The head of the NYPD’s Patrolmen Benevolent Association the Union which represents rank and file cops is known for making outrageous statements against citizens irrespective of the charge or allegations leveled against his members.
His comments has become so outrageous and outlandish that he is now seen as a total moron who no one listens to anymore.
Patrick Lynch has lost all credibility even some of the very people whom he represents wants to see the back of this ignorant goon.
The latest incident in which Lynch showed just how ignorant a Jack-Ass he is involves the case of mistaken identity involving former tennis star James Blake.
Mister Blake was grabbed by NYPD cop James Frascatore outside a New York City hotel as he stood waiting on his ride to take him to an event. Frascatore was seen on video grabbing and slamming Blake to the pavement before cuffing him.
The NYPD later said it was a case of mistaken identity . The Department alleges that Frascatore and other cops were involved in a sting operation which involved the investigation of credit card fraud and a suspect who resembled mister Blake.
Of course the NYPD cannot just go up to an alleged credit card suspect and arrest him , every suspect must be violently thrown to the ground as initial punishment before a trial or conviction.[sic]
The Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) which investigated the matter ruled that Frascatore used excessive force in effecting the arrest, which I remind you was a wrong arrest to begin with. The 4 year veteran of the NYPD Frascatore is reported to have several other complaints of excessive force pending against him.
Despite this, Patrick Lynch spouting the same garbage we are used to said, the CCRB gave Blake’s case special treatment.
The union head went further saying that Frascatore did nothing wrong and even shook hands with Blake after realizing he was not the suspected credit card fraudster his plainclothes NYPD team was seeking.
Frascatore “detained the person the way he’s trained to do — handcuff him,” he said. “There was a pat on the back, a handshake and everyone left. This police officer responded to his training.”
So there for those who did not know according to Patrick Lynch the NYPD is trained to throw people to the ground and kneel on them even before they are sure they are involved in committing an offence.
And oh by the way after a violent unlawful arrest citizens should be happy to receive a handshake and a pat on the back.
The nerve of this absolute idiot.
NOT TO BE OUTDONE
Meanwhile another thug in uniform , the head of the Captains Endowment Association Roy Richter charged bias in another ruling against another member of the NYPD .
Richter was commenting on the case involving former lieutenant Brian McCaughey now Captain, promoted even though there was an outstanding allegation of improper use of force against him .
Brian McCauhey was accused of pointing his gun at two skinny kids harmlessly playing tag on a Brooklyn street — and profanely ordering the pair to drop face down.
“Motherf — –, get on the ground!” a hyped-up Brian McCaughey shouted with his weapon needlessly drawn, according to relatives of two boys and other sources. He then handcuffed 13-year-old Kesean Smalls as frightened 12-year-old Jahniel Hinds cowered behind his mother on the evening of Sept. 13, 2013, according to family members. Minutes earlier, the boys were playing tag outside their homes on Quincy St. in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Hinds bolted in terror as his friend Smalls was cuffed and grilled by another cop, family members said. “We were playing. As we were running towards each other that’s when they started aiming their guns and everything,”
The boys were only released when one of their moms intervened. Needless to say in this case also the cops were too stupid to realize they had the wrong persons. In this case according to New York Daily News report they were four blocks from where they were sent. Another case of mistaken identity.
McCaughey, who was a lieutenant at the time of the incident, pleaded guilty and agreed to the docking of 30 vacation days as his penalty in the case investigated by the Citizens Complaint Review Board. NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton must still sign off on the deal. “Pointing a gun at two young boys, who had done nothing other than play tag on their own street, was a reckless use of force that traumatized them and created an extremely dangerous situation,” said CCRB executive director Mina Malik.
Rather that shut his stupid mouth and have this matter go away Richter revealed once again that NYPD cops do not believe the laws apply to them.They clearly see themselves above the laws. They fundamentally believe they are part of a special club which makes them immune to being held accountable.
In responding to the verdict Richter said “It reveals their true bias against anyone wearing a uniform and their need for public floggings at the expense of due process of rights of officers,”.
An ignorant statement coming from the lips of a moron.
McCaughey plead guilty to the charges.
There are no allegations of impropriety in the way the investigations were conducted by the CCRB.
Totally unlike the thousands of innocent people who have been wrongly framed and imprisoned on trumped up and concocted evidence by members of the NYPD.
Every year more and more citizens are being released from prisons after evidence comes to light of the criminal conduct NYPD cops engage in to send innocent people to jail for crimes they did not commit.
Most shocking in all this is that this particular cop was promoted despite having an unresolved case involving excessive use of force against him.
How can anyone trust these thugs in uniform ? Nevertheless it seem to be the norm for all the union heads within the NYPD . The head of the Sergeants Union Ed Mullins openly called Mayor Bill de Blasio a nincompoop.
Clearly these boys are little more than glorified thugs who have zero respect for duly constituted authority be it oversight of what they do or even the city-wide elected leaders who are their bosses.
Yet everyday they demand respect from the very people who pay their salaries and provide generous pension and health plans for them and their families.
It’s a darn disgrace.….
