On Wednesday, the Police Benevolent Association (PBA), a union that represents police officers within the New York Police Department, approved of resolutions against New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner James O’Neil.
The resolutions, unanimously backed by nearly 400 delegates, ask that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo fire both city officials based on a vote of ‘no confidence’ should either of them not immediately resign.
According to New York law, the governor does have the right to remove any city official he sees fit. And so, the city, or at least a good portion of its police officers, are asking that he do so.
Many believe this has come about due, in part, to Commissioner O’Neill’s recent decision to fire a police officer. Officer Daniel Pantaleo was accused of killing Eric Garner in 2014, in a very high-profile case. When no charges were filed against Pantaleo, tensions quieted for a bit, only to rise very quickly after an administrative judge recommended that he be fired in early August.
O’Neill took the recommendation and fired Pantaleo on August 19. This was a sure sign to the PBA that the commissioner was only interested in his own career goals and playing politics. PBA President Patrick J. Lynch blasted the commissioner’s decision in a statement that he posted on Twitter.
He said, “Police Commissioner O’Neill has made his choice: he has chosen politics and his own self-interest over the police officers he claims to lead. He has chosen to cringe in fear of the anti-police extremists, rather than standing up for New Yorkers who want a functioning police department, with cops who are empowered to protect them and their families.”
And he added, “With this decision, Commissioner O’Neill has opened the door for politicians to dictate the outcome of every single NYPD disciplinary proceeding, without any regard for the facts of the case or police officers’ due process rights.”
But what about de Blasio? He wasn’t explicitly mentioned here, although his role would naturally be held responsible for the action as well.
In recent months the city has seen a surge in anti-police attacks, many ending in violence and injuries. The New York Post has even made mention a time or two about the rise in police injuries and the lack of respect given to them.
One would think that when these kinds of actions begin to take place against “New York’s finest,” its leaders would take a stand, making it known that such activities will not be tolerated or go unpunished. But that hasn’t happened.

De Blasio, in association with the commissioner, seems content to parade himself around the nation boasting of his socialist endeavors and his less than 1% in the polls instead of making a difference for the officers and the people of New York City.
And the PBA has had enough. They tweeted on Sunday, “Our anti-police lawmakers and failed NYPD leaders have emboldened criminals to assault cops and resist arrest, so that even the most basic jobs are turning into physical confrontations.”
And nobody wants that. It makes for an even more dangerous occupation in a line of work that has far too many dangers as it is.
But when city officials such as de Blasio and Commissioner O’Neill don’t support their own, it lets criminals and even would-be criminals, know that they can get away with just about anything. Sure, they might get arrested, but with anti-cop administrators and judges, they are likely to walk away with little more than a fine, if that.
Does de Blasio really care that little for his city? Would he let crime continue to rise just so that he can line his pockets and possibly get a little bit farther in the race for the White House? It sure seems so.
However, if he can’t take care of one city, granted it is a large one, how can we expect him to take care of our entire nation? The simple answer is we can’t.
New York is headed straight for hell if its leadership doesn’t change soon/ Thankfully, the people in the city are realizing that and demanding that wrongs be righted and the current leftist brand of leadership that clearly isn’t working be ousted immediately.
We can only imagine what a failed stint at being mayor will do for de Blasio’s presidential campaign… Let’s just say it probably won’t be good.

NYPD has EVERY RIGHT to be upset RIGHT NOW! They have a complete MORON posing as a MAYOR, that struts around thinking ALL is Well, when he knows that it isn’t! All he cares about is HIMSELF! Can you even imagine what DeBlasio would do if he got WATER, or any other liquid, thrown on him? He would squeal, like the COWARD that he is! Yet, it’s OK for NYPD! When I first saw that, I assumed this person would be cuffed ASAP! What followed was TRULY SICK! These OFFICERS WERE FORCED TO WALK AWAY! You CANNOT run a CITY, the size of NYC, without LAW and ORDER! I would call a BLUE FLU DAY!
Thank GOD that these Police Officers are standing up to these selfish people. I am a strong believer in right or wrong and the way these Police Officers are being treated is very wrong.
We are suffering the same way in Philadelphia, here our Soros funded D.A. and our white guilt afflicted leftist mayor, have made being a police officer and a resident of the city, far more dangerous that it has been before.
