PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the Daily News: “He went and he put a knife to his throat, knowing he was a New York City police officer, punched him in the face repeatedly and left him to die on the street. Worse than that, he thought he was going to get away with it. The question is why did he think he was going to get away with it? He thought our criminal justice system wasn’t going to hold him accountable. New York City police officers are here today to let him know that’s not going to happen. We’re going to be here at every court appearance to make sure that this individual stays behind bars for a long, long time.”
