#1 Bratton was appointed by de Blasio, so he has to do his bidding.

It is de Blasio that is polluting this funeral by turning it into a photo op on how much he "supports" the police. De Blasio created this problem (in fact, he built his career on attacking the police), and the police are under no obligation to get him out of it.

If de Blasio wants to gain respect, then show up WITHOUT THE PRESS, and attend as a private mourner.

#3 "I issue no mandates and I make no threats of discipline," the memo said. "But I remind you that when you don the uniform of this department, you are bound by the tradition, honor, and decency that go with it."

he'd do well to remind his boss of that as well.

#4 When an issue like this is politicized, the general principle is to not expect a resolution of the issue except for time.

Though it seems to me that not writing tickets and bullsh*t arrests is a step up.
