In reply to the discussion: LOL, cops start beating each other up at NYPD union meeting over DeBlasio protests [View all]1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)67. A couple of things ...
First, notice where the lines were drawn ... Manhattan cops supporting Lynch; whereas, Brooklyn and Bronx cops opposing him. Is it too much to guess that the cops most directly in the "line of fire" (Brooklyn and the Bronx) are more concerned with their on the job risk, than some show of strength?
Secondly,
I don't care about an apology. I want to know what you're going to do to protect us."
I'm wondering if they are seeking protection from the repercussions of going along with Lynch's slow down scheme?
