You really and truly just don't get it.The ball is now in de Blasio's court to correct the situation.
You're right. He needs to find out who the instigators are and fire their asses.
What he needs to do is apologize.
Why should he apologize?
I never get this "apology" stuff.
He meant everything he said, his feelings on cops are clear, and now he's getting a reaction.
What they should NOT do is try to get him to quit or try to destroy his life just for expressing his opinion. That's what the PC Police do, not the REAL police.

Ok, I understand what you are saying, but de Blasio is not just an ordinary man with ordinary responsibilities, he's the freaking mayor of the city. His words, wether he believed in what he was saying or not, were reckless and irresponsible for someone in this position. The atmosphere became so bad that cops were attacked, even killed. IM not saying everything was directly caused by him, but was it self evident is he didn't do a good job in the leadership department. He did a great job of dividing and taking a side, and for that I think he owes an appology.
So it doesn't matter that he spoke the truth (as a father to a young black man) as long as he didn't hurt peoples feelings.
De Blasio was asked to speak at the funeral. The police that turned there back, disrespected the family of the death, politics is not a place for funerals. They also said they are not willing to listen to any criticism, thus they don't want to know what is wrong therefore they don't want to fix it...
Not exactly a surprise.
