Lynch previously did himself and police officers elsewhere no favors when he basically said that if Eric Garner couldn't breathe then he couldn't speak and say "I can't breathe" several times, even though it seemed from the footage that Garner's pleas were getting fainter and fainter.
Patrick Lynch previously saying what he did: he isn't a medical examiner, but he plays one on TV?
all members of the NYPD police union should now file a class action suit against de Blazio and Sharpton and others for incitement to commit murder of police officers
Patrick Lynch needs to show composure - if anyone does it should be him.
He also stated that after the funeral’s of these officers, those responsible would be held accountable.
Not sure what that meant as the killer is deceased. Unless he plans on going after the Sharpton’s and such. Not sure what can be done (if anything) from a legal standpoint.
If Lynch made those statements, and I believe you are correct, that demonstrates clumsy public relations, and makes a volatile situation that much worse.
Save those remarks for when you’re at home behind closed doors, not in front of cameras and a microphone.
Sure let's not mention how Obama, Holder, Sharpton and Wilhelm incite people by perpetuating lies.
Unbelievable.
I understand the police union’s anger. Unlike the people whose a$$ deblasio kisses, they will not commit barbaric, subhuman acts.
Palin was blamed for the Safeway shooting of Giffords just for putting “Don’t Retreat” and a crosshairs on a political flyer.
Those who were responsible for the shouting of, “What do we want? Dead cops.” should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for inciting violence.
One can question the nature of some of the recent deaths at the hands of police without rooting for someone to go out and shoot a police officer. Or does the First Amendment no longer apply where police actions are concerned and is everything a police officer does appropriate?

US Citizens blame Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton for the deaths of the Benghazi 4...until these cheats, liars, and self-appointed elites are driven out of office and ARRESTED, TRIED, and IMPRISONED - nothing will be done about the state of affairs that this nation as found itself in presently...
Ever since Obama gratuitously injected himself into a minor event in Cambridge, MA, he has shown himself to be an anti-police racist. Ditto Holder. Neither has spoken out forcibly telling the mobs both the Gardner and Brown killings were thoroughly investigated and the police exonerated. Instead, they both, especially Holder, have been far more vocal in criticizing the police, leaving the impression they are guilty despite what the grand juries concluded. The statements both have issued condemning the killing of these two officers seem totally hollow in comparison.
Sharpton and De Blasio are in a class of their own. The former is a cheap demagogue who exploits racial animosity for fun and profit and always has. Remember Tawana? De Blasio could have stood up for his police, especially after the grand jury rendered its verdict, but instead he chose to inflame the situation with stories such as he told about his son.
What Lynch said was right, if impolitic, and his critics ought look at those who created the toxic atmosphere which contributed to these deaths, and not Lynch.
These idiots won't be happy until there is violence against people of Traditional Values.
Lynch is looking out for his membership, that’s what a union does. Whether or not you agree with him two of his members have just been brutally murdered a little over twenty four hours ago so who can blame him for feeling as he does. The New York City Police Department is the largest police force in the world. No other police agency deals with what the NYPD does day in year out. I worked in NYC for almost fifteen years. I wouldn’t their job. This dirtbag of a mayor should resign immediately. He has no integrity or credibility and he has never had the support of the police. Without that the job of the mayor is virtually impossible and the city is ungovernable.
The mayor’s name ain’t DeBlasio, by the way, he changed it from Wilhelm. Second, he’s a longtime communist, admirer of Csstro and Nicaragua and traveled to Cuba illegally; there is nothing positive about this individual. I have no sympathy for DeBlasio whatever; the police did exactly the right thing in turning their backs on him.
The killer acting alone is responsible for the assassinations. But, the race baiters (political and MSM) that fomented the actions must be sharply condemned.
The bottom line is if Garner didn’t resist arrest he’d still be alive today.
He’s raysust!/s
oh yay... another anti-cop thread to add to the flood here lately.
The primary purpose for having any government to begin with is to protect our life, liberty and property. The government can’t do that if they are terrified of even looking cross-eyed at a bad guy for fear of the thug having a rotten-health induced heart attack. Your Sharpton propaganda here is pure garbage.
these are the words of a leftist in meltdown.
