re: the NYPD back turners -

[LiberalElite]

does anyone have figures on how many "thousands" of LE attended vs. the "hundreds" who turned their backs on deBlasio? I'd like to think they were a small minority. For example, if it was 2 thousand total attendees vs. 500 backturners that's 25% and not so small a number proportionately. Just wondering because all the photos I've seen are of the backturners. Thanks.

1. I thought it would be good to know what percentage of the force supports this, but ----

you will never know, NO cop will EVER admit to anyone other than his or her spouse if they object to the back turners, they would get their asses kicked.

Our system of police forces is so unacceptable, so wrong

2. our media doesn't give us much 'nuanced' news. i can't find any kind of figures.

good question.

is based on such a poor theory by a mob of thugs who have no respect for the law or the oath they swore to uphold when wearing their badge.
