MEDIA ADVISORYPBA to Honor Cop Who Gunned Down Council Member The New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association (PBA) tomorrow (Wednesday, Dec. 17) will honor Detective Richard Burt, whose swift reaction and expert marksmanship prevented further bloodshed after Council Member James Davis was assassinated in City Hall last June. Burt, who gunned down Davis’ assassin, will be among 43 New York City police officers and one Suffolk County cop being honored by the police union as the “Finest of the Finest.” PBA President Patrick J. Lynch will host the awards luncheon, traditionally
held twice a year at Manhattan’s Water Club. The officers – accompanied
by their friends and family – will be feted and presented with plaques commemorating
feats of valor, compassion and resourcefulness ranging from daredevil rescues
to dangerous shootouts. .
