Personal Comment

The Unredacted Report is being sent to the FBI, Inspector General, NYPD, Attorney General, and the Media. I have the highest respect for the police and the badge. I am a strong law enforcement supporter. It needs to be noted that there are bad apples in every organization. The people involved in this illegal activity are not an accurate reflection of police officers around the United States who are serving with honor.
