Mayor Bill de Blasio says it was “disrespectful” that some NYPD officers turned their backs to him during a pair of funerals for slain police officers.
De Blasio said that the actions were hurtful to the families of the two cops killed in an ambush last month.
He also said Monday, in his first remarks on the officers’ protests, that the public rebuke was an offense to the city at large.
Police Commissioner William Bratton also condemned their actions.
The rift between the police unions and de Blasio has created the biggest crisis of his mayoralty.
The unions have blamed de Blasio for fostering an anti-NYPD atmosphere they believe contributed to the murders of the officers.
Thousands of officers turned their backs to the mayor at the funerals.

BILL DUMBBLASIO
So this liberal shmendrick supports anti-police protesters to excersize their free speech rights to protest against the police but he opposes as “disrespectful” police protesting against him.
What a shmendrick.
Sharpton rules over de blasio
you deserve all to turn their backs and if you weren’t such a crook and commie you would resign
Did the Mayor ever say the words ” I am sorry” for the comments he made that he isn’t sure if he can trust his wife and kids with the NYPD ?
Bill de Doofis had his chance for a mea culpa which would have make everything better but instead the turd that he is only made it worse. The good news is he just sealed his fate as a one termer. New Yorkers won’t be fooled twice by this empty sack.
Why doesn’t he come off his High Horse and apologize to the NYPD.?
He would come out like a big hero.
Ts Ts Ts
Mayor is insulted.
His peelings were hurt!
Oy!
But he had no problem saying what he said and referencing Dante’s fears – poor thing!
He ought have instead said that if police were so hurt that they’re still turning their backs even in front of the slain officer’s funeral then he’s sorry for seeming insensitive און גע’ענדיגט.
גאוה, גאוה, גאוה!!!
Oh I’m so sorry if we hirt your feelings
Whata louse
Bozo The Clown Bill Di Blasio, I believe you have a chip on your shoulder as I think you have regrets that you married a “black” woman. You had to make it a point that all of the media heard your demeaning comment to your bi-racial son that he has to watch his back as the police out there are prejudice. You’re an absolute disgrace as a human being and shouldn’t have been elected to a position in government where you’ve embarrassed not only the NYPD but every police over throughout the United States that wondering whose going to take a pot-shot at them next. It would be most appropriate that you just write out your own resignation, sign it and leave the office of Mayor to someone who is a competent individual that doesn’t come into the office of Mayor with a chip on his/her shoulder against the most revered and honored police department in the country. You are a puke as you favor sitting next to a fraudster, one Alfred Charles Sharpton Jr. who owes the Federal government some 4 million dollars in back taxes. This go-to-black jackass is what is causing you to become more of a radical and its now getting to a very high decibel level where there will be a demand that you resign as Mayor.
The NYPD had the right to turn their backs on you as you do not derserve the respect you wish to be given. Respect is a privilege earned not something given for free. Wise up or ship out.
