PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the NY Post: “The sentence is not nearly enough. This individual tried to run down a New York City police officer. She could have killed him. We’re glad she is going behind bars instead of walking free, but our justice system needs to send a message that there will be zero leniency for attacks on police officers.”
PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the NY Post: “Our criminal justice system is broken. It needs to change, it needs to hold criminals accountable…(These defendants) had multiple firearms, they were drinking, they were in a car, they were planning their next act, they weren’t afraid to get caught. They weren’t afraid to commit a crime because they thought if they did, they’d be back on the streets. This time they aren’t.”
PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the Daily News: “Elected leaders’ words matter, but their actions matter more. An apology will not improve police officers’ quality of life. It will not protect them from being assaulted by dangerous repeat offenders or having their rights trampled by the CCRB. Those are the issues we are focused on now, and they’re the same ones we’ll be discussing with the next mayor after Election Day.”
PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted at cbsnews.com: "On a daily basis they are taking officers to go to transit, they're taking police officers to go to crime areas and they're taking them out of those communities where they need police officers, too…Just in the last four and a half years, we lost over 15,000 police officers. That's a staggering number.”
