'Where are the demonstrations for this single mom?' NYPD commissioner delivers impassioned speech at funeral for slain cop as boy, 16, blasts NWA's hit 'F*** Tha Police' on repeat during service and hundreds of officers turn their backs on Mayor DeBlasio

NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill delivered an impassioned speech at the funeral for a slain NYPD officer during a day of high tensions in the Bronx.

Commissioner O'Neill, speaking during the funeral of NYPD Officer Miosotis Familia, touched the heart of what many officers are feeling who are in the line of duty by saying: 'Where are the demonstrations for this single mom...why is there no outrage?'

Taking aim at protesters and the media for what he sees as too much criticism of officers, O'Neill said Familia's death 'should remind everybody that the civility of our city rests on a knife's edge'. 

Officer Miosotis was ambushed and fatally shot by self proclaimed cop hater while she was sitting in her patrol car in the Bronx.

Mayor Bill de Blasio also spoke at the police officer's funeral. Some mourners later told how cops gathered outside turned their backs to screens showing him speaking in a sign of protest, still angry that he left the city last week immediately after her death to attend the G-20 summit in Germany 

Meanwhile outside the funeral a Bronx teen blasted the NWA song F*** Tha Police on repeat from his apartment window on Tuesday as police were gathered below to mourn slain cop Miosotis Familia.

The teen defiantly blasted the song out his third-floor apartment window prompting a house call from about 20 officers. Julien Rodriguez, 16, said it was 'satisfying' to play the song from his apartment just above the funeral saying his brother and friend were unjustifiably killed by cops.

'Since they did not show respect for my brother and my friend, why should I show respect to them?' Rodriguez told the New York Post. 

One officer even tried speaking Spanish to the teen explaining he understood growing up Latino in the city. The teen eventually apologized, but said it was only because his landlord threatened to toss him and his family out.   

'I apologized because it was between the house and apologizing,' he said. Cops at the funeral were infuriated by the show of disrespect. 'This is the s–t we face every day,' a police source griped. 

A man who identified himself as the apartment's owner said he was going to through the family out. 'I left my job, came to the apartment, and told them they have to get out of there,' said the man, who only gave the name Jesus and said he had been allowing the siblings to stay there for the week. 'I've got a deep respect for all the police — I didn't know they would do something like that.'

The women's three children struggled to contain their emotion as they emerged from the church after the service. 12-year-old Peter Vega burst in to tears, holding on to his older sister's arm for support 

The siblings led thousands of mourners out of the church immediately after the service on Tuesday morning 

Tensions were even higher during the ceremony as officer's turned their backs on Mayor Bill DeBlasio as he spoke in a show of protest over his decision to go to Germany last week in the immediate aftermath of the officer's death.   

Familia, a 48-year-old single mother-of-three, was shot dead in The Bronx as she made notes in her patrol car in the early hours of July 5.  Her killer, paranoid schizophrenic Anthony Bonds, 34, was gunned down by other police officers as he tried to flee. 

On Tuesday, thousands packed World Changers Church in The Bronx to lay Familia, a single mother-of-three, to rest.  

Outside, scores more stood beneath screens and speakers which broadcast the service. When de Blasio appeared on screen, some turned their backs on him in a show of protest over his decision to go to Hamburg last week in the immediate aftermath of the officer's death, The New York Post reported.

During his unannounced trip, De Blasio spoke at a protest against the then ongoing G-20 summit of world leaders in Hamburg. Bizarrely, he used his appearance at the anti-establishment demonstration to laud his own police force.  

The trip meant that he missed a vigil for officer Familia on Saturday. It outraged New York City residents and caught the attention of President Trump who criticized it on Twitter.

On Tuesday, de Blasio, in an apparent attempt to redeem himself, gave an impassioned speech calling for increased support of police officers.   

Oblivious to the protest outside, he said: 'We've watched with horror these attacks on our police here in New York City and all around our country. It sickens us, and we know they cannot be tolerated, and we know they must end.

'But in fact,' he added, 'we must end it. It's not a one-way street, my friends. We must help our police in every way, just as we ask them to help us in our moment of need. ... They need us to be their eyes and ears. They need our solidarity and support. 

De Blasio went on to call the Familia a 'beautiful New York City story' and said she 'embodied the American spirit'.  

'She embodied the American dream' de Blasio said Tuesday, calling Familia a hero who 'lived life the right way.'

The cops' protest was reminiscent of the 2015 funeral of Wenjian Liu who was also killed by a cop-hating gunman.

At the time, officers thought de Blasio was against them. On Tuesday, the mayor called for outrage over the Familia's death and said the public ought to support the force now more than ever.  

The three children later held their composure as others around them broke down to mourn their mother

The woman's children said they were 'so proud' she was a police officer and thanked their 'blue family' in the NYPD for supporting them since her death last week 

The siblings were joined on stage by their grandmother Adriana Valloy and another relative 

More family members joined them on afterwards and surrounded them in a hug as the congregation applauded

The woman's elderly mother was at the front of the procession which filed out of the church after the service 

He was followed by officer Familia's three children. 

Recalling their final conversation, the woman's 20-year-old daughter Genesis said through tears: 'She said 'I love you, I'm going to work now.' And she gave me a really big, tight hug, and I said, 'I love you, mom.' … I asked her for one more hug. She said, 'of course, you can.''

Her 12-year-old brother Peter said: 'She was brave enough to do that knowing that there's consequences, like danger, but she loved us.  'She wanted to sacrifice for us, so she did it.'

Also on stage was Peter's twin sister Delilah.   

Adding that she was 'so proud' her mother was a cop, Genesis thanked her own family and their 'bigger family of blue'. NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill choked back his own tears as he addressed the 48-year-old's family. 

'Nothing I could say could bring your mom back. But I can make you this promise: your mom didn't die in vain. 

'Your mom's legacy will never fade from the importance of memory. Your mom made it her mission to make your home, New York City, a better and safer place for everyone. 

'And I vow to you, we will continue to find our way forward in her honor, because that's what cops do.'   

Thousands packed the church in The Bronx on Tuesday morning to pay their respects to the single mother-of-three

A sea of police in blue uniforms filled the landmark Bronx movie theater and the street outside to pay tribute to Familia, a 12-year officer, former health care worker and single mother of three who also cared for her 86-year-old mother. A child of immigrants who was the first person in her family to go to college, she had always wanted to be a police officer, her family said. 

Familia was posthumously promoted Tuesday to detective. And to her family, she was also a 'protector, defender, guidance counselor, spiritual adviser ... philosopher, philanthropist, theorist and mother,' said her 20-year-old daughter, Genesis Vilella.

Familia, 48, was in an RV-like command post stationed in a crime-ridden Bronx precinct early Wednesday when 34-year-old Alexander Bonds walked up to the vehicle and fired once through the passenger window, striking Familia in the head. Bonds ran from the scene but police caught up to him and opened fire, killing him after they said he turned the gun on them. Bonds had sought psychiatric care just days earlier.

An ex-convict, he had railed about police and prison officers in a Facebook video last fall.

At the wake Monday, Bronx resident Bill Simpson, 56, said he felt the need to mourn the loss of Familia, even though he never met her.

'It hurt everybody. All of us feel it,' he said.

After joining the NYPD in 2005, Familia worked her entire career in The Bronx precinct where she was killed. Familia is the first female New York Police Department officer to die in the line of duty since 9/11. 

Officer Miosotis Familia was shot dead as she wrote in her notebook while sitting in her patrol car in The Bronx last Wednesday. Her killer was Anthony Bonds, a 34-year-old paranoid schizophrenic who was killed by other officers
