PBA President’s statement on no bail for teenaged criminals

PBA president Patrick J. Lynch said:

“Pandering for votes during his quest for the presidency, Mayor de Blasio seems to be hellbent on the destruction of civilized society in NYC.  Releasing teens who have committed armed robberies or serious assaults flies in the face of every police officer working to fight crime. We risk our lives to protect the citizens of the city while pandering politicians do everything possible to fight our success.  ‘Progress’ like this will doom this city and crash its economy by making our streets dangerous once again.”
