The PBAis the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association. One of the two police unions (I was FOP, which for some reason I still think is slightly better in actually caring about public safety).
A representative of the PBA recently came to roll calls in New York City and told police officers to stop stopping anybody. If crime does go up, don’t expect the union to hold itself accountable.
Where did you hear this?
From a police officer I know.
