnel found culpable. To the best of his knowledge, no white man of that description is within the Service and would be an aberration for a non-Ghanaian to be seen driving a police vehicle. “So it is easy to track down whoever has committed any offence at whatever point in time. I am going to pursue it seriously, take it up with the authorities and try to see whoever is responsible for this. If it turns out to be that there was a white man driving a police vehicle and such a white man is not a Ghana Police officer… [disciplinary measures will be taken].
Go to the rooftop and flash them. Hold your pecker like a machine gun. Make sure your video is on live feed so we can see their response in real time. Thanks in advance.
Yes!
Can you live-stream it for us??
BTW, this little arial show brought to you by the gouged NY taxpayer
Your tax money at work or being stolen.
What a joke. DeBlasio and the city workers are parasites on the backs of taxpayers just like the union boys in blue.
If NYC had concealed carry then half of those cops would not be needed. 35,000 cops for the city? Some states do not have that many cops.
Most (not some) states probably won't. NYC has a larger population than 38 states in the country.
site would not let me give you an up , Irene.
Police unions are showing their true intentions, you threaten their $200,000 bulldhit corrupt salaries and pensions, and they will turn their backs on YOU the public!!!
They are the front line apparatus of the police state and the socialist Keynesian economic system and order, if you think they are there to protect and serve " the people", your a fucking clueless idiot, stooge of the charade!
$200k for union officials? So what? In NYC that's peanuts compared to, say, what criminal bankers make. And at least they're standing up for the rank and file today against de Blasio and his dear friend Al Sharpton, etc.
You probably don't remember the good old days when NYC had 3,000 deaths per years due to violent crime. That's about 10 a day. The streets were savage and life could be seriously unpleasant. Children were being sprayed by drug gangs with bullets while they were in their bedrooms sleeping or playing. Heartbreaking headlines were common. 6 dead. 8 dead. That was the rule - ever single day - not the exception.
NYC is now one of the safest cities in the world with only about 300 violent deaths per year. I don't begrude the NYC police or their union one penny, and neither should you. But then, I live here and am not speaking out of my a**.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Enjoy the safety of your prison.
Get real. Every village, town and city in the US has cops in one form or another. Nobody likes the militarization of the police in the US, but it's happening everywhere, not just NYC.
I've been in NYC my entire adult life. So, it's hardly "temporary safety" we're talking about here. And I'd rather deal with a member of the NYPD than the ones I've dealt with in Florida and other places around the country.
We've lost our essential liberties mostly due to the feds and politicos, so you can stop blaming the guys and gals in blue.
The guys and gals in blue are the enforcers for the politicos. Without the cops, the politicos would be powerless to implement their un Constitutional power grabs.
The cops are the enforcers of the elite. The funny thing is that now the elite are throwing the cops out like so much trash. The cops have spent decades enabling the people that are now spitting in their face.
And what do they do? Nothing. They lick the hand that slaps them.
The fact that you have spent your entire adult life in New York is obvious. Enjoy living in a place where others have decided that you can't carry a pistol and that it's illegal to sell one of your smokes to another man because they know better than you.
Yer high, buddy.
You are not digesting a 'merica without them very well.
Check back in with me when your socialist ponzi scheme collapses in a pile of Keynesian shit, it was safe on the streets of Berlin 1935 too or Moscow 1965, enjoy your NYC delusion, 3000 deaths a year will feel like paradise when this Kenyesian fantasy implodes!!!
MY socialist ponzi scheme? *sigh*
So you DONT believe you live in a "socialist ponzi scheme"?????
That's the fucking sigh!!!
But if your self inflated education could stop long enough to type in the words "Ponzi scheme" AND "socialism" to your techie device and read the definitions out loud, then stare in the fucking mirror long enough to be honest with yourself about the society you CURRENTLY live in NYC and beyond, CA too, you wouldnt be able to fucking deny it!!!
You are living in 100% the definition of "socialist Ponzi scheme", and yet you can't fucking see it, the Nazis would plush at their amateur abilities compared to today's Anerican Propaganda machine!!
Enjoy your reruns of Sex in the City while it lasts!
Chicks dig socialism.
Damn double post!
