NYPD turns its back on Mayor De Blasio

113. you know, I suspected that would be the cop out

This isn't about Fox News. It's about what Ed Mullins said which he would have said on any news station.

Yet you have nothing to say about the actual subject at hand - the officers were not on duty, they have no obligation to act respectfully to the mayor, and they have legitimate grievance in how he's handled the situation by not responding at all to violence and violent rhetoric against the police and has even made divisive comments about them himself - ALL of them. Of course there's going to be bad apples in the department, and of course there should be changes to make things better, but this is causing divisiveness between the community and the police that's not been seen in 40 or so years. How helpful is it to actually CAUSE divisiveness between the community and the police when it's the police that have been doing more to protect lives than anyone else?

Communities that are poor and/or crime riddled want MORE police and not ones that feel like they've had targets painted on them which would only serve to make them slower to respond or worse more trigger happy. NOBODY wants that yet that's where we are, and we got there by the very people who should be standing up and condemning any violence or violent rhetoric not only not doing it but making even worse divisive comments that have done nothing but encourage violence.

If you'd actually listened to find out what the grievances are instead of poo-pooing that it was said on Fox News none of this would require explanation.
