Indeed. At the funeral for murdered NYPD officer Wenjian Liu, cops again turned their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio. Reaction was mixed.

@Matthops82 Seems like they feel they've used up all other options in getting their point across.

@NYTMetro @nytimes @BilldeBlasio And that number will get less and less and fizzle out long before Occupy Wall Street pulled their tents!

They care more about punishing de blasio for what they felt was a betrayal of white loyalty then they ever cared about those cops.

@nypost funny how some condemn the free speech rights of off duty cops, but excuse violent demonstrations of the radical left

Twitchy regular Redsteeze put things in perspective.
NYPD should just say "We didn't mean it. We thought it was funny" and tell the media to take a walk.

The NYPD funerals themselves are protests. Hundreds of cops came from around the country to be there.
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) January 4, 2015
This isn't just about "back turning" This is about police around the country being targeted by a leftist mob and showing support.

Those weren't just NYPD cops turning their backs on DeBlasio.
