A top New York Police Department union warned Tuesday that the ongoing feud between Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio is “putting police officers in danger” as the leaders fight over how to handle the ongoing riots and protests in the Big Apple.
“Rank-and-file New York City police officers were out on the street last night doing our job. Tonight, we’ll go out and do it again,” NYC Police Benevolent Association (PBA) President Patrick Lynch said in a statement ahead of more protests Tuesday night. “It’s not our fault that our city and state governments can’t plan and work together, but we are suffering the consequences.”
