In reply to the discussion: He has NOTHING to apologize for, NO ONE to apologize to ... this is a good man [View all]Cha
(297,237 posts)45. Selling cigs isn't an excuse for a cop to kill someone. The police want others to respect their
authority but they act like prepubescent bullies at the funeral for Raphael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. Disrespecting them by politicizing their funeral. They show no respect but want everyone to bow down to them.
Mayor De Blasio told the truth.. the NYPD can't handle the truth.

There has been no polling on de Blasio but he likely took a hit, but i doubt it will last.

DeBlasio is not a badge sniffer who thinks it's okay for cops to kill black men willy nilly.
