You know, if they are offended by it, too bad, Dad.
I am offended by the signs and crap the scumbags in NYS are carrying.

As Rush Limbaugh once told a caller, "I do not care if your are offended by what I say. I am not here to please you."

Words to live by.
That last sentence would be appropriate on Rush's headstone.

Oh, I realize that.
I just don't understand why so many people feel the need to.

Ten thousand cops in one place for a funeral scares the hell out of me.

Such an obvious terrorist target

Joe Biden was absolutely great this morning at the Ramos funeral. I am not joking one bit. He was eloquent, well prepared, sincere ... all things Obama is not nor will ever be.

I thought I'd never ever say this, but --- way to go, Joe Biden.

Wasn't some militia group in Ohio planning to kill a bunch of police officers at a funeral for a cop they had previously killed? Maybe in 2009 or 2010? You are right, 10,000 cops in place is tempting fate.

From ABC News:

Quote:
Hundreds of police officers turned their backs on a screen showing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio as he spoke at the funeral of one of two officers killed last week in what has been called an "assassination."

Anyone who feels the need to display it is making a statement.
Take that as you will. It says a lot.

Yes - it's part of history.
So are swastikas.

that is a racists statement. I am not walking on eggs because 150 years ago their great great great great grand father got hurt. you conveniently forget about the white slaves of that period. Lincoln realized the civil war was not about states rights. It was about human rights.

If you hang your hat on a 150 year old battle flag from a by gone era you are in denial.

They should be fired, the lot of them.

What law or NYPD regulation did they violate? You think it is appropriate to fire someone for exercise of free speech? I am assuming that they were there on their own time.

F_that. I think what they're doing is outstanding.

Continue to embarrass this embarrassing excuse for a mayor and show the world what they're really dealing with in Gracie mansion. What a fool they got stuck with in the last election. A super-duper left-leaning fool, who took in 70%+ of the vote, I'm sure many of those votes belonging to cops, who now realize the severe error of their voting ways.

A Tale of Two Cities.
One, the sea of blue honoring their fallen comrades as civilized people, the other, the street over-run by less than human vermin calling for cop killings.
NYC needs to purge this riff raff - by any means. Call the Orcon Man, or Roto Rooter, whatever would flush the streets of these worthless animals.

I think the cops should call in sick on New Year's Eve.
