Statement on NYPD Killings

Today two members of the NYPD were brutally killed in an apparent execution in Brooklyn.  My thoughts and prayers go out to their families and all members of the department trying to keep our city safe.

Its unfortunate that our city has back tracked on 40 years of police relations.

Our NYPD have become targets of violence, and this cannot be allowed to go unanswered.

The Mayor needs to act swifty to ensure that members of the NYPD are safe on the job.  We cannot allow our fellow men and women in uniform to be targets of violence. 

The time for sitting on the sidelines while our city is torn apart is over.  Its time for the Mayor and his administration to act.  When our police are victims, everyone looses.
