NuYawk: Speaking on CBS “Face the Nation” Yesterday, New York Police Chief Bill Bratton said it was very inappropriate for police officers to turn their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio as he spoke at an officer’s funeral. “To bring politics or to bring issues into that event was very inappropriate and I do not support it. He is the mayor of New York. He is there representing the citizens of New York to express their remorse and their regret at that death,” Bratton said.
