The union representing New York City Police Department officers unanimously approved on Wednesday “no confidence” resolutions against Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) and Police Commissioner James O’Neill.
The city’s nearly 400-delegate Police Benevolent Association (PBA) called for Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to fire both de Blasio and O’Neill immediately or for the officials to resign.
The group also blasts the commissioner for his recent decision to fire Daniel Pantaleo — the officer accused of killing Eric Garner in 2014 — and criticizes the mayor because he “unlawfully interfered” in Pantaleo’s dismissal, according to a PBA news release.
O’Neill’s choice to fire Pantaleo “deprived a dedicated and accomplished police officer of his livelihood,” the resolution said, adding he has not addressed working conditions and mental health supports for his officers, according to NBC News.
“Today’s votes are an unequivocal indictment of our failed leaders in City Hall and 1 Police Plaza,” PBA President Patrick Lynch said in a statement. "For years, Mayor de Blasio has demonized police officers and undermined our efforts to protect our city. For years, Commissioner O’Neill has cravenly acquiesced to the Mayor and his anti-cop allies.”
Lynch continued: "Neither can hope to regain the trust or confidence of New York City police officers. They must resign or be fired.”

As a retired lawman, I cannot imagine any self-respecting LEO who has confidence in DeBlasio, the hateful DOLT.
