Protests sparked by police killings of unarmed black men have drawn race relations and policing into the national spotlight, with some accusing police of using excessive force against African-Americans.

But the protests have also sparked anger from some police officers. They say some officials have been too sympathetic and accuse them of inciting violence against law enforcement officers.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke publicly about the counsel he gave to his biracial son to take extra care when dealing with police. Some police representatives went as far as connecting the statement to the recent double murder of Ramos and his partner.

Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani said de Blasio should apologize for his comments. "He created an impression with the police that he was on the side of the protesters," said the former mayor, who argued that some of the demonstrators took their rhetoric too far.
