I am, of course referring to the local constabulary, who are throwing a hissy fit over New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s comments about how he had to warn his son about police violence<\/a>, and Cleveland Browns receiver Andrew Hawkins’ wearing of a “Justice for Tamir Rice And John Crawford III” T-shirt during warmups<\/a>:<\/div>\n

The Patrolmen\u2019s Benevolent Association, New York City’s largest police union, on Friday called on cops to keep Mayor Bill de Blasio away from police officers’ funerals. <\/p>\n

The union published a notice<\/a> on its website urging officers to keep de Blasio or City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito away, the New York Daily News reported<\/a> on Friday. <\/p>\n

“DON’T LET THEM INSULT YOUR SACRIFICE!” the notice reads. <\/p>\n

Officers can download a form<\/a> to request that de Blasio and Mark-Viverito not attend their funerals “in the event that you are killed in the line of duty.” <\/p>\n

“Due to Mayor de Blasio and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito’s consistent refusal to show police officers the support and respect they deserve, I believe that their attendance at the funeral of a fallen New York City police officer is an insult to that officer’s memory and sacrifice,” the form reads.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Cleveland police union has demanded that the Cleveland Browns football team apologize for a player who wore a T-shirt before Sunday’s game protesting the police shootings of two black people. <\/p>\n

Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins wore a shirt reading “Justice for Tamir Rice And John Crawford III” during pre-game warmups. Rice, who was just 12 years old, died<\/a> last month after a Cleveland police officer shot him when he mistook the boy’s toy gun for a real weapon. Crawford, 22, was shot dead<\/a> by police in August at an area Wal-Mart while he was holding an air rifle. <\/p>\n

Cleveland Police Patrolman Union President Jeff Follmer sent local TV station WEWS a statement after Sunday’s game that called for an apology from the NFL team. “It’s pretty pathetic when athletes think they know the law,” the statement read<\/a>, as quoted by WEWS. “They should stick to what they know best on the field. The Cleveland Police protect and serve the Browns stadium and the Browns organization owes us an apology.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seriously.  If a member of the police force cannot deal with the rather anodyne statements about controversial use of force by the department, they need to find another line of work.<\/p>\n

I would suggest that they apply to be professional  Klein Bottles, because with their heads so far up their asses, there would be very little adjustment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