Irene, crime in NYC has gone down since the 1970s due to:
1. demographics (the country's population has gotten much older; old people are rarely violent)
2. poor people have been pushed out of NYC by yuppies and wealthy foreigners
3. lead abatement
4. widespread, common abortion of their infants by women whose infants are statistically more likely to commit crimes when they become teens (BTW I think abortion is terrible even so)
5. "cycles" in addiction; these waves and trends exist independent of policing; remember crack?
6. greatly increased incarceration rates; due to the work of cops but not ultimately any extra effort on their part
7. finally, possibly some changes in policing.
Demographics are everything in crime. NYC has not changed due to the police; it has changed due to demographics. I remember NYC of the 1970s; it was all young people.
the impact of lead abatement in the matter of violent crime reduction can not be overstated.
I don't even see it as childish behavior, more like, Congressional behavior. It shows me that they consider themselves as a different class.
FFS, you don't have to like the mayor to do your fucking jobs...
Good point. We had to bailout GM because the linemen didn’t like the CEO.
You refer to one of the UAW bailouts presumably?
Mayor hasn't made their jobs any easier only worse to skim political points.
He will have to resign at some point.
Aside from the present issues, he does not seem like the caliber NYC needs to run such a massive diverse chaotic city.
"they consider themselves as a different class"
True dat...they seem to mirror the entitlement society around them, only literally, on steroids.
I saw that picture and asked myself, "Are we 3rd world yet?"
the centurions are upset
Do you know how much OT these guys collect on all the various 'terrorism' postings? e.g. standing around on 5th Ave and elsewhere? The outright contempt NYCPD holds for anyone that DARES protest or question anything is astounding. Hell, the Bronx DA was - quite legitimately - prosecuting cops for ticket fixing and more (like leaking the investigation) which they seem to view as some kind of 'right' for friends and family and he got hell from them. One NYC cop - drunk on his ass - shot up a car for absolutely no reason - and hit the two people inside - just over the line in Westchester after spending the evening in a bar and you should have seen the kid gloves he was handled with. Not even charged with DUI until much later in the process. Every NYC cop I've known has pulled out the badge every time he could whenever he could if it benefitted him. Just don't EVER complain publicly.
And who is surprised by this??????
There a fucking mafia, everyone with a God damn lick a sense knows it, this is what big government and public disarming will get you every fucking time, every fuckibg place in the world including and especially NYC!!
But Americans are just so god damn special and exceptional, that it won't happen here, right?? Wake up sheep, it's already happened and you were too busy fucking off with your entitled life, to see it! (And for the record, I'm including myself in this condemnation, the only difference is, I've awaken enough to realize it and be able to admit it)
You socialist democrats and RINO Republicans are still snoring away in a pleasant delusion!
When did they stop doing their jobs? What part of their jobs includes looking at the mayor when he gives speeches or walks by? I see nothing wrong with what they're doing. It's their right, whether you agree with them or not.
So is it now our right as citizens to wade in amongst THEM with tasers and batons and beat the crap out of them for their acts of protest and civil disobedience?
Two levels of justice...
From a report of NYPD protests back in '92 against then mayor Dinkins (Rudy was on deck)....
"While about 6,000 officers participated in a peaceful rally on Murray Street, more than 4,000 swarmed over police barricades, blocked the entry to City Hall and later marched onto the Brooklyn Bridge, where they tied up traffic for nearly an hour. Neither the leadership of the P.B.A. nor senior officers of the department were able to control them.
In a telling moment, Chief David W. Scott, the highest ranking uniformed officer in the department, was booed down by the crowd when he implored the officers to move off the steps of City Hall. "I'm disappointed in the fact that police officers would violate the law," Chief Scott said later.
sun tzu, you're not wrong, it is their right. The way I see it, with rights come responsibilities. If they want to continue with their pissing contest, that's their right too. Continue opening the divide.
!!!
They cannot get back Citizens' Respect until they do some Reforming of their own.
As if the divide isn't there already...
I agree lots of cops have an attitude problem and we need to go back to the friendlier negihborhood beat cop instead of guys in body armor barking orders at regular joe citizens. This is a pissing contest between the mayor and the cops. The mayor did throw fuel on the fire and two cops are dead. Can any of us say for sure those two cops were corrupt and abusive and deserved to die? I have no problem with putting dirty and abusive cops in prison with the rest of the criminals. When open season is seen as okay for one group, your group might be next.
