1. We NYers dislike our police being killed, and we honor them when honorable. n/t

[Cha]

2. Very Well said.. TY

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. My thought exactly. When a good cop goes down, it is beautiful when the fellow cops and public

come together to celebrate this person.

[whathehell]

3. A tragic thing..I'm so glad to see this turnout.

Thanks for posting..

5. 22 is just way, WAY too young. His photo broke me.

I can't bear the thought of what his mother is going through.

21. Only four months married

6. I'm sure many are grieving with heavy hearts today

A young man with so much drive to help others taken from us. We are all wounded and scarred. May he rest in peace.

[No Vested Interest]

7. May God bless and hold his sweet soul.

[LittleGirl]

8. Wow! RIP eom

[Raine]

9. R-I-P 🕯 hearing his widow speak brought me to tears. nt

[C Moon]

10. 22 years. Terrible. :(

[Hortensis]

11. Yes. So sad. A 22-year-old in that box.

The other officer who died, Wilbert Mora, was 27.

[Dorian Gray]

12. He sounds like a good man

with a big heart, and the city and police department will be weaker without him. Glad he had such a beautiful turnout yesterday. May he RIP.

13. Young wife paying tribute to her husband was so heart wrenching!

[druidity33]

14. That crowd looks to be

90% police officers. I don't see the PUBLIC recognition here that the OP is touting. It actually looks a little more threatening to me. The amount of LEOs in those clips is stunning. And they "stand together" in very orderly fashion.

[Piasladic]

16. Exactly

Why is yours the first and only one to point this out?

[druidity33]

19. It looks like a show of force to me...

which is obviously a standard intimidation tactic.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

22. I opened this thead because I was interested to see how many members of the public came out

to the procession, and agree -- I would not have used "crowd" to describe the scene.

[IcyPeas]

23. Sorry, I guess the word "crowd" may not have been the most accurate word.

[druidity33]

25. Well... it is a crowd. Of cops. nt.

[Piasladic]

35. Isn't there a word for that?

A bunch, a clowder, a mob...Oh, I remember a murder.

[drmeow]

33. I agree that it looks like all police officers

Although I didn't find it threatening, per se. I just feel like that's what people in certain jobs do - LEO, Firefighters, military. When there is a death in their ranks, they put on their uniforms and go stand at attention. I'm guessing there are LEO from the surrounding areas there as well.

15. Looks like a huge super covid spreading event.

[okaawhatever]

29. As police officers they are all vaxxed. nt

[Emile]

30. Have you heard about the two New York

pediatric nurses arrested who sold covid cards and entered the info into the database? One of them is married to a NY policeman.

[okaawhatever]

31. Yes I just read the story, but didn't know about her husband. The police

Officers and civilians working with them were vaccinated very early and only at one hospital. Vaccines were extremely limited and the oversight process thorough back then.

[druidity33]

34. this article is from Nov 1

"Only a few a dozen NYPD members were placed on unpaid leave Monday after refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine — but thousands of unvaccinated employees remain on the job with pending exemption requests, the city’s top cop said."

https://nypost.com/2021/11/01/heres-how-many-nypd-cops-are-on-unpaid-leave-over-vaccine-mandate/

At present there appears to still be a test or vaccinate mandate, but the police union has been fighting this legally. So yeah. It looks like there are "thousands" of cops in NYC (of the roughly 50,000 officers) who are as yet unvaccinated. Sorry i can't be more specific... maybe someone else can dig up more granular info?

[DetlefK]

17. Where is this compassion and enthusiasm when it comes to rooting out bad cops???????????

One would think that the cops would want to enforce rigorous moral and ethical standards in their ranks...

How many cops took to the streets to demand justice when it was revealed that the NY AGs have a list of cops they should not call as witnesses in trial... BECAUSE THESE ARE KNOWN DIRTY COPS.

That's correct. Zero.

Not a single cop stood up for integrity and honor.

18. That crowd is ALL cops.

[Shellback Squid]

20. RIP Officer Rivera

may his slayer burn in hell

[BlackSkimmer]

24. Sad.

Even sadder that the ACAB crowd doesn’t care about this young man’s life.

[Lucid Dreamer]

26. Yup... sad indeed.

Multi-offender shooting LEO. And yet it still brings out the




Nevermind. I don't want to be sanctioned.

[Jedi Guy]

27. Correct, because "bLuE mAn BaD" and rotten apples and so forth. No exceptions, ever. N/T

[BlackSkimmer]

28. Yes, funny how prejudice is accepted so widely...depending on whom is being prejudged.

[Raine]

32. Exactly 🙁 nt

[Piasladic]

36. So when a sanitation worker dies

Are all of us going to stop traffic in remembrance? For all the work she has done? How she died in the line of duty?... a hundred times a day? No- because cops somehow are golden children and WE MUST respect them.
