PBA Statement on Wiley’s Defund Proposal

PBA President Patrick J. Lynch said:

“Wiley is yet another ideologue peddling the false choice between caring for our communities and keeping them safe. Wiley’s ‘Defund The Police’ allies have already taken 3,000 cops off our streets. Declining public safety and rising violence have disproportionately impacted the high-need families she claims to want to help. Our communities don’t need cable news talking points — we need balanced solutions that work in the real New York City.”