As far as Officer Pantaleo , Obama’s Attorney General Lorretta Lynch, was holding his firing over the head of the NYPD, because they had Anthony Weiner’s laptop with his “life insurance” file. Pantaleo’s career would be spared by Lynch if the NYPD did not go to white hats in the Justice department (under President Trump there are some) with the many damaging emails (pedophilia related) that could incriminate very powerful democrats like the Clintons and Obamas. Many believe that Pantaleo’s firing means that the U.S. Justice department has received information on the Weiner laptop and are now pursuing the case against high level pedophiles.
Left wing New Yorkers should be ashamed of their childish rebel without a clue behavior towards the police considering how many N.Y. police officers gave and risked their lives to save victims on during the 9-11 terror attacks. What an ungrateful group of adolescent rebels without a clue.
Good riddance of bad rubbish.
All Police Officers in America who face all of the ugly in Society need a Strong Adminastration and Judiciary Support System to back them in what is needed to do as they were trained to do. Restricting our Police Force and not Standing for them against the Bias Media weekens the ability for holding Law and Order. All Administrations need to help with the Fabricated anti-Cop Propaganda. There needs to be a Web Site to point out the true Facts of the goings on using videos from Body and Dash Cams of the everyday regular Traffic Stops. The Media focus only on the Videos that they can twist to there agenda and only then is when the truth is shown using the full Police Body and Car Videos. If It gets out what Police Officers are confronted with on a Daily Basis they may get a different perspective.
Not having the Administrations support incidents like the Officers being made a joke of by not being able to defend themselves when attacked with people dousing them with buckets of water down players the ability of Officers doing there job efficiently.
If rolls were reversed and it was the Officers dousing those same people with buckets of water the Community would have been yelling racism and an act of violence and push for the termination of those Officers and financial retribution for there traumatic moment. The worst thing about it is that the Administration as it is know would back down and charge the Officers only to make there job easier.
The main issue in Society today it boils down to one issue when Political Correctness was forced upon us which has made Society second guess every thought they have. People have forgotten how to speak there voice and have discussions with differents of opinions which is everyone’s right and not hold there opinion against each other. Having discussions tremendously helps individual and group situations to come to a mutual agreement or understanding. PC has also caused Society to down play Respectfor others because those who believe in PC are mainly concerned only about themselves and not concerned about there actions towards others. Society has gotten to use PC as a way to get rich quick by playing the victim at any little thing they can even if there story is fabricated.
TO SAVE SOCIETY WE NEED TO ABOLISH POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND PEOPLE TO GO BACK TO ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND NOT TO HATE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE SAID SOMETHING THAT MAY HAVE OFFENDED YOU. IF SOMEONE DID SOMETHING TO OFFEND YOU THAT IS ANOTHER ISSUE. BEFORE PC WE LIVED ON AND TAUGHT OUR CHILDREN THAT “STICKS AND STONES MAY BERAK MY BONE BUT WORDS WILL NEVER HEART ME” LETTING WORDS HERT YOU AND HOLDING IT AGAINST THAT PERSON WITHOUT DISCUSSING THE DIFFERENCES IS THEN TAKING AWAY THAT INDIVIDUALS FREEDOM OF SPEACH/OPINION. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT WHICH MEANS INDIVIDUALS OPINIONAND ACTIONS ETC.
this pos is the lowest person in NYC. GET RID OF HIM NOW BY ANY MEANS
so sad, we have 5 idiots officers represent New York city and state.
Mayor, Governor, 2 Senators, and 1 Queens district low IQ Congresswoman
The Mayor and his wife were on the view today His wife praised him as the Great Public Servant of the Apple. During the Blackout he was on the phone making things happen. It was difficult for him to return to lead. He did make it to the View. MADAM BEHAR WET HER PANTS when she asked the mayor if he was going to Ban Trump from returning to NYC
well.
there’s always the CARTAGE BOX.
Our police officer’s have enough day to day stress without the idiot Deblasio causing more problems with our officer’s. This crazy demorate must be voted out of office now. In the meantime, let him walk the streets and stand down when a gun is pointed at him. I can only hope.
All Communist are alike they’re all about me,I don’t give two hoots about anybody else and that is exactly the way the communist Democrat party as they’re all about me and their party ,and when their done using anyone, they throw them under the bus! Do you wonder why they’ve spent 80 years trying to disarm America, as they are afraid what’s going to happen when they tried to impose their demonically evil agenda on them like collapsing the economy,For starters!
The bulk of NY city is DemonRAT. They elected a known communist for their mayor. He’s trashed the city, and now they are surprised? They deserve everything they get.
De Blow Me O should have been fired long time ago for his lack of support not only for the police department but the city as well.
Fier that Moron , He is disgusting
FIRE THAT SCUM BAG !
