Perp convicted of attacking NYPD cops in Times Square sentenced to prison; Patrick Hendry says it’s not enough
The PBA president is quoted in amNY: “We’re glad that this vicious cop-basher is staying behind bars, but a few years in jail aren’t going to change him. He attacked two New York City police officers while he was out on supervised release for a previous crime. He has zero respect for the law and cannot be allowed back on our streets. If he’s in the country illegally, he needs to be deported immediately upon completing his sentence.”

Killer of NYPD Officer Cecil Sledge up for parole; Patrick Hendry calls process ‘torture for the families’
The PBA president is quoted in the NY Post: “It is shameful that they are forced to deliver their victim impact statement to a random parole board member who may not be on the panel deciding the case. Every parole board member who sits on the panel should be required to look these grieving families in the eye and hear their story before they vote to put another ruthless cop-killer back on the streets.”

Patrick Hendry, NYC workers, commuters praise axing of congestion pricing tolls
The PBA president is quoted in the NY Post: “As we’ve said from the beginning, police officers shouldn’t be forced to dig deeper into their own pockets just to report for duty. The congestion tax is just one more factor driving talented police officers away from the NYPD at a time when we can least afford it. We welcome any change that will reduce the burden on our members.”
