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.

Bloomie and his sidekick Ray Ray had a meltdown yesterday like children being told to put their toys away

First things first, nearly 70% of New Yorkers support city council installing an Inspector General to oversee the department. With the way Mayor Bloomberg has called the NYPD his "personal army" and NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly has run amok on #OWS, his stop and frisk program and the horribly botched Muslim surveillance that seemed to start in New Jersey (still not part of New York) it is high time to add a layer of accountability between Bloomberg and Kelly and the citizenry.

Accountability? Bloomberg laughs at your stupid head. HE is the accountability:

"Yes there is. It's called the Mayor...The police commissioner in our city works for the mayor serves at the pleasure of the mayor..."

Next sentence:

"I can just tell you I'm not a professional in this.."

No shit.

See Kelly and Bloomberg are saying unless they can profile, unless they can run spying operations far and wide, unless they can basically go about their business as THEY please with zero oversight, we're all dead people:

This is life and death, this isn't playing some game… 

Kelly really took things to unbelievable heights in his temper tantrum calling the bill:

'Full Employment for Plaintiffs Attorneys Act'…Take heart Al Qaeda wannabes." 

Bitter much Ray-Ray? This is the problem with people like Bloomberg and Kelly who are used to getting their own way and really aren't into answering for their actions. They think they're special. They think some oversight shield comes with their jobs. Wrong. Hell, when told that his canard of saying lawyers will make lots of coin for their clients if the Inspector General bill passes was wrong and the new bill allows for NO monetary relief, Bloomberg in typical Bloomberg style said:

"It doesn't matter..."

Yes, Mayor Mike, it does. And the city council WILL pass the IG law which if you really don't think allows you to do your job the way you see fit you can leave early. The third term was a mistake anyway.
