New York City’s Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) blasted Mayor Bill de Blasio’s leadership while praising President Donald Trump for calling out the state and city’s “lack of support” of law enforcement officials.
Two police officers were shot in the city in less than twelve hours leading to an outcry from one of the city’s police unions.
After news of the shootings, Trump took to Twitter on Sunday to blast city officials.
“Because of weak leadership at Governor Mayor, stand away (water thrown at them) regulations, and lack of support, our wonderful NYC police are under assault. “
The SBA shared Trump’s tweet on Sunday night, and said he was “100% correct.”
“President Trump is 100% correct. NYS NYC need the support of the Department of Justice. Criminals are being released, it’s time we prosecute in Federal Court. The Mayor is ruining NYC, cops have been stopped from doing their jobs. NYC is under siege. Send in the Feds.”
The SBA’s comment about criminals being released appeared to be a reference to the state’s controversial decision to eliminate cash bail for non-violent defendants.
