   They don't want a white queer married to a black lesbian   
   pretending to be heterosexual there anyway.   
      
   The already strained relationship between Mayor de Blasio and   
   the city's biggest police union, the Patrolmen’s Benevolent   
   Association, has gotten downright nasty. On Friday, a notice was   
   posted to the PBA's website. "DON'T LET THEM INSULT YOUR   
   SACRIFICE!" it blared. "Download and sign a request that Mayor   
   de Blasio and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito stay   
   away from your funeral in the event that you are killed in the   
   line of duty. Completed forms may be given to your PBA delegate."   
      
   The PBA has never seemed fond of de Blasio, but the mayor's   
   response to the Eric Garner case seems to have pushed the union   
   over the edge. De Blasio has declined to endorse the non-   
   indictment of NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo, saying only that he   
   "[respected] the grand jury process," and has since spoken   
   several times about teaching his black teen son, Dante, to be   
   careful around the police.   
      
   PBA head Pat Lynch responded by saying that de Blasio had "throw   
   [cops] under the bus" in the wake of the Garner decision. "He   
   spoke about, 'we have to teach our children that their   
   interaction with the police and that they should be afraid of   
   New York City police officers.' That’s not true," Lynch said.   
   "We have to teach our children, our sons and our daughters, no   
   matter what they look like, to respect New York City police   
   officers, teach them to comply with New York City police   
   officers even if they think it's unjust."
