NYC Mayor De Blasio Booed and Called “Traitor” at Police Graduation Ceremony at MSG (VIDEO)

MAYOR DE BLASIO HAS NO STREET CRED WITH POLICE … THIS MAN HAS NO SHAME …

Sorry, but New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio’s words ring terribly hollow as he speaks while attending the graduation ceremony of 884 officers at Madison Square Garden. As De Blasio praised the graduating class, some in the audience booed the mayor and one even called him a traitor. His words seem to be in direct conflict to those he previously made. De Blasio blamed police, threw them under the racism bus. The mayor combined racism and the police together. He took the side of the protester, not the police. Now he looks to praise the police.

Hizzoner was jeered by a few spectators as he took the podium, and some turned their backs in a protest similar to those he has faced since the murders of two NYPD cops in their squad car.

The boos also came with a few cries of “traitor” and heckling during his brief remarks.

“Let’s be honest about the realities of our society. You will confront all the problems that plague our society — problems that you didn’t create,” de Blasio said.

“You did!” someone then yelled, prompting laughter and applause.

De Blasio hardly sounds like he supported the police when he surrounded himself with the black community and no police officers blaming a history of racism in the wake of the grand juries decision not to indict police officers in the death of Eric Garner. De Blasio mentioned that he had to have that talk with his son about the dangers he may face, that the police are evil. Because of the history that hangs over blacks. Hmm, fire up the bus. UNREAL. I wonder if he had the speech with his son that a black man is most likely to be killed by another black male? Of course not.

Ferguson Police Officer Placed on Unpaid Leave After Calling Damaged Michael Brown Memorial a “Pile of Trash” … Media creates own MSM Story

So much for the First amendment when you are a police officer … They will get their pound of flesh no matter who it is.

Ferguson police department spokesman, Officer Timothy Zol, has been placed on unpaid leave after calling the damaged Michael Brown memorial, “a pile of trash.” The memorial for Michael Brown, which resides in the middle of the road near the Canfield Green apartment complex, where Brown was shot and killed by police officer Darren Wilson, was run over by a car. After first stating that he was misquoted, Zoll admitted that he made the statement. For that he was placed on unpaid leave. WOW, UNREAL. I have just one question, what happens if this memorial cause an accident and someone gets injured or killed? Wouldn’t that be ironic. The damn memorial is in the middle of the street, not on the side of it or the sidewalk. How is that even legal?

Most likely the comment, although could have been worded differently, was in reaction to the stupidity of the WAPO to even make this a news worthy issue. With everything else going on in the world that is news, the WAPO wanted to know what the Ferguson police was going to do about a memorial in the middle of the street that was run over by a car. Maybe the officers comment should have been, are you frigging kidding, go report a real story.

Well, at least it is supposed to be …

A Ferguson police spokesman was placed on unpaid leave after acknowledging remarks to a Washington Post blogger in which he called the Michael Brown memorial a “pile of trash,” city officials said Saturday.

One day earlier, the city stood behind the spokesman, Officer Timothy Zoll — claiming he had been misquoted — after an inquiry into the damaged memorial in the middle of Canfield Drive. But officials retreated in a one-page statement issued Saturday.

Zoll was “confronted with the results” of a department investigation into the remarks attributed to him, city officials said.

The officer “admitted to department investigators” that he made the statement attributed to him” and had “misled” superiors about the interview.

The scapegoating by Ferguson PD. Who thinks that Zoll will be fired to appease the black community? A more secure location, You mean like out of the frigging street? Negative remarks do not reflect the Michael Brown memorial. HUH? Who actually thinks fellow police officers think that Michael Brown is a hero that deserves to be memorialized after he attacked and had his way would have harmed a police officer?

“The City of Ferguson wants to emphasize that negative remarks about the Michael Brown memorial do not reflect the feelings of the Ferguson Police Department and are in direct contradiction to the efforts of city officials to relocate the memorial to a more secure location,” the statement reads. The department noted that even after the officer’s initial denial, it “continued the investigation until the truth was discovered.”