The two slain cops is a horrible event,,, too bad they don't consider it the same when citizens are killed, some by the very hands of our serve and protect mafia. (I don't know what else to call them these days) The "Don't Insult my Sacrifice" waiver points to the mind set that they are gods sacrificing themselves for the greater good. One has to wonder where the lowly law abiding citizen who funds them exactly fits in.
This. Until the pigs gather round the dead citizen in equal numbers, fuck them all.
You know how fascists came to power in Italy and Germany prior to WW2 and what was one of their campaign messages? They promised the public and property owners to get rid of labor unions. Even before Mussolini black shirt brigades were going around with bats, beating up union leaders and press representatives standing by their side. Communism, socialism and bolshevism were considered to be the biggest to nation state at the time. Both, Churchill and many US congressional speakers at the time praised both Mussolini and Hitler for their tactics. Investment into fascist Germany on behalf of 5 biggest US corporations peaked in the 30's. Why? Because people were fed up with union crap. People were starving and wanted to work, while other members of society perceived themselves as the guilded class, refusing to work and denying work to others. So fascists and general public drove the unions out, that brought down the cost of labor and ensured investment inflow out of other countries. That, in turn, helped build the Nazi war machine.
Flesh it out, you would have a pretty good essay there.
I do wonder when the divide came, when the Union meme became bad vs. advisorial.
Ford perhaps:

A thing to mention with regards to UAW union. Private sector unions aren't quite like the public sector. UAW demands and expectations are largely responsible for for driving the auto industry out of this country to places where labour is cheap. Private sector unions always risk either destroying the host or having it migrate elsewhere. Then they pay for the greed. Public sector unions are whole other matter.
Just like NYC cops, they actively participate in the political process. They have to power to get politicians in and out of office. They themselves don't go anywhere. They pillage the tax coffers for every cent there is. They rule through fear and intimidation, and since cops, unlike water, garbage, fire, teachers and other unions, actually contribute to the inflow of capital through charges and fines, they have both feet on the money hose. They're people who collect their own income and that gives them much more power and leverage.

Great propaganda line there. There are a few bad cops and there always will be...normal distribution curve says so (like with anything else involving people). The majority of LEA's are good and dedicated people who are suffering from an agenda driven by politics and distributed by MSM. Its a tragedy that a young man was killed in Ferguson, but had he not resisted arrest and attacked a cop he would probably still be alive - maybe in jail though, for strong arm robbery. Likewise in New York, its very sad that a man died because he was being arrested for selling singular cigarettes, but he too resisted arrest and suffered a heart attack as two much smaller officers tried to arrest his 400 lb. person. I wish in both cases the police had tasers so that these young men would still be alive. In the end however its a lesson that parents need to teach their kids to obey law officers. In both of the previous cases if the men had complied with the LEA's they would be alive and if their cases proved to be harrasment they would be able to file legitimate complaints. Here is a case in point: my brother lives in what most would consider a nice, safe neighborhood. He has a 10 year old son that loves playing with toy guns (like most 10 year olds). He has told his son over and over to never take the toy guns out of the back yard because if a police officer came by and saw them the officer might mstake them for real guns and the outcome could be very bad. This is not all on the cops, a great deal of it is on how the unfortutnate young men reacted to police and some very bad luck.
Taser would have killed that 'heart attack waiting to happen' just as dead.
What a bunch of drivel. When you get rewarded with paid time off for every citizen shoot, do you expect anything less than thugcops with itchy trigger-fingers? When the risk of being prosecuted for a felony following a cop killing a citizen is near zero, do you expect anything other than sociopaths being attracted to the police force? What psychological testing do policemen face to weed out sociopaths?
In the end however its a lesson that parents need to teach their kids to obey law officers.
You need to also obey banksters and politicians like a good boy. I bet you watch TV like a good little serf.
I do not dislike cops but the guy was selling loose cigarettes and they made it into the f***king French Connection or the arrest of Pablo Escobar.
Freddie
lay off the alcohol.
Freddie isn't drunk, he's telling the truth. Interesting that you choose to make ungrounded personal attacks rather than respond to his point. It shows that you have nothing of substance to respond with.
BTW, if I have ten cigarrettes and you want to buy one from me, why in The Land of The Free should it be a crime for me to sell my personal property to you?
