PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the NY Post: “We’re grateful to the judge for taking this case seriously, understanding that these are 31 police officers’ lives. Their livelihood. That she understands that they have families, understands that they have bills, understands that they have rent, understands that they were just told, ‘Hey, you’re not entitled to any process here. You’re fired,’ That is wrong.”

PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the NY Post: “We [are] grateful for the pause in these unjust firings, but this is only the first step. They did nothing wrong.

PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the Daily News: “It is absolutely disgraceful that anyone would speak up in support of releasing this cold-blooded assassin,” Hendry said. “When he pulled the trigger, he didn’t just murder a hero police officer. Eddie’s murder united this city to reclaim our neighborhoods from murderous drug gangs. We can’t allow these pro-criminal activists or the Parole Board to erase that progress by setting this cop killer free.”
