June 2000: Lynch argued that Bruce Springsteen’s song about four NYPD officers shooting and killing an unarmed 23-year-old named Amadou Diallo was interfering with those (acquitted) officers’ “healing”:

"Singer Bruce Springsteen has begun performing in concert a song called “American Skin”—the title seems to suggest that the shooting of Amadou Diallo was a case of racial profiling—which keeps repeating the phrase, “Forty-one-shots.” I consider it an outrage that he would be trying to fatten his wallet by reopening the wounds of this tragic case at a time when police officers and community members are in a healing period, and I have let his representatives and the press know how I feel about this song."

2. Must be nice to live in the clouds like fuckwad Lynch.

The worst thing is I bet he was a cop before he became head cheerleader for police brutality.

3. Lynch is a wanna be. He should join the military

If he thinks the streets of New York is war. More republican big man talk but doesn't have the fortitude to actually go to another country and defend himself.

4. This guy is a grade A asshole. I can't believe any DUers support his crap. Yet some do.

At least 16, according to that poll about the cops turning their backs on the mayor.

6. Well in all fairness

somebody has to lick the boots of The Man! And they get mad when we call them sheeple. I guess the truth really does hurt.

[Enthusiast]

9. Those 16? They're probably also wrong on every other issue.

Fuck 'em. That's what I say.

[Cha]

7. I consider it an "outrage" that Pat Lynch is the head of the Police Union when he's such

an obvious whining asshole.

8. he's a lunatic. his words were beyond inflammatory
