Mayor De Blasio Banned: NY Police Union Bans Mayor From Funerals of Cops Killed On Duty

…”consistent refusal to show police officers the support and respect they deserve”

New York City’s rank-and-file police union is urging its members to ban Mayor Bill de Blasio from their funerals.
The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association posted a link on its website telling members not to let Mayor de Blasio and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito “insult their sacrifice” should they be killed in the line of duty. The waiver states:

“I, as a New York City police officer, request that Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito refrain from attending my funeral services in the event that I am killed in the line of duty. Due to Mayor de Blasio and Speaker Mark-Viverito’s consistent refusal to show police officers the support and respect they deserve, I believe that their attendance at the funeral of a fallen New York City police officer is an insult to that officer’s memory and sacrifice.”

The mayor customarily attends such funerals.
The union’s president has said officers haven’t felt supported in the wake of a chokehold death of an unarmed black man.


Wild Thing’s comment.……
After what communist DeBlasio said about the police I don’t blame them how they feel about him.

I wonder how many cops and their family members voted for this guy?
