National Fraternal Order of Police Asks for Cop Killings to be Included in Federal Hate Crimes Law

WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU CALL AN AMBUSH MURDER OF POLICE BUT A HATE CRIME … “They Take 1 Of Ours .?.?. Let’s Take 2 of Theirs”

The National Fraternal Order of Police is asking for the Congressional hate crimes statute to be expanded to include crimes against police officers. If we do have a federal hate crime statute, then it might as well be written to include the murder of police officers. According to FBI statistics, about 21.7% of non-accidental law enforcement deaths since 2004 were ambush attacks. My personal belief is that murder is murder and it is hard to say that some one should be punished more for a hate crime than committing a murder in the commission of any crime. What is to say what is in one’s mind when they commit murder, usually all no good. However, I do believe that the murder of a police officer should be prosecuted and punished in a much different and extreme measures so to deter any thought of sicko punks and thugs that would ever consider murdering a police officer. You take the life of a police officer, yours will be taken as well.

In the wake of the murder of two New York City police officers and a national debate about policing, the National Fraternal Order of Police is asking for the Congressional hate crimes statute to be expanded to include crimes against police officers. The union has more than 300,000 members.

Violence against police officers that is motivated by anti-police bias should be prosecuted as a hate crime, the nation’s largest police union is arguing in a letter to President Barack Obama and Congressional leaders this week.

“Right now, it’s a hate crime if you attack someone solely because of the color of their skin, but it ought to be a hate crime if you attack someone solely because of the color of their uniform as well,” said Jim Pasco, the executive director of the National Fraternal Order of Police.

“Enough is enough! It’s time for Congress to do something to protect the men and women who protect us,” Chuck Canterbury, the president of the union, said in a statement Monday. The group has long lobbied for harsher punishment for those who harm law enforcement officers.

Bill O’Reilly Says NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is ‘Spitting in the Face’ of NYPD and Needs to Go Now”

Bill O’Reilly on the Factor could not have said it any better with regards to the riff between the NYPD officers and progressive, liberal NYC Mayor Bill de Blazio. O’Reilly blasted de Blasio’s actions and applauded the police officers turning of their back on the mayor in disrespect.  O’Reilly said, “there comes a point in time where ideology becomes so damaging to society that it has to be stopped. Mayor de Blasio is as left-wing as they come.”

OReilly says de Blasio has reached the point of no return, HE MUST GO!!!

But O’Reilly was especially angry with NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio for speaking of “injustice among his own police officers” and essentially “spitting in the face of his own police department.” O’Reilly had absolutely no problem with cops turning their backs to de Blasio at a funeral for one of their own, because they had no call to directly show the mayor any respect at the service.

“As always, the city of New York and the NYPD will be with them through this challenge and as these officers recover,” de Blasio said.

Police Officers Turn Their Backs on Mayor de Blasio Again … This Time at the Funeral of NYPD Officer Wenjian Liu (VIDEO)

As Yogi Berra used to say, “It’s like deja-vu, all over again.”

Despite requests and the memo sent to the NYPD by Commissioner Bratten not to turn their backs this weekend on NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, today at the funeral of NYPD officer Wenjian Liu, police officers by the thousands ignored the request and once again turned their backs on NYC Mayor de Blasio.

Thousands of police turned their backs Sunday as Mayor Bill de Blasio eulogized an officer shot dead with his partner, repeating a stinging display of scorn for the mayor despite entreaties to put anger aside.

The show of disrespect came outside the funeral home where Officer Wenjian Liu was remembered as an incarnation of the American dream: a man who had emigrated from China at age 12 and devoted himself to helping others in his adopted country. The gesture among officers watching the mayor’s speech on a screen added to tensions between the mayor and rank-and-file police even as he sought to quiet them.

Sorry, but the police officers have every right to turn their backs in disrespect to the mayor. It was de Blasio who started this and continues to take the side of others against the NYPD. To get respect you must be worthy of respect and de Blasio is not. The police are supposed to be vilified by punks and the NYC mayor and in turn are supposed to just stand there and take it? Sorry police commissioner Bratton, it does not work that way and you know it.

Check out all of the police officers with their backs turned to the monitor of Mayor de Blasio speaking in the background.

Thousands of Police Officers Pay Their Respect Today at Funeral for 32 Year Old NYPD Officer Wenjian Liu (Update: Tearful & Amazing Tribute by the Widow of Slain Officer) (VIDEO)

For the second time in a week, a Sea of Blue gathers in Brooklyn, NY for the funeral of police officer Wenjian Liu.

Tens of thousands of police officers from across the United States to attend the funeral of slain NYPD officer Wenjian Liu. They came to the Brooklyn funeral home to honor Wenjian Liu, who is believed to be the New York Police Department’s first Chinese-American officer killed in the line of duty.

Wenjian Li, Rest in Peace

Thousands of police officers are paying their respect to a New York Police Department officer shot to death along with his partner as mourners converge from around the country Sunday for a second funeral that stands to test tensions between the city’s mayor and police.

Buddhist monks will lead a Chinese ceremony for Officer Wenjian Liu, followed by a traditional police ceremony with eulogies led by a chaplain. Liu, 32, had served as a policeman for seven years and was married just two months when he was killed with his partner, Officer Rafael Ramos, on Dec. 20.

Officer Lucas Grant of the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office in Augusta, Georgia, said he came to Liu’s funeral with about six other officers from neighboring departments “to support our family.”

“When one of us loses our lives, we have to come together,” Grant said.

As Liu’s family arrived for his funeral, Police Commissioner William Bratton tweeted: “We will never forget his sacrifice.”

For a Second Time, Police Officers Gather for the Funeral of an Officer Killed in an Ambush.

Scores of officers in pressed blue uniforms — among thousands crowded in the rain outside the funeral of one of their own — turned their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio as he delivered a eulogy on Sunday praising the slain officer as an example of a “brave” and “kind” New Yorker who came to the city from China and followed a dream to join the Police Department.

The show of disrespect, which included both New York City officers and those who joined them in mourning from around the country, mirrored a similar display just over a week before at the funeral of Officer Rafael Ramos, in Queens. In the wet streets of southern Brooklyn on Sunday morning, many turned again from their somber ranks at the funeral of his partner, Officer Wenjian Liu.

The silent protest came despite a request on Friday from the police commissioner, William J. Bratton, that officers leave their recent grievances with the mayor out of the sober ceremony on Sunday.

“This city welcomed detective Liu,” the mayor said in his remarks. “New York stands a little taller today because of the time he walked among us.”

Pei Xia Chen, Det. Wenjian Liu’s widow, gave a passionate, tearful, beautiful tribute to her husband, calls NYPD her extended family, her “family in blue.” She thanked those that traveled from near and far to pay respects to her husband.  Pei Xia Chen said that Wenjian Liu was her soul mate and her best friend, but was much, much more. She also said that she was his number one fan. All anyone needs to do is watch the video below to understand Wenjian Liu was an amazing man and what a great man and hero that he was. May Wenjian Liu rest in eternal peace.
