Patrick Lynch is the sound of a spoon being pounded on a highchair

One must begin to wonder if Patrolmen's Benevolent Association Patrick Lynch isn't going to get someone hurt or worse. After yesterday's "discussion" about relations with the mayor's office, Lynch's supporters began shoving officers who dared disagree with him. So he has supporters around him who don't think they should answer to the mayor's office and voters of New York City (**BZZT BZZT Police State Police State**) but now they try and intimidate physically officers more interested in getting better bullet proof vests and better cars on the road than just demanding an apology from Mayor de Blasio. Guess turning your backs on him despite a widow's wishes wasn't enough. Here, read for yourself:

The Daily News' witness told the paper that one cop responded by telling Lynch that he was focusing on a matter immaterial to the day-to-day lives of officers, which sparked the face-off between pro- and anti-Lynch factions within the NYPD.

"This is what my members want: they want more cars, better vests, more manpower," one cop shouted, according to the sources. "They don't want an apology."

Another union member told Lynch: "I don't care about an apology. I want to know what you're going to do to protect us."

So now the NYPD is divided and in NO WAY can Lynch blame the Mayor for this. This is his tantrum and sooner or later an innocent will pay for it. The NYPD gave out ZERO tickets in Times Square New Year's Eve. How's that for policing?

Get over yourself Mr. Lynch.

The NYPD turning their backs on Mayor de Blasio was beyond disrespectful

Johnny felt the NYPD turning their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio during the funeral processions and eulogy of NYPD Detective Rafael Ramos was the height of poor taste. Today was all about the sacrifice made by Detective Ramos for ALL the citizens of New York City. He was an officer OF the city, not just serving the police union. What did the police unions do? They made it about themselves which is simply distasteful. The contingent of cops that turned their backs on the Mayor who was elected by 73% of city residents had better understand whom they work for. NYC is not a police state. The NYPD falls under the purview of non-police officials for a reason. Get with the program boys and girls or go be cops somewhere else.
