Mayor De Blasio of New York City was giving his eulogy for fallen NY police officer Wenjian Liu when many officers viewing turned their backs on him outside of the funeral home. A few months before Liu's service, officer Liu and a few others were accused of murdering a large, african american asthmatic male after putting him in a chokehold because he was refusing to put on handcuffs. This is when De Blasio told his 17 year old bi-racial son that he needed to be cautious when approached by a police officer. There was no issue with De Blasio telling his son this, it was just that fact that he brought it to the attention of the public that enraged some, he should have kept his father duties at home and out of politics. That is until Liu was then 'assasinated' by a male that was previously known to have a mental illness, then fled to a nearby subway station and committed suicide. Mayor De Blasio gave his eulogy speech at Liu's funeral service and stated "Detective Wenjian Liu was a good man. He walked a path of courage, a path of sacrifice, and a path of courage. He uses the strategy of parallelism and anaphora to reach his audience of family and friends of Liu, he refers to Liu's life as a path. Those attending the service could have been touched by De Blasio's speech, but others could say he is a hypocrite and make them dislike him even more than they already do. He spoke all these kind words about Liu at his funeral, but before incident occurred, he was warning his son of people like him. De Blasio has himself in a sticky situation that he needs strategy to get himself out of.
