NYPD Officers Turn Backs to De Blasio at Police Funeral

The funeral for slain NYPD officer Rafael Ramos was big because it drew police officers from around the country who feel threatened and endangered by the endorsement of the racist Brown/Garner mobs by progressive politicians like Obama and De Blasio.

And for the same reason it attracted high ranking liberal politicians from Governor Andrew Cuomo to Joe Biden looking to wash off some of the blood from their political movement.

While some police officers applauded Commission Bratton, Biden and Cuomo, they weren’t willing to accept belated pandering from the man who had most directly put them in danger.

Officers outside chatted and generally ignored the eulogy until de Blasio began to speak in Spanish, which prompted snickers.

After the funeral, about a hundred police officers, firefighters and others who had stood vigil for Ramos made their way to Teedee’s Tavern, about two blocks from the church.

A firefighter hopped up onto at table, beer in one hand, and a camera in the other, taking pictures of the packed bar.

“Here’s to Ramos! Here’s to the NYPD!” he shouted, to the cheers of those assembled.

“And f- -k deB lasio!” he added, raising a raucous response from the crowd.

A block from the church, though, retired NYPD Officer John Mangan held a sign that read: “God Bless the NYPD. Dump de Blasio.”

The execution of Ramos and Liu as they sat in their patrol car in Brooklyn sparked a tidal wave of anger toward the mayor from the city’s cops, who turned their backs to him as he walked through a hospital corridor last Saturday night after visiting the officers’ grieving families.

Earlier that night, when de Blasio approached a group of NYPD’s Finest and said, “We’re all in this together,” a stone-faced officer replied, “No, we’re not.”

Things got so heated in the weeks leading up to the killings of Ramos and Liu, the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association’s demanded that de Blasio stay away from the funerals of officers cut down in the line of duty — a request the mayor did not oblige.

Here’s some more on what went on from John Cardillo

    Speaking in Spanish? These guys are cops. they speak English even if they are hispanic. It is insulting to speak to them as if they are somehow different, and the hispanic cops aren’t going to suddenly forget that De Blasio helped get one of their fellow hispanics killed just because he spoke Spanish. De Blasio just can’t stop his divisive pandering. Fortunately, everyone can see right through it.

    Isn’t it odd that we aren’t hearing a word from the Left about the need for new gun laws after two cops were assassinated? Obama, Holder, De blasio, and the rest of the anti-gun crowd are curiously silent.

    Racial profiling is another issue we aren’t hearing about, at least not when it is used to demonize white cops. Apparently it is bad for cops to racially profile criminals, but perfectly fine for criminals to use it on white cops.

      Will Blasio speak chinese at Wenjian Liu’s funeral?

      • Michael Garfinkel

        I wouldn’t put it past him; he’s that stupid.

        He might, but he better know the language. A simple mistake in inflection could have him thinking he is praising Liu, but is insulting him instead.

    It’s time to side with the rule of law over the anarchists.

    Warren Wilhelm, Jr. Is simply NYC’s worst mayor. Most readers probably aren’t aware that he was elected with a less than 30% voter turnout last year. Wilhelm is turning NYC into a completely different place in an extremely negative way, probably more negative than the bad old days of the ’70s, ’80s and early ’90s, before NYC made a turnaround beginning in ’94 onward. New Yorkers need to get out and vote for someone else in the 2017 elections.

      On Network News, no photographs were shown of the officers turning their backs, nor was any mention made of this. Orwellian news censorship

    De Blasio is doing the old, marxist “push me, pull you.” Sabotage a relationship, then pretend it is valuable. He doesn’t care about dead cops. He wants as many dead cops as it takes to ensure power, for himself and the Left…necessarily in that order.
