STATEMENT OF PBA PRESIDENT PATRICK J. LYNCH ON THE POLICE SHOOTING OF A MAN WITH AN AUTOMATIC WEAPON WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE 67 PRECINCT

“We need to re-instill the fear of the law and the fear of authority in these career criminals who don’t think twice about shooting at a police officer. We can do that by making the law stronger and penalties more harsh, swift, and sure. These miscreants need to learn that shooting an officer of the law will cost them dearly.”
