The Police Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBANYPD) blasted anti-cop Mayor Bill deBlasio following these most recent attacks on police officers.
Mayor DeBlasio posted a tweet condemning the attacks on Sunday morning.
This was a premeditated assassination attempt against New York’s Finest. It was also an attack on ALL New Yorkers and everything we believe in. This MUST be a city where everyone can live in peace and respect. This individual attempted to destroy that. We will not let him win.

The SBANYPD responded to deBlasio’s tweets.
Mayor DeBlasio, the members of the NYPD are declaring war on you! We do not respect you, DO NOT visit us in hospitals. You sold the NYPD to the vile creatures, the 1% who hate cops but vote for you. NYPD cops have been assassinated because of you. This isn’t over, Game on!

The SBANYPD then tweeted support for President Trump’s statement — “Send in the Feds!”
President Trump is 100% correct. NYS & NYC need the support of the Department of Justice. Criminals are being released, it’s time we prosecute in Federal Court. The Mayor is ruining NYC, cops have been stopped from doing their jobs. NYC is under siege. Send in the Feds
