NEW YORK (AP) — For the second weekend in a row, police outside the funeral of a fellow officer have turned their backs toward a video screen showing New York Mayor Bill de Blasio (dih BLAH'-zee-oh) delivering a eulogy. Today's gesture at the funeral of officer Wenjian Liu (WEHN'-jihn loo) repeats the action police took at the funeral of Liu's partner, Rafael Ramos. Leaders of the police union have accused the mayor of contributing to anti-police sentiment by supporting protests against killings by police. The police commissioner had urged officers not to air their grievances at the funeral.
