It's all about the inches
If they did that, what could Obama really do? DeBlasio has more power in this situation. If I was him I'd lay off officers w/ multiple complaints against them.

well he cant really do anything - hes the mayor not the chief - only the police comissioner can fire cops in nyc - the mayor can omly fire ppl that serve under him
he cant buck too hard - fire and ems are either ex cops or related to cops - the mayor is already on the outs wcorrections and now MTA bus and train workers over his office imsisting a driver be arrested that was in an accident where a person got killed

Obama could have them arrested, and discharged. The military is a lot different; they don't have civilian rights like cops do.

Honestly nothing can be done unless the NYPD did something sloppy/stupid like stop protecting De Blasio thus resulting in him getting shot/attacked. At that point the feds would have no qualms about stepping in and perhaps crushing the union.
It'll be very interesting to see what happens to crime statistics in the coming year; usually police play along with juking stats positively, but they can do the opposite too. I don't buy the idea that unions voting against De Blasio will end him - let's be real, they didn't vote for him in the last election. But they can conspire to fukk things up enough for De Blasio to take the blame. And help usher in another fascist like Gulianni to ride in on a law and order platform. Honestly it reminds me of what happened nationally with Obama. There was a clear attempt by republicans to sabotage the economy and blame everything on Obama. He still managed to stomp Romney.
Can De Blasio do the same, without the fervent supporters Obama has/had? I hope liberals disappointed in De Blasio have his back because whatever comes after him will be worst. Dude is clearly shook right now.

Electing Deblasio was comically stupid as the guy was embarrassingly unqualified to run a lemonade stand let alone the biggest city in the world....but turning your backs at the funeral was petty and selfish.

Opposed to who? My old boss?
if you think de blasio has any clue what he's doing you have your head in the sand. he's so far in over his head its scary...
As opposed to who? Joey?
Wasn't a fan of Quinn but at least she'd be organized enough.
The unions backed Bill Thompson, who also had a more sublime anti police rhetoric.
This, NYPD union is run like the mafia. And it's
as a union member myself.

Can't believe they did it again... at a funeral nonetheless.
Capitalize on a family's time to publicly mourn their lost loved one by behaving selfishly, brehs.
And surprisingly Giuliani gave a really balanced argument on Face the Nation this morning about the entire situation. He just wants DeBlasio to apologize, which I dont think is warranted... maybe politically, but not morally.

Read what you wrote. Only the police commissioner can fire the officers BUT, who can fire the Police Commissioner and appoint someone else? The fukking mayor!
Read this, and see, the mayor is about to cut some heads, and bratton is with it.

Mayor, Police Commissioner Fire Back at Police Unions Following Funeral Ban
"Some voices in this city have decided to be divisive," said Mayor Bill de Blasio.
"It was a step too far, a step too far," said Police Commissioner William Bratton.
Those comments were directed at one union in particular: the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association.
"That statement on Friday by the PBA was just plain divisive and unacceptable," de Blasio said.
Icy rhetoric from Mayor de Blasio and a staunch defense from Police Commissioner Bill Bratton came in response to a call from the city's police officers' union to ban the mayor and the council speaker from NYPD funerals.
It's the latest clash in what's become an increasingly contentious relationship between City Hall and several police unions.
"What we have is a mayor that really has no regard for the NYPD. I am not really even sure if he is doing his job as mayor," said Sergeants Benevolent Association President Edward Mullins.
"This is serious business that we're dealing with and to diminish by unnecessary personal attacks to advance professional goals is unnecessary," Bratton said.
"Responding to self-interested critics with histrionic voices just doesn't get you very far, so that's all I have to say," the mayor said.
It has become so fractured that Cardinal Timothy Dolan penned an op-ed on Monday calling the PBA's criticism "unfair."
The two unions clashing with the mayor—the sergeants and the police officers—are both without contracts.
Gross: "Would you welcome the mayor to a sergeant's funeral?"
Mullins: "That's not up for me to decide. That's up for the sergeant and his family to decide."
The sergeants are still negotiating with City Hall. As for the PBA, its contract is in arbitration. Its president, Pat Lynch, is now up for re-election, seeking a fifth term.
In response to the mayor's comments, Lynch did release this statement on Monday: "It is very clear to me that the mayor has no idea of just how angry New York City police officers are at him for his lack of support and for laying decades of society’s problems undeservedly at their feet."
