#1 If the major was having trouble with African Americans, he would, inevitably, reach out to Al Sharpton. Now he needs an anti-Al Sharpton. Who is the anti-Al Sharpton? Is Clint Eastwood available?

#2 The mutinies in the French trenches in WWI were 'inappropriate' too, but a clear indication of failed leadership, political and military. So, they shot a few poor beggars for
discipline, and then sacked the senior leadership. Hint.

#3 De Blasio (original name Warren Wilhelm) should never have attended. His track record of anti-police, anti-authority (at least anti-authority that's not leftist fascism) is well known, and a single showing or a single speech won't put the lie to what every ?NYPD cop knows

#4 Shooting cops is inappropriate. Rioting, arson and shooting and looting are inappropriate. Resisting arrest is inappropriate. Robbing stores is inappropriate. Killing people is inappropriate. Engaging in gang and thug behavior is inappropriate. As a cop in NYC, turning your backs on de Blasio, might dig into his ego but it is not inappropriate. He turned his back on the cops in NYC.

#5 Inappropriate implies that, at some time and place, the labelled behavior might be appropriate. Unacceptable is what it actually is...

#6 The police have made their point about de Blasio and rightfully so. But they need to be careful about losing public sympathy by pushing it too far. There could be a perception that they are going Westboro by bringing their protest to a funeral.

#7 Giuilani called on de Blasio to apologize yesterday on Face the Nation. Then he reamed Obama a new one for his role in all of this.

An excerpt:

Giuliani doubled down on accusations that President Obama has fostered anti-police "propaganda" across the country, citing his appearances with the Rev. Al Sharpton.

"He has had Al Sharpton to the White House 80, 85 times. Often when he's talking about police issues, he has Al Sharpton sitting next to him. If he would like to have a poster boy for hating the police, it's Al Sharpton," he said.

"Actions speak louder than words. You put Al Sharpton next to you, you just told everyone, 'I'm against the police,'" he added.

#8 'Inappropriate' is a chickenshit term employed by management and generally applied before going nuclear with 'insubordinate'.

Bratton didn't win any friends with this.

#9 It appears Bratton does not have the NYPD's 'Back'.

#10 Inacceptable, unappropriate, whatever. De Blasio got elected, in part, by running against the cops. The cops went under the bus when he decided to throw in with the protestors (tough choice - people that got me elected vs people I need to help run this city?). The cops, being hands-on sort of guys, do not go willingly.

Beds having been made, they shall now be slept in. I don't see how to fix this. Besides getting a new mayor, I mean. Prediction: the cops will suck it up, resentments will fester, crime will rise.

#12 The root problem is that the police state nature of the police is the symptom of the fascist oriented political establishment.

The police have a necessary role to play in society but that is NOT the role the the pols. have defined.

The pols really want the law and the police to be primarily revenue collectors and to protect the elite from the peasantry. There's no one to protect the peasantry from the elite.

#13 the problem is statistical crime lies principally among a small "minority" of offenders which PC speak doesn't allow frank discussion about
