I'm Stephen Aboot...uh...Patrick Lynch of the WG...uh...PBA!

Patrolmen's Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch promised his members the sun, the moon and the stars - huge raises, no givebacks - and wound up winning them a pinch more than bupkis. [More]

So what they're saying is, Liberty Lynchin' Patrick of "lift a finger and die" fame is essentially incompetent?

That Patrick Lynch of the PBA is about as effective a negotiator as "Stephen Abootman of the WGA"?

Frustrated ineptitude combined with authority would explain the affinity for citizen disarmament and the proclivity for threatening violent retribution.

Thing is, Abootman was funny.

Who Needs Goebbels When You've Got The Post?

I would like to express the personal and professional thanks of 25,000 active New York City police officers for The Post's efforts to put some strength into existing gun laws," an appreciative Patrolmen's Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch wrote in a letter to The Post.

"The New York City PBA will stand shoulder to shoulder with the New York Post in its effort to force the changes in Albany that will give some judicial muscle to New York's anti-gun laws," Lynch continued. [More]

Kudos from one police state propagandist to another. I wonder how Polizeiführer Lynch's letter would sound in its original German?

I just noticed who wrote this latest Post article. And they say there are no coincidences.

We're the Only Ones Benevolent Enough

“Instead, the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association has helped Pantaleo and other officers who commit misconduct and murder earn overtime and pad their paychecks while they stay on the police force. It's disgusting and wrong. Pat Lynch should be ashamed of himself for pushing to secure this reckless and dangerous ruling that makes all New Yorkers less safe,” Carr said. [More]

"Lift a finger and die" Patrick Lynch being ashamed of anything... Good one!

We're the Only Ones Giving the Brush Off Enough

The mother of an unarmed, mentally ill teenager who could be heard on a 911 call yelling "I've got a gun!" cautioned police that she didn't think he was armed before officers killed him in a 20-bullet barrage.

But police officials insisted Tuesday that Khiel Coppin, 18, gave five officers no choice but to open fire after he suddenly charged them outside his mother's home with a black object in his hand; the object turned out to be a hairbrush...

The officers backed up and ordered him to stop, police said. When the teen refused and kept approaching them, they began shooting from a distance of 5 to 7 feet, police said.

"5 to 7 feet," and Bloomberg's highly trained ("all with at least 10 years of experience") "Only Ones" can't tell the difference between a brush and a gun? I was prepared not to even comment on this story until I read that sentence. Had he been farther away, what with moving rapidly and all, I'd have been able to accept that they couldn't be sure. And since when in their training do they let a suspect with a gun get that close?

Naturally:

Patrolmen's Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch was quick to come to the officers' defense.

Well, yeah. The kid lifted a finger.

There does seem to be something missing from this story, though, and maybe you can help me put my finger on it. We know the victim's name. We know his mother's name. We know his brother's name and his stepfather's name, and even the family attorney's name. Shoot (sorry), we even know the neighbor's name (Hi, Bernice!) Now as we all know, the Associated Press assigned three "authorized journalists" to this story (and we know their names, too), so why do I have the nagging feeling that these highly trained professional watchdogs of government left something out...? Oh well, it probably wasn't important.

We're the Only Ones Carrying Out the Intent of the Framers Enough

Undercover police officers who arrested four men on drug charges are under investigation after surveillance video proved the men they arrested committed no crime.

More of Steven Abootman...uh...Patrick Lynch's lift-a-finger-against-us-and-die "Only Ones," I see.

So happy over their ability to do whatever the hell they want to whoever the hell they want any damn time they want they're dancing with joy.

Tell me these are rare exception. Is this the behavior of any but those who know they can get away with it because they have over and over again, and who know corruption is so institutionalized into the system the exception is getting caught?

In the 6 months it took to clear the Colon brothers names, they lost their business and their savings.

Yeah, Jose and Maximo.

As ususal, the "Authorized Journalist" government watchdogs have dropped the ball again (or never bothered to pick it up).

What were the names of those lying, life-destroying thugs again...?

We're the Only Ones Sticking Up for Ourselves Enough

But on Friday, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said that as he moved from cadet to recruit to probationary police officer, Christian A. Torres, 21, was something else as well:

A serial bank robber.

On his "MySpace" page, he calls himself "The Law." Talk about a JBT mindset.

And LEO WM40 on Officer.com forums ("These Are Private Forums for Law Enforcement. We Reserve the Right to Remove Non-LEO Members, Anti-LE or Inappropriate Posts and Users Without Warning") has the self-serving, excuse-making gall to ask "Is this what NYPD's low pay is leading to?"

Whiny damn thug apologist. And they say there are no stupid questions.

I hope no one "lifted a finger against" young Christian--otherwise, Benevolent "Only One" Liberty-Lynchin' Patrick Lynch will see to it your "life [is] on the line."

