In a Daily News opinion column, PBA President Patrick Hendry makes the case for keeping repeat violent offenders off the streets.
PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the Daily News, Newsday, Politico, Gothamist NY Times, Fox 5 News and 1010 WINS: “…The challenges confronting police officers remain the same. We are critically understaffed, massively overworked and completely unsupported by a justice system and an oversight regime that care more about punishing cops than helping us get dangerous criminals off the streets.”
PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the Daily News, NY Post, amNY, ABC 7 News, NBC 4 News, New York 1, and CBS radio. Hendry said the criminal justice system is “failing New Yorkers. When (this officer) responded to that robbery in progress, he confronted this individual and he didn’t know what he was confronting. He didn’t know he was confronting someone who was arrested 17 times…and someone who was arrested seven times while he was on lifetime parole. Why was he out on the street? Each time he was arrested, why wasn’t he remanded?”
