“The NY State Court of Appeals has done the people of New
York City a great service by permanently removing Laura Blackburne,
a notorious cop-hater, from the Queens Supreme Court bench. In
their decision they found that Blackburne’s ‘…rash
and reckless decision to release onto the street a suspected violent
felon potentially posed a danger to the public’ and that
her ‘dangerous actions exceeded all measure of acceptable
judicial conduct.’ The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association
and its 50,000 active and retired members salute the NY State
Court of Appeals for this courageous decision. As a judge, Laura
Blackburne was a blemish on the outstanding record of service
provided to this city by all those who serve on the bench with
honor and dignity.”
