| NYPD officer unions taught the NYC mayor a lesson in 2014. He hasn’t forgotten it.
The chant was hard to decipher through a bullhorn on a Tribeca street Sunday night, all the more so because the message was a bit unfamiliar. But, listen to the video posted online enough times, and you can make out what the protester was yelling: “Fuck the PBA!” That’s the commonly used initialism of the Police Benevolent Association, the largest union representing NYPD officers – and the [url=https://www.nycpba.org/about-the-pba/who-we-are/#:~:text=The Police Benevolent Association of,police union in the world.]largest[/url] municipal police union in the world. The average New Yorker may not know anything about the PBA and its counterpart, the Sergeants Benevolent Association, or SBA, but the two unions are arguably as responsible for the current state of New York City policing as Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner Dermot Shea. (New York City has a total of five police unions that often have similar views, but the lieutenants, detectives and captains unions are much smaller.)
