While mourners inside the church applauded politely as Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke, hundreds of officers outside turned their backs on him to protest what they see as his support for demonstrators angry over killings by police.
Police union officials in contentious contract negotiations with the city have faulted de Blasio for showing sympathy to protesters angry over the failure to file charges against the police officers involved in the deaths of Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Garner in the New York borough of Staten Island.

Maybe the police should not patrol or respond to calls in bad neighborhoods. That would eliminate all the violent confrontations in these areas between police and the public. No confrontations, no police brutality.

He went overboard when he talked about warning his son about the NYPD for starters. Man sounds like he's got Stockholm Syndrome or something.
I didn't think the mayor weighed in on that. I cojld be wrong.
