Cops Ignore Commissioner's Plea, Turn Backs to de Blasio at Funeral
Hudson Hongo · 01/04/15 02:00PMOn Friday, NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton appealed to the "tradition, honor, and decency" of his force, asking them to refrain from using the funeral of murdered officer Wenjian Liu as a venue for protest.
