PBA president Patrick J. Lynch reacted to a videotape released
by an attorney showing defendants claiming self defense in the
beating of police officer Eric Hernandez saying:
“There is nothing that anyone can say or
show me that could come close to justifying the beating of a
human being the way these four animals beat police officer Eric
Hernandez. The beating they gave him set in motion events that
resulted in his death and they must be held fully accountable
for it.”
