NYPD union boss Pat Lynch says shooter felt emboldened to open fire on cop

Thank you Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio for setting the stage for New York's destruction way before Covid started.

 Cuomo  and De Blasio have done more to foster anti-cop sentiment than any other governor amd mayor duo NY has ever had.  

NY Post reports a culture that coddles — and emboldens — criminals led to the Christmas Eve shooting of an NYPD officer in Brooklyn, according to the head of the city’s largest police union.

The 27-year-old cop was likely saved by his bullet proof vest after being shot in the back while responding to a domestic dispute just after 9 p.m. Thursday in Crown Heights, police said.

Flanked by Mayor Bill de Blasio and other city officials at Kings County Hospital, Police Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch said afterwards that the suspect had no fear of shooting at New York’s Finest.

“Why does a perp feel bold enough to shoot at a police officer? That’s the question we have to ask and we have to answer. There’s a number of reasons this is happening. Lack of support on the street, defunding the police, bail reform, lack of prosecution. That’s why this is happening,” Lynch said.
