NYPD Union Chief: Bill de Blasio Is the Problem

On Wednesday, Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolman’s Benevolent Association, the New York Police Department’s largest union, said, after meeting with New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, that de Blasio–not police department leaders–is the reason his association is upset. Lynch stated that the mayor has no desire to fix the broken relationship between the NYPD and City Hall.
