The union representing New York City Police Department officers unanimously approved on Wednesday “no confidence†resolutions against Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) and Police Commissioner James O’Neill.
The city’s nearly 400-delegate Police Benevolent Association (PBA) called for Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to fire both de Blasio and O’Neill immediately or for the officials to resign.
The group also blasts the commissioner for his recent decision to fire Daniel Pantaleo — the officer accused of killing Eric Garner in 2014 — and criticizes the mayor because he “unlawfully interfered†in Pantaleo’s dismissal, according to a PBA news release.
