DEA AND PBA EXPRESS CONCERNS
TO QUEENS DISTRICT ATTORNEY
(Queens, N.Y., December 4, 2006) The heads of the two unions representing
the five NYPD officers involved in the shooting last weekend in
Queens will meet with Queens District Attorney Richard Brown to
seek a complete, thorough and unbiased investigation of the facts
in the case.
DEA
president Michael Palladino said:
"In meeting with District
Attorney Brown, I expect to reach a comfort level that our detectives
will have a level playing field. They are entitled to a
fair and impartial investigation and due process."
PBA
president Patrick J. Lynch said:
“We are meeting with
the Queens DA today to stress the need for a fair review of this
case that is free of outside political pressures. These five
law enforcement officers were risking their lives to rid a community
of crime and guns and they have earned the right to a dispassionate
review of the facts. We cannot ask the men and women of law
enforcement to risk everything for the benefit of our city without
promising to judge their actions on the facts and the facts alone.”
