PBA statement on CCRB discipline recommendations

PBA President Patrick J. Lynch said:

“Once again, CCRB is carrying political water for Mayor de Blasio and others who are trying to wash away their own failures during last summer’s protests. Police officers were sent out with no plan, no strategy and no support, into a dangerous environment created by politicians’ irresponsible rhetoric. As a result, dozens of cops were injured, and now dozens more are being made into scapegoats. It’s time for the NYPD to stop allowing CCRB to use its disciplinary process as a political tool.”
