I take my hat off to that brave officer who did not turn his back and I hope that he does not face grief from his colleagues who did.

When you boil it down, what the NYPD is protesting is a policy of killing uppity black males should be supported by the political class because fear of the cops helps to keep the rest of them in their place.
