Pat Lynch: ‘Outrageous’ a Judge Would Release Someone Who Attacked Police Officers

‘Thank God those police officers were who they were and brought him to the ground and arrested him’

EXCERPT:

LYNCH: "It’s outrageous that a judge would sit on that bench and look down at a person who attacked a New York City police officer on the eve of us shouldering assist a police officer who was killed in the line of duty, to say that this person who walked into a station house, struggled to get a police officer’s gun, was interviewed after the police officer subdued him and the mission was 'The voices in my head are saying kill as many police officers as possible,' and this judge can look down and say, 'You know what? We’re going to release you on your own recognizance.'"
