VIDEO: Sergeant’s Indictment Prompts Outpouring of Support

At the podium, Ed Mullins, president of the NYPD Sergeants Benevolent Association, flanked by big city police union presidents from around the country.

In New York City, the Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) is fighting back hard at what they say is the latest travesty of justice suffered by Sgt. Hugh Barry at the hands of corrupt politicians.

Sgt. Barry was recently indicted for murder for mortally wounding an emotionally disturbed person who attacked him with a baseball bat in the Bronx in October, 2016.

“The murder indictment of Sgt. Barry sent shock waves through the policing profession,” said SBA President Ed Mullins. “The handling of this case by so many elected and appointed officials was an absolute disaster. It has shown that they will disregard the facts and have no qualms about ruining a hardworking officer’s life by offering a false narrative that was created and fueled by criminal apologists.”

As soon as the word went out that the SBA scheduled a press conference on the indictment, police union leaders from Los Angeles, San Jose, Oklahoma City, San Francisco, Omaha, Miami-Dade County, Chicago, New Jersey and many other states and municipalities flew to NYC to stand behind their brothers and sisters from the NYPD in support of Sgt. Barry.

Representatives of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, San Jose Police Officers’ Association, Oklahoma City FOP, and the Chicago FOP all spoke at the event.

“The selective targeting of police officers by opportunistic politicians after sensitive incidents has to stop and local politicians must increase funding and programs to treat our growing population with mental health issues” said Sgt. Paul Kelly, president of the San Jose Police Officers’ Association. “Police officers are being ambushed and assassinated on a regular basis. Many of the killers are mentally ill and emboldened by the prevalent anti-police rhetoric. Police organizations are attending this event at their own expense from thousands of miles away to voice their support for Sgt. Barry and to denounce politicians that want to use police officers as political pawns.”
