The union representing New York City police officers has unanimously approved resolutions of no confidence in police Commissioner James O'Neill and Mayor Bill de Blasio
The 27-member delegate assembly of the Police Benevolent Association released the resolutions on Wednesday, calling for O'Neill's resignation and asking Gov. Andrew Cuomo to remove de Blasio from office. Both resolutions cite the recent firing of Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who was involved in the fatal arrest of Eric Garner in 2014, in part as a cause for the union's demands.
De Blasio: Justice has been done 01:05 In a statement, Freddi Goldstein, a spokesman for the mayor, called this"another attempt by the PBA to divide our city and we won't stand for it." Goldstein also said that"under this mayor and Police Commissioner, our officers and the communities they serve are closer than ever and the city is the safest it's ever been. That isn't changing.
