PBA statement on plea deal for 9/11 masterminds

“It was heartbreaking and infuriating to get a call from the families of 9/11 heroes who just learned about this plea agreement. Their loved ones’ sacrifice is being disrespected, and they are being victimized all over again. These individuals masterminded an attack on our nation that not only claimed 2,977 lives that day, but has claimed thousands more in the years since. Their crime merits the ultimate punishment. There should be no plea deal and absolutely no leniency.”

PBA statement on plea agreement in Times Square gang assault

“The sentence should absolutely be longer, but we’re glad that this individual is pleading guilty to a felony and will continue serving time for this brazen attack on our brothers. However, the important test will come once his sentence is up. He needs to be deported immediately upon release, without setting another foot on our city streets. And there are several other defendants who had an even bigger role in this vicious attack whose cases are still pending. We will be watching to make sure they face justice.”

PBA statement on resignation of CCRB chairperson

“A leadership change at CCRB is very welcome news for hard-working police officers who have had their careers derailed by anti-police activists on CCRB’s board. The PBA has been calling for new appointments to CCRB’s board who can instill fairness in its decision-making processes and bring it in line with its City Charter mandate. Unfair treatment at CCRB doesn’t just destroy police officers’ morale — it jeopardizes public safety by driving even more cops out of the NYPD amid the ongoing staffing crisis.”

PBA statement on verdict against Police Officer

“This verdict will send a chilling message to every police officer. These prosecutors and the court are effectively telling police officers we can’t do our job. The community called the police because this individual was intoxicated and out of control on the streets. When our police officer arrived, he attempted to de-escalate the situation. That’s when this individual attacked him, threw him to the ground and put his hand around our police officer’s neck. Cops are being violently attacked on the streets every day. If this is what happens when we try to protect ourselves, we won’t be able to protect the public. We believe this verdict ignores all the facts and we will be helping our police officer appeal it immediately.”

PBA statement on Police officer death during training

“New York City police officers are getting viciously attacked and injured because of the message on the streets. The message is that the system favors criminals over cops. Criminals who assault police officers are seeing no jail time, while cops are getting buried with paperwork and hammered with civilian complaints for doing our job. We need our leaders to work together to make our justice system do its job. But we also need regular New Yorkers to send their own message: we support our cops, not criminals and their anti-police activist allies.”
