NYC too dangerous for DNC
Ed Mullins the president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association in New York City
The union representing NYPD sergeants warned the Democratic National Committee against holding its 2016 convention in Brooklyn, issuing an open letter that doubled as a broadside against a mayoral administration with which some officers have grown increasingly frustrated.
In the letter, addressed to the group Mayor Bill de Blasio wooed during its visit to New York two weeks ago, the president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, Edward D. Mullins, said the city was going “backward to the bad old days of high crime, danger-infested public spaces and families that walk our streets worried for their safety.”
He presented a city overrun with “squeegee people” and other panhandlers, with shootings on the rise and morale among police officers flagging.
