The PBA president is quoted in Gothamist: “New Yorkers are sick and tired of repeat offenders causing mayhem inside our retail establishments. The justice system should focus on helping us address those public safety concerns, rather than prosecuting police officers for doing their job."
PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the Daily News, Gothamist, and Newsday: “We’re going to continue to pack these courtrooms to make sure that there’s justice for our hero brother Jonathan Diller. This individual was arrested for an illegal firearm in that car. And he still, as you see in the courtroom, is not taking responsibility for it. Less than a year ago, he was arrested for an illegal firearm. Why was he back on the streets?”
