Currently, police are refusing leadership while using a prescribed legal methodology to openly kill unarmed citizens.

Mayor de Blasio (click here) gave the cops who turned their backs on him a good smack Monday.
Speaking for the first time about the public dissing he endured at the funerals of hero cops Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, de Blasio said “they were disrespectful to the families involved.”
“I can't understand why anyone would do such a thing in the context like that,” an angry de Blasio said. “And I think it defies a lot of what we all feel is the right and decent thing to do.”
“I also think they were disrespectful to the people of this city, who in fact honor the work of the NYPD,” he added....
When I express loss to families or a country for any of citizens it is with the understanding I under their pain. I stand in recognition of their will at the funeral of their loved ones. I don't put my priorities first.
These officers were especially precious in that they were minorities. Their cultural diversity came out in their funeral services. They were the people we have so long wanted to be a part of public infrastructure to bring their insight and their abilities to bring about solutions. The loss of both of these men is profound beyond that of their families.
I thought the country had it's fill of funeral demonstrators, but, it would seem not.
Mayor DeBlasio jumped to assist the families of these men by increasing their rank when it was first learned of their heinous deaths. The state legislature has appropriated millions of dollars to outfit police cruisers with bullet proof glass. These deaths were profoundly felt and people came together to honor them by learning from this event.
It is unfortunate there was only insight after the fact not as a precaution before the deaths occurred. The missed opportunity to save lives occurs before the tragedy, not afterward.
