Hundreds of police officers outside the Queens, N.Y. church Saturday where the funeral of Officer Rafael Ramos was being held turned their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio as he eulogized the fallen officer who was ambushed last week along with his partner.

De Blasio's remarks were being shown on large TV monitors outside the Christ Tabernacle Church. Police union officials have accused the mayor of fostering a climate of mistrust that contributed to the killings of Officer Ramos and his partner.


More than 25,000 police officers from across the country assembled in winter sunshine to pay final respects to Ramos, a seven-year veteran of the NYPD. The long sea of blue stretched more than six city blocks.

In his eulogy, de Blasio offered the city's condolences to the Ramos family.

"All of this city is grieving and grieving for so many reasons," he said. "But the most personal is that we lost such a good man."

Vice President Joe Biden expressed condolences directly to Ramos' two sons.

"You've shown tremendous courage these past days," he said.

He said Ramos and his partner Wenjian Liu were officers who were committed, passionate and vigilant.

"Being a cop was not what they did, it was who they were like every man and woman in uniform today and they, like every one of you here and outside, all joined for the same reason," Biden said.

he church applauded when Biden called the New York Police Department the finest in the world.

"When an assassin's bullet targeted two officers, it targeted this city and it touched the soul of an entire nation," the vice president said.“

"I believe this police force will show the nation how to bridge any divide," he said.

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton told the mourners they knew who officer Ramos was. "Father, son, brother and husband," he said. "He was a New Yorker. He was a New York City police officer. He was a hero."

The church applauded when Bratton said he had promoted Ramos to detective first grade and appointed him an honorary department chaplain.

Bratton said Ramos and his partner were assassinated because of who they were. "They were killed for their color," the commissioner said. "They were blue."

Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the shooting of the two officers "an attack on all of us."

The large contingent of mourners in blue began showing up at the church early.

"He was studying to be a pastor. He had Bible study books in his locker, which is rare for a police officer, but that goes to show you the type of man he was," NYPD Capt. Sergio Centa said before entering the church.

"Law enforcement isn't just your own department; it runs deep," said Lt. Chris Thibault of the Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, Police Department.

When the Ramos family arrived, the eldest son -- wearing his father's New York Police Department jacket -- was hugged by a police officer.

Funeral plans for Liu have yet to be announced.

The officers were killed Dec. 20 while sitting in their patrol car on a street in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant section. Investigators have said the gunman, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, was troubled and had shot and wounded an ex-girlfriend in Baltimore earlier that day.

Ramos was described Friday during an eight-hour wake as a selfless, caring and compassionate man.

"What happened to my father was a tragedy," Ramos' son, Justin, said in a tearful eulogy viewed by hundreds of officers in the street who watched on giant television screens outside the crowded church. "But his death will not be in vain."

Ramos, a 40-year-old married father of two, wanted to be a police chaplain and kept Bible study books in his locker, his commanding officer said.

Officer Dustin Lindaman of the Waterloo Police Department flew from Iowa to attend Ramos' funeral.

"He's one of our brothers, and when this happens, it affects everyone in law enforcement -- it absolutely affects everyone," he said. "We wanted to show our support."

The man who killed Ramos and his partner committed suicide soon after the shooting. In online posts shortly before the attack, Brinsley referenced the killings of two unarmed black men -- Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner on Staten Island -- by white police officers.

Police union officials blame de Blasio for comments he made about the police amid protests over the deaths of Brown and Garner. At a hospital after the shooting, the police union's president, Patrick Lynch, and others turned their backs on the mayor in a sign of disrespect. Lynch blamed the mayor then for the officers' deaths and said he had blood on his hands.

Weeks before the shooting, Lynch suggested that officers sign a petition requesting that the mayor not attend their funerals were they to die in the line of duty.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan and others have since tried to temper the rhetoric.

De Blasio has stood firmly by the police since the shooting, calling on the demonstrators to temporarily halt their protests and praising officers after the police department announced the arrest of a seventh person since the shooting for making threats against police.

There was no noticeable reaction from police outside the church when de Blasio arrived Saturday about a half hour before services.

A block from the church, though, retired NYPD Officer John Mangan held a sign that read: "God Bless the NYPD. Dump de Blasio."

