I feel like so many have missed the point.

Yes, it was disrespectful to not only the Mayor (which was the point) but it was disrespectful to the family. It took the focus off the funeral. The biggest discussion about the funeral is now that the cops, who supposedly came to honor one of their fallen brothers, turned their backs. No discussion, or very little, about Officer Ramos or his family.

But the biggest thing is why they turned their backs. Because they are blaming someone that is blameless in the murder of these two officers. IMHO, it is wrong, stupid, propaganda, a fucking commercial for the cops and beyond disrespectful to the Ramos family
