NYPD: PBA Tells NY What To Do With It’s Outrage Over Eric Garners Killing

The PBA which rep­re­sents NYPD offi­cers held a press con­fer­ence August 5^th 2014. The pur­pose of the Press Conference as they saw it, was to push back at what they see as slan­der of the NYPD by peo­ple who spoke out against them killing 43 year-old unarmed Asthmatic Eric Garner.

Of course, they were quick to name their reg­u­lar whip­ping boy Al Sharpton one of only a few black Americans with the balls to chal­lenge them when they abuse and kill blacks.

Patrick Lynch is well paid to make state­ments in defense of Cops., what he does­n’t real­ize is that he makes him­self less and less rel­e­vant each time he makes these state­ments in sup­port of his col­leagues. Lynch’s com­ments are rel­e­vant to his col­leagues and those who hero-wor­ship cops, no one else.

Police offi­cers are paid to pro­tect the pub­lic. The NYPD has devel­oped a cul­ture of arro­gance which have them believ­ing they are exempt from obey­ing the laws. Separate and apart from phys­i­cal assaults and ques­tion­able killings, they have a his­to­ry of fal­si­fy­ing reports to put peo­ple they do not like in prison.

Lynch insist that the deceased Eric Garner was warned about being in that area a week ear­li­er. That state­ment speaks vol­umes about the atti­tude of NYPD’s offi­cers, who clear­ly have a God com­plex. It is fair to deduce that Eric Garner need­n’t have com­mit­ted any breach of the law on the day he was killed, as some onlook­ers insist (he had­n’t). His mere pres­ence would have been enough for him to be bru­tal­ly assault­ed and sub­se­quent­ly killed in a choke hold by NYPD cops.

Operating ful­ly as expect­ed they tar­get­ed the young man who video-taped them killing Eric Garner. Ramsey Orta was arrest­ed for Criminal pos­ses­sion of a firearm. Now grant­ed that mis­ter Orta may have a less than stel­lar record , what are the chances the NYPD arrest­ed him pass­ing a gun to a female com­pan­ion as they claimed ? Ramsey Orta’s wife com­plained that NYPD cops staked out their house,and shone lights into their home after he video­taped them killing Eric Garner.

Many peo­ple have long seen some cops includ­ing some in the NYPD as com­mon Gangsters,. If this is true, and there is no rea­son not to believe her, these cops are out of con­trol and are no dif­fer­ent from reg­u­lar mafioso.

PATRICK lYNCH

On the death of Eric Garner.

“That atti­tude is a direct result of the lack of respect for law enforce­ment result­ing from the slan­der­ous, insult­ing and unjust man­ner in which police offi­cers are being por­trayed by race baiters, politi­cians, pun­dits and even elect­ed offi­cials. We are here today to send a mes­sage to all crim­i­nals in every com­mu­ni­ty across our city that the charge of resist­ing arrest is a very seri­ous and dan­ger­ous crime.”

Clearly what Patrick Lynch, who is hired by the Taxpaying cit­i­zens of the City of New York, is telling res­i­dents is, “as long as we feel you are resist­ing we will kill you”. These are not the words of Public ser­vants Such unmit­i­gat­ed arro­gance usu­al­ly comes from Despots and Dictators.

Who works for who?

These thugs demon­stra­bly do not have any respect for the peo­ple who pay their salaries. Not to be out­done the SBA Sergeants Benovolent Assc. issued this state­ment from its President Edward Mullins.

“The attacks on the NYPD have become com­plete­ly dis­grace­ful and tru­ly unwar­rant­ed. Police Officer Pantaleo didn’t go to work with the inten­tion of killing any­one. He sim­ply was try­ing to do his job. Would the cir­cum­stances be dif­fer­ent today if Eric Garner was not com­mit­ting a crime or had com­plied with a law­ful order? The men and women of the NYPD are being unfair­ly tar­get­ed by bot­tom feed­ers and politi­cians who have cho­sen to pla­cate a cast of char­ac­ters whose cred­i­bil­i­ty is less than moral. These attacks on the NYPD are wrong, need to stop and the hard work­ing peo­ple of this city need to stand and sup­port the NYPD.”

Anyone who believe that NYPD’S killing of unarmed African-American and Latino men will come to an end any­time soon is gross­ly mis­guid­ed. Nothing short of Federal super­vi­sion of this Department will bring any mean­ing­ful change in atti­tude.

The prob­lem with the NYPD is one of atti­tude.They do not believe they are account­able to the cit­i­zens of New York, and God for­bid cer­tain­ly not the Black and Brown cit­i­zens of the city.

On the arrest Ramsey Orta.

“The arrest of Ramsey Orta for crim­i­nal pos­ses­sion of a firearm only under­scores the dan­gers that brought police offi­cers to respond to a chron­ic crime con­di­tion in that com­mu­ni­ty. It is crim­i­nals like Mr. Orta who car­ry ille­gal firearms who stand to ben­e­fit the most by demo­niz­ing the good work of police offi­cers. Sadly, in the effort to keep neigh­bor­hoods like Tompkinsville safe, a tragedy occurred. But that doesn’t change the fact that police offi­cers rou­tine­ly risk their lives for the ben­e­fit of the com­mu­ni­ty and that they have earned their sup­port and understanding.

I guess this is an improve­ment over pre­vi­ous instances when they tell res­i­dents shut the f*** up and call a crim­i­nal next time you need a cop. The fact is the cit­i­zens are less and less sure who is crim­i­nal from who is cop.