If we lived in a sane country, both Garner and the two cops would still be alive.
The guy was resisting arrest.
After 32 times, not counting his juvinal record, he must has had some clue to the drill.
I doubt that you know this.
http://web.law.columbia.edu/social-justice/forum-on-police-accountabilit...
Ah...... social justice, define it for me would you?
No?
I am really looking for some definition to work with.
Anybody?
crickets.
Social justice is a term coined by liberals such as yourself. There is no "social justice" just as there is no "racial justice" or "economic justice".
There is simply "justice". This means the laws are applied equally to all.
It's a simple concept.
The fact that justice is not applied equally is a reflection on the failure of the American people to be a moral, educated and righteous people.
There is no need to invent new words to advance your agenda. Any questions dipshit?
Just hold bad cops accountable!! I am tired of the excuses. Google the image of Kelley Thomas the guy the cops in Fullerton CA beat to death. They can flip burgers at McDonalds if the job is so stressfull it drives them to ultraviolence.
This was a white male who was beaten to death, so there was only a one time peaceful demonstration in protest of the aquittals, there was local media coverage, probably just a passing mention nationally.
De Blasio is a Bolshevik Fidelista Sandinsta swine. We don't like him here in NYC. The cops are only pointing this out on the behalf of the citizenry.
That ain't the cops' job....
Govt union workers job is to maximize their pension.
"De Blasio is a Bolshevik Fidelista Sandinsta swine. We don't like him here in NYC. The cops are only pointing this out on the behalf of the citizenry."
Interesting given that you people elected him. I find your contention that the cops do anything on behalf of the citizenry to be laughable.
!0% of the voter turnout gives you a 70 % mandate?
rob the poor and keep it for yourself there. robin' hood.
Perhaps people should have turned out to vote against him. Or is that simple concept to complex for you to grasp? People get the government they deserve, and the people of New York are getting exactly what they deserve.
cleaning ranks of WHO exactly?
The AMA should clean up the Ranks of Bankers, Lawyers & Politicians that trash the highest law of the land and take bribes from Lobbyist, Foreign Agents, and Campaign Contributors...
But Debt and Money go hand in hand with Moral Hazard... and as you can see you loss all your whistleblowers & free Press as well.
Mayor de Blasio needs to resign.
Thug behavior by the NYPD is nothing new, but thanks to former PC Ray Kelly, these gangbangers in blue feel they are above the law. Where else are these guys going to get jobs that pay a patrol officer $100,000 a year (after overtime) for a glorified watchman job with a ticket and arrest quota? That salary doesn't include the payoffs for looking the other way as dope mules from the Sinaloa cartel flood the city with heroin and ecstasy. Whatever Dave Letterman says, New York City is now a cesspool of corruption where real estate developers and crooked politicians rule. The 343 firefighters murdered on 9/11 by the CIA's best (on Bush's orders) are a distant memory.
Thought experiment: New Yorkers en masse and with their 160-1 advantage, turn, and beat the crap out of all the NY Blue gang (see how they like it), to remind them who's in charge.
A nightmare, or was it a dream?
And after they're done beating up the cops, you think they're done? I think that's what you imbeciles don't seem to understand.
Just get a bullhorn and a .308.
Or perhaps harsh language.
One of my best experiences driving through nyc shithole from Boston to Richmond burns in my brain. A black female cop was directing about every fifth or sixth car to turn left…however as soon as you turned left, half way down the block were two black cops pulling cars over for “improper turning” and writing a $150 tickets.
Gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling contributing to their pension plans --- NOT !
Thank you Alex Jones for your wise and original comments.
The next interaction I have with the police, which inevitably include the officer saying something I don't like, I going to turn my back to them, and refuse to listen.
How do you think that will turn out?
These fucking criminals demand respect and kill if they don't get it.
I don't know what the solutions are to the currrent problems, however what is happening now is not the answer...It's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets any better.
Multi issues and the union will not make it better. Years ago I worked for emergency services and use to refer to police like the game a barrel of monkeys...different colors but all the same shape. All I thought had the same mindset greater than thou. I learned a tough lesson as I found out it wasn't so and some where actually very good people..they might not be the majority but are there. Officer Ramos could have been one in the minority as it appears his goal was to be a chaplin and was to graduate the day he lost his life.
The solution is to outlaw police unions.
