PBA Lynch: Cops ‘thrown under the bus’ by de Blasio after Eric Garner decision
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association (PBA) President Patrick Lynch said on Thursday that NYPD officers felt Mayor Bill de Blasio had “thrown them under the bus” in a statement he gave about the death of Eric Garner on Wednesday.
De Blasio made his statement after the grand jury’s decision not to indict Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo in Garner’s death in Staten Island after Pantaleo allegedly used a choke hold on Garner.
Lynch said the mayor didn’t give enough credit to cops who were doing a difficult and dangerous job.
