He had a talk with his son. [View all]

Mayor Bill de Blasio loves his son. Most men do and they want to keep them safe. As a small child they want them to feel safe from the boogie man under their small beds to the monster that lives in their closet. Young children have their fears. We all did.

Never as a child would they believe they once again as an adult had to live in fear. Never would they have thought they would need to look over their shoulder in fear. Walk right, talk right, no sudden moves, lower your eyes and act humble. Do not reach into your pocket for you cell phone, do not touch your waistband, those seem to strike terror in our peace officers, if that is so that makes me believe they are completely unqualified for their job.





We had a funeral the other day for a peace officer, a person of color. Officer Ramos. The NYPD showed their disrespect for him by turning their collective backs on the Mayor. They showed their collective disrespect for a man that was chocked to death, Eric Garner. They mocked him with their contempt. They mocked his last words. Seventeen times he said "I can't breathe"! What did our peace officers do, the ones that swear to serve and protect?

EF! The NYPD. You are ugly simple minded people, you wear your hate like a badge. Oh wait, you wear that badge on your chest. Sadly you dishonor it.