Cops' primary loyalty is to their union which represents them as a clan, a tribe apart, a gang and an armed mob. This is very harmful. Do we want to be policed by armed goons who do not answer to the public good first and foremost?
It is a very scary thing when you see massed ranks of armed men acting in unison like this. What do you think would happen to any cops who don't go along with the group, who don't turn their backs because they personally don't think it's right?
We've allowed the police to become occupying armies in our big cities rather than a civilian controlled police force tha enforces our laws and protects us. And these occupying armies are controlled by the police unions.
Bleat.
Where are the tanks? The COPS surrounding the Mayor’s Mansion with the tanks would get attention.
FIG JAM
I am no fan of Unions, having been pushed around and been a member of the backstabbing UAW in the manufacturing and construction trades for more than 30 years.
This is the first time that I have ever seen that the solidarity of a union has a legitimate beef.
Let them have their say.
Christ on the Cross, the OWS smut got more respect with ill defined mantras such as:
Da 1% ers
Da Bankers
Da Jooos
Da cops
Da oppression
and fill in your own blank.
The NYPD are showing a Peaceful and Poignant and obviously headline demonstration that most bussed in whining arsonists at 'protests' can only dream of having.ald
I don't know what the solutions are to the currrent problems, however what is happening now is not the answer...It's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets any better.
I agree.
When will Thousands of people turn their backs on NYC Police?
They can't. They will get thrown in jail if they engage in the behavior that the honorable, unionized cops engage in.
Some animals are more equal than others.
Seems like the thin blue line is wising up to the plans that the NWO and especially the Demorats have in store for them.
You know - I think it´s going to be more problematic for the Blasios of this world than they have expected. When something untowards happens it alway ends and begins with with police and bodyguards and such.
The ensuing investigation will never go anywhere based on simplistic statements such as " we just went för doe-nuts - who woulda have thunk there was an armed nutjob around" - or when that limo drove around without the bubble top and when the shooting started just made a stop to see what was going on....? Jeez ain´´t it strange...?
The thin blue line is part of the NWO. This is an internal battle for power between statists.
It is very important to remember ... if two groups are fighting, it may not be in your interest to support either side. Don't sucumb to the "enemy of my enemy" fallacy.
Yes but what I´m saying is that even the thin blue line may start taking exception to being fed peacemeal to feral dogs. Beaing eaten alive hurts - you know. Besides the feeling of being betrayed it does antagonize you being chewed up.
i hope the entire NYPD just goes on strike. Let these "peacefull protesters" protect, let's see how de belasio's kid comes out of that fair justice.
let De fuck head Blasio do a ride along in Harlem, he might learn something he didn't read.
Bad example. Harlem gentrification is almost complete.
Fucking class act.
when they start turning their backs on blankfein and dimon that will be progress
But they paid their fines and finance the Police Widows and Orphans Fund...so what's the big deal...
while they rob their pension fund
Too little and too late (maybe they´ll just look the other way at that crucial moment).
Wonder why the WH has seen a slew of crazy and armed visitors lately. Maybe someone felt that they liked their do-nut better than starting some frenzied search.
They held DSK for ransom, if you recall.
That wont happen. Cops are apparently heavily addictied to the semen of politicians and banksters. More so banksters than politicians though. Maybe them turning their backs on the mayor is a sign that they want to take the relationship to the next level? All I know is, when the cops start protesting, its or duty as citizens to shoot them with tear gas, taser them and beat them into compliance.
Pigs turn their back on a rat.
Sure would be nice if these cops would just turn their backs on a teenage black or latino kid walking down the street instead of getting in their face and frisking em for no good reason.
If I was de blasio I would immediately launch a massive special investigation into NYPD corruption. Fuck these whining babies. They can't take any criticism without making threats.
My understanding is that the underlying cause is a pay rise dispute.
heh
Hit 'em with their own tactics. Plant some evidence, beat the fuck out of em, and let the judge send 'em to shower-sissy school.
Yeah right. de Blasio likes taking risks.
This is beautiful.
Why don't they just take him down, pepper spray him, hog tie him, then choke him?
The boys in blue turned their backs on us citizens long ago... just a matter of time to see the power struggle increase between them and their civilian paymasters. Like the CIA they're somewhat self supporting in thier drug dealings and citizen confiscation schemes.
