“The hard part to watch was actually these fantastic public servants heading out there, doing their jobs and being dealt with like they do not matter, and as a city, I know we’re much better than that,” he said.
The NYPD states in both cases, no arrests were made and the firm is investigating.
The Police Benevolent Association blamed the mayor’s policies and stated in circumstances like this, officers need to do something about it.
