PBA PRESIDENT REACTS TO
MAYOR’S “EXCESSIVE
FORCE” PRONOUNCEMENT
NYC PBA president Patrick J. Lynch said: “Mayor
Bloomberg’s pronouncement that excessive force was used
is premature and not based on a full and proper investigation
of the facts. Only the detectives and police officer who
fired their weapons can explain the circumstances under which
they took action and they have not yet been heard. Premature
statements made without the benefit of all of the facts only
serve to inflame tensions and prejudice the rights of those who
are presumptively innocent.”
