Do you have a better solution? Not that I think the GOPe has any answers at all, but your castigation is about as helpful as another Al Sharpton Rallye

It may not be helpful in your eyes but it is accurate.

How about uniting under what the GOPe hates, Ted Cruz!

Who I don't believe is a fan of unions himself.

They will not leave. Why simple they have no choice the city steals there union dues before they even get there paychecks. Gov Walker proved that in Wisconsin stop the taking of dues from peoples salary checks and most quit there unions. 85% quit once the state said we will no longer do a dues checkout. Want to sto anal cavity people like him and all the rest of the left wingers take the labor union money away from them.....there members will quit.....

This statement may cost him his job, but it was necessary to declare war. de Blasio will likely fire him, which will result in a whopper of a lawsuit, and from that moment the war will become hot.

Importantly, there are no limits to such a war, and it might even turn into the police ignoring a real threat to de Blasio’s life. Even Roman Caesars were taken down when they threatened their Praetorian Guards.

I think Pat Lynch is beyond the reach of de Blasio being a union employee and no longer a LEO.

Unions persue socialism-i.e. EVIL
Conservative GOP persue individual freedom

Clearly you choose EVIL

So then I assume you are standing with De Blasio and against the police union in this matter?

Unions COULD BE an association of free men and women who group together to oppose the obviously superior power of management.

A “public employee union” is an oxymoron.

Unfortunately, corruption and the desire for power is endemic.

A spokeswoman for de Blasio scolded Lynch for his remarks.

"It's unfortunate that in a time of great tragedy, some would resort to irresponsible, overheated rhetoric that angers and divides people,"

Two words: pot, kettle

Good grief, you leftwing kooks are extraordinarily stupid.

Police & Military “unions” are faaaar different from labor & teacher unions, the latter being controlled by leftwing communists, and responsible for the deteriorating quality of their workplace industries - especially the Big Govt education industry which is not only a total failure but a danger to “the children” with their socialist indoctrination.

D-Dog, get the hell out of America and go to your communist utopia in Cuba or North Korea.

My understanding is that the NYPD is about half white officers. So many minority cops are united in feeling denigrated, insulted, unhappy with worthless communist De Blasio.

NYC being so diverse you have
Asians/Chinese
Hispanics from many different Hispanic nations
Blacks...some with Caribbean origin

In the ranks of the NYPD
