In answer to a previous question....
The reason NYPD is upset with Blasio is because he has been so soft on the protestors -- Rudy, for example, allowed protests, but they were never allowed to block traffic, never allowed to take over and control important bridges, and never allowed to espouse violence. There HAVE been, on Blasio's watch, protests where the mob was calling for death to cops.
Now, please note that the condemnation of the Mayor comes from the Police Union, and the PU does not always represent what the rank and file thinks, due to political considerations. HOWEVER, in this case, it appears the PU is expressing the legitimate concern of officers who cannot, in their positions as employees of the city, speak out against their boss.
After a few seconds of chanting "Hands up, don’t shoot," the demonstrators changed their cry, apparently yelling out in unison "What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? Now."
They got what they wanted, and, apparently at least SOME of them are celebrating.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I want to take time to trample on the shooter's image. This man was the lowest of criminals, and a fool who couldn't interpret modern events without prejudice. Furthermore, he was a coward of the most dangerous kind. Do not be distracted by the deaths of his victims when you examine his motive. Similar to the psychology of most mass shooters, the plan was undoubtedly centered around suicide. But he didn't have the courage to kill himself without doing it in a manner that masked his suicidal intention. What kind of man does it take to shoot your unarmed girlfriend? I'm glad this monster is no longer walking the face of the earth, but saddened that he took two good men with him.
I'm also very interested by the dynamic situation playing out between the NYPD and the Mayor. From experience, I can tell you the police know which politicians truly support them, and which ones don't. Even when the politician receives services that are potentially life-saving, and then later tries to take away the very equipment used to protect his own family (the 'militarization of police' argument)...I've not seen the police/politician relationship devolve this much. De Blasio has dug himself into a hole, and he needs to do some work if he wants to dig himself out of it. I, for one, would not want some slimy politician to use my own funeral to garner political goodwill while he pretended to 'pay his respects', if he had routinely disrespected those of my profession. He's shown his true colors, so it'll be difficult to convince the NYPD that he's changed."If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in the situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
