New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called them the very best of New Yorkers, but many police turned their backs on the mayor as he spoke. During protests of recent police killings in Ferguson, Missouri and New York, Mayor de Blasio was criticized for appearing to support the protesters and not the police. Leaders encouraged them to lay their anger aside out of respect for the slain officers.

A few days after Christmas, America`s formal combat mission in Afghanistan came to an end. What does that mean? Well, around 10,000 U.S. troops will stay there for the time being, and they may have to fight, but the mission in what has become America`s longest war is far different than when it began in October of 2001.

圣诞节后几天，美国阿富汗作战任务正式结束。这是什么意思?也就是大约10000名美国军事人员目前仍将在那里,他们也许会投入到战斗任务,但这项已成为美国持续战争时间最长的任务同2001年10月开始时已经截然不同。