Just so that we have the facts correct, let’s get this correct. So Ferguson protesters can call police officers “pigs,”‘ they are allowed to taunt the police, and make death threats against them as well as throw bottles and other objects at them. And of course it was perfectly A-O-K for Ferguson protesters to express their First amendment rights of freedom of speech and chant in Ferguson, Missouri after the ambush shooting deaths of two NYPD officers, “Pig’s in a blanket, smells like bacon.”

But a police officer call the memorial that was run over by a car to a teen who robbed a store, assaulted a store owner, resisted arrest and attacked a police officer threatening to take his gun, a pile of trash is evil. REALLY? Seems like night and day when one compares the two. But only the police are supposed to give in, never the protesters. Hate speech is okay, but not this. How are the police even suppose to do their job when every little thing is going to be examined with a microscope, because one way or another, THEY are going to get a pound of someone’s flesh.

Maybe the police in Ferguson should just go on strike and let the citizens fend for themselves.

Flagstaff officer risked his life for us … routinely.

I could not have said it any better than AZ Central columnist EJ Montini, when it comes to what police officers routinely do in putting themselves into harms way no matter how deadly or not the common person thinks it is.

“Every ‘routine’ call is routine until it’s not,” a police officer told me once. “Which is why you have to assume that every call is not routine. And even then… it might not save you.”

This was decades ago. I was standing in the back parking lot of a convenience store where a Phoenix police officer has been killed after a “routine” confrontation with a shoplifter.

This is what they do for us.

They risk everything each time they pull over a driver for speeding or a broken taillight, not knowing what to expect when they approach the driver’s window. Each time they answer a “routine” call for a shoplifter, an aggressive panhandler, a disorderly drunk, a possible domestic dispute.

Every “routine” call represents their willingness to put their lives on the line.

That’s what they do for us.

As NYC Mayor De Blasio Speaks at Funeral for Fallen NYPD Officer Rafael Ramos, Hundreds of Police Officers Turn Their Backs Outside the Church

100′S OF NYPD OFFICERS TURN THEIR BACKS ON MAYOR DE BLASIO AS HE SPOKE DURING THE FUNERAL …

As new York City Mayor Bill De Blasio gave a rather tepid and some what hollow eulogy during the funeral of murdered NYPD officer Rafael Ramos, hundreds of police officers turned their backs on de Blasio during his comments. Despite a desperate mayor’s, who has screwed up royally and lost the support of the NYPD, pleas to leave politics out of the funeral, hundreds of police showed their disdain for de Blasio. Hundreds of police officers turned their backs on a screen showing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio as he spoke at the funeral of one of two officers killed last week in what has been called an “assassination.”

A note to Mayor di Blasio, respect is not political, it is earned. You don’t get to cry racism and then say, just kidding.

Vice-President Biden Eulogizes NYPD Officer Rafael Ramos … ‘Our Hearts Ache For You’

This morning Vice-President Joseph Biden eulogized NYPD officer Rafael Ramos at the Christ Tabernacle Church in Queens, NY. As 25,000 police officers from New York, across the country and Canada looked on Biden talked of the slain hero police officer and gave thanks to the NYPD stating the following, “This is the finest police department in the world.” Biden would later add, the bullets that targeted the officers also “targeted the city, and (they) touched the soul of an entire nation.”

There are many individuals including President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and NYC Mayor De Blazio better find it in their hearts and heads that what Biden said was so very true.

CNN:

“I’m sure I speak for the whole nation when I say our hearts ache for you,” Biden told the family during the service.

He noted how an expected 25,000 officers were surrounding the church in solemnity and added how they “will stand with you for the rest of your life.

“Its an uncommon fraternity,” Biden said.

Biden referred to how Ramos — known to those close to him as Ralph — was gunned down December 20 along with fellow Officer Wenjian Liu as they sat parked in their patrol car in Brooklyn. The pair were assassinated, according to Bratton, simply because of the uniform they wore.

Today we pay tribute to Officer Ramos and Officer Wenjian Liu,” Biden said.

About police officers, he said: “Thank God for them.”

“Amen,” some in the church said.

“This is the finest police department in the world,” Biden added, drawing applause.

He added that the bullets that targeted the officers also “targeted the city, and (they) touched the soul of an entire nation.”
