If sucking whichever politician's dick happens to be closest to you at the moment is the definition of "honor", then I guess he knows what he's talking about.
The same uniform the Mayor and Bratton himself disgraced while they were pandering to Al Sharpton and turning a blind eye to protests calling for dead cops.
Don't blame bratton, blame deblasio. He's the one likely threatening to fire bratton if he doesn't get his officers in line. Just goes to show you how little respect deblasio has for men and women in uniform and how underhanded he's willing to go for political capital. The upside is that the officers protesting is likely working. Deblasio wouldn't be threatening his chief if it wasn't. Keep it up NYpd!
I wonder what tradition, honor, and decency a mayor is bound to? Especially when it comes to cheering on and encouraging protest against his own police force?
What job is worth keeping if it trashes your reputation? What honorable man would give 2 shits what a phony pandering hack like DeBlasio thinks?
