Bill de Blasio and the Cop Killer Video

http://www.independentsentinel.com/bill-de-blasio-and-the-cop-killer-video/

What does a cop killer video and Bill de Blasio have in common?

What they have in common is Bill de Blasio’s hand-picked Chairman of the NYC Civilian Complaint Review Board – Richard Emery – who also owns a civil rights law firm. Emery is tied to a group named Bronx Defender that appears in a vile cop-killer video.

The Bronx Defender connection to Emery is two-fold.

Emery is credited by the leftist group, Bronx Defenders, as making the work they do possible. Additionally, Emery’s law partner – Earl Ward – is Bronx Defenders’ Board Chairman.

The connection is close and Bronx Defenders is very much a part of the cop-killer video.

Bronx Defenders, which received at least $1.5 million in tax dollars from the Obama administration, appear briefly in the cop-killer rap video which came out two weeks before Ismaaiyl Brinsley killed Officers Ramos and Liu.

IMO, the cops that turned their backs on de Blasio should be disciplined. Give them a few days off, unpaid.
If they want the job, WORK, or leave!

We Need Our Police to Be Better Than This

Yes, cops are under stress. But they’re trained to rise above emotional responses. It’s part of having the badge and the right to use force.

In 1951, Harry Truman fired Gen. Douglas MacArthur during the Korean War. The two never got along, but that wasn’t why Truman canned him. “I didn’t fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was,” explained Truman after the fact. “I fired him because he wouldn’t respect the authority of the president.” You expect soldiers of all ranks to understand the need to respect the chain of command, regardless of personal feelings.

Soldiers—and cops, too.

Which is one big reason the display by members of the New York Police Department at the funeral of slain patrolman Rafael Ramos is particularly disturbing. At Ramos’s funeral service Saturday, NYPD rank-and-file—along with members of police forces attending from around the country—turned their backs when Mayor Bill de Blasio delivered his eulogy. This was a very public fuck you to a politician widely perceived by conservatives and law-and-order types as weak on crime and in the pocket of social-justice warriors. Yet the cops’ protest illustrates exactly what drives so much fear of the police: the worry that cops react emotionally and impulsively in situations that call for cool rationality and a reliance on training and strategic restraint. “It wasn’t planned,” said one of the protesters. “Everyone just started doing it.”
