During a press conference on Thursday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio sharply criticized The Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA), the largest New York Police Department (NYPD) union, accusing them of “fomenting hatred.”
“The [Sergeants Benevolent Association] has only practiced division, they foment hatred… they do not try to help us move forward,” de Blasio declared. “They don’t try to create anything good. I have no respect for the leadership of the SBA.”
SBA president Ed Mullins blasted the incompetent, far-left mayor: “This is the first time since he’s been in office that he’s told the truth. The City knows he hates cops and accountability, thank him for finally being honest.”
“NYPD is losing the city of New York,” Mullins had told Fox News Channel when police were told to stand down in the face of protests and riots. “We have no leadership right now from City Hall to the brass of the NYPD. The men and women are being pelted with rocks, bricks. Cars lit on fire, and this is continuous.”