"If the mayor really wanted to do the right thing, he would have gotten into an NYPD car and rode around Bed Stuy and see the difficult jobs these cops do every day," Mangan said. "The bottom line is there should be more signs out here in support of these cops."

Ramos and Liu were the first officers to die in the line of duty in New York since 2011. They have both been posthumously promoted to first-grade detective, police said.

Nobody doin symbolic back turns over that?

Even though they walked into Cici's Pizza, blew two cops away in front of patrons, stretched their bodies out on the floor and laid swastikas and revolutionary flags on them?


But when it's Black people, it's part of a national conspiracy against the police.

Oh, ok.

If sodomizing dudes with plungers and sending innocent teenagers to jail make you the finest I'd hate to see what it takes to be considered the worst. Western Europe must be laughing hard right now.
12685286, they are arresting ppl for making threats against police

Think abt that

12685290, well they are "investigating" them
Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Sat Dec-27-14 07:06 PM
then arresting them for other things they discover while investigating
12685307, ah heres the updates on those being "detained"

12685288, That lunatic killing those cops moved this whole thing in a wrong direction
Posted by blkprinceMD05, Sat Dec-27-14 07:03 PM
I feel really bad for their families too

But it's still FTP as far as I'm concerned
12685663, These are not the only cops killed in America
Posted by Doronmonkflake, Sun Dec-28-14 09:27 PM
But this case stopped the presses because they're making it political when it's a mental illness concern.

This man shot his ex-girl and himself. That's indicative of something other than a Sharpton post-hypnotic suggestion.

But as I mentioned above, Ismaaiyl Brinsley was Black. And we all share the NAACP hive mind. But when Jerad and Amanda Miller shoot cops up, it's a "random act".
12685292, WAT

The cops fostered the current climate by stopping and frisking literally every black man in New York city. Seriously, go look it up. They've stopped and frisked every black male there but, but, but, it's De Blasio's fault. Seriously, fuck their hypocritical asses and that psycopath idiot coward for killing those two cops.

BigReg, I think OKP got infiltrated:

12685300, honestly, he needs 2 wait til 2nd cop is buried then officially blast them
Posted by thegodcam, Sat Dec-27-14 07:27 PM
if we r playing chess, the ONLY move he can make right now is go on the attack... aint nothing he can truly do at this point to get the support from the union-led cops.... so make sure u get the support from the masses of civilians and the "good" cops....

he needs 2 come out in public and talk about how outrageous and despicable the Union is for attempting to link him in any shape or form to the death of these 2 officers

i also wished the NYPD Black Cop Union would come out and make a statement... with the amount of off-duty or undercover blk cops who got shot by a colleague, u think they would know better
12685303, Policing is so corrupt

12685329, If they don't like their jobs or boss then they can't quit
Posted by SimplyHannah, Sat Dec-27-14 08:24 PM
There are plenty of unemployed and underemployed people with associates degrees that can do their jobs.

They turned their backs on Deblasio and also the 72% of nycers that voted for him under his police reform platform. Scary part about it is that when theyre out in the field they're not gonna know which 72% to turn their backs on so everyone is fair game.
12685421, Why is the culture of emotional instability encouraged when it comes to cops?

Posted by Jon, Sun Dec-28-14 10:27 AM
Right right, its the protests and some relatively moderate statements by a mayor that are to blame for people being mad at cops. It can't possibly have anything to do with their actual behavior.

12685434, Just plain stupid....no other words

12685513, The mayor needs to have a 'come to Jesus' with him. After the 2nd funeral.

12685514, wow

12685816, Even Bratton distances himself from Lynch, apparently
Posted by T Reynolds, Mon Dec-29-14 08:57 AM
He publicly denounced their decision to do it, but he kind of mirrored his explanation of the policemens' act of turning their backs as 'unfortunately how a lot of officers feel' to reflect de blasio's stance on the protests as people expressing how they feel about police.
12685511, That feels like insubordination.
Posted by SoWhat, Sun Dec-28-14 02:10 PM
It needs to be addressed I think, but after the funerals. And maybe behind closed doors with the mayor and the union prez. But if I were mayor there's no way I'd let that slide.
12685584, well, they called david dinkins a ni**er. pretty sure they are