Just think--if he'd tried to rob you and you shot him in self defense, you'd be in the slammer right now, thanks to NYC edicts that demand you be helpless against all predators--especially the ones on the city payroll.

We're the Only Ones Out of Uniform Enough

Let's ask Stephen Aboot ... uh ... Patrick Lynch how he feels about that.

How's that saying about making your own bed go again...?

Alien vs. Predator

Forget it. We've got a better matchup in "Authorized Journalist vs. Only One."

...Lane was arrested early yesterday on charges of punching a New York City cop in the face.

According to the police complaint, the Emmy-winning anchor yelled at the female police officer, "I don't give a f--- who you are, I'm a f---ing TV reporter, you f---ing dyke"...

This is too funny. But I do wonder what Patrick Lynch is going to do about it, since she allegedly lifted five fingers.

We're the Only Ones Lawful Enough

A police officer arrested Tuesday along with three other men who were allegedly carrying illegally defaced handguns is suspected of robbing drug dealers in Manhattan.

But lift a finger against these guys and you'll have Patrick Lynch to contend with.

Besides, who's gonna have more credibility in the courtroom: some lowlife street scum, or a sworn officer of the law?

Cops With 'Roid Rage

According to Koonce's attorney, Tweedy kicked and stomped on Koonce's head repeatedly, walking away and then returning to continue the blows as Koonce lay motionless, gurgling his own blood.

Koonce, now 28, suffered life-threatening injuries, including skull fractures and brain contusions. He spent two months in a coma.

Ah yes, out-of-control cops on steroids. But note how their supervisors have turned a blind eye to the obvious...I mean, are unaware of any problem. It's not like you'd tend to notice a subordinate doubling in size and roaring things like "NOW HULK MAD!!!"

It's a good thing Patrick Lynch wants to keep hollow points away from mere citizens, and wants us to die if we lift a finger against such violent apes...after all, their lives are more valuable than ours.

JBT to Serfs: Resist and Die

When we last left Patrick Lynch, he was telling us no one had any business with hollow points except those professional enough.

Here's the latest from Liberty-Lynchin' Pat:

"We need to make it clear that if someone lifts even a finger against a police officer, their life could be on the line."

Right. We all know your lives are more valuable than ours.

We sure wouldn't want any mere citizen lifting a finger against these former members of your union, would we, Pat?

Or this guy.

Or this one.

Or all of these...

I'm lifting a finger, Pat. Guess which one?

NY Cops Call For Hollow Point Ban

"Our mission is to stop violent felons," said Patrolmen's Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch. "There is no reason for anyone else to have that ability."

Do you get the feeling this creature must have devoured some of his weaker litter mates while in utero?

How does a nation conceived in liberty produce such monstrous deformities?

We're the Only Ones Animated Enough

Pat Lynch isn’t a cartoon character, although he does his best to come off that way. As police unions, separate from all other public sector unions, have come under attack as being singularly problematic when it comes to excising the cancer of bad individual cops from the force, Lynch does his best Wile E. Coyote routine by throwing teachers unions, inter alia, under the bus. [More]

I'm glad I'm not the "only one" who sees the cartoonish aspects of Liberty Lynchin' Patrick.

Profiles in Courage II

"People have gotten to know him here personally in Rhode Island," Lynch said. "People here respect the fact that he's courageous enough to deal with this in the public eye, which is very difficult."

Right. "Courage." What a way to spin "He got caught."

First Rep. Patrick Kennedy says he consumed no alcohol, then he says he doesn't remember anything. If he doesn't, then how does he know? And why does the hostess at the Hawk and Dove, who says she saw him drinking, not want to give her name? Kinda makes you wonder why someone from the working class would fear the men behind the man described as a hero to them.

We hear all kinds of excuses, from it's the pills to the "Kennedy Curse" to blaming it on his genes. The establishment media has him covered, ginning up sympathy by explaining how such conditions affect "millions". And now, he's wearing his admission to rehab like Teddy wore his neck brace.

Former Louisiana governor, the spectacularly corrupt (Kennedyesque?) Edwin Edwards, is reported to have said the only way he could lose his election was if he was "found in bed with a dead girl or a live boy." So of course Kennedy's government-addicted constituents will continue to back him.

But all this is to be expected. Here's the real crime, being committed right under our noses: The Capitol Police are "investigating" their own, that is, the fox is in charge of the henhouse case. We learn they "have taken disciplinary action against a watch commander for the handling of Rep. Patrick Kennedy's car accident..."

OK. Why isn't he identified? And what "disciplinary action."

As I wrote when this story broke:

Time for an independent investigation--separate [those involved] and put them under oath. Let them know prosecutions will follow lies.

Somebody gave the word to give Kennedy a pass.

Who was it, and how high up did the orders come down from?

Don't expect to see this revealed, though. Such demands will stay in the realm of obscure blogs and kept safely away from an American consciousness that mostly wouldn't care anyway.

And this degenerate, lying mental defective will emerge as a champion of those who can't control themselves, and continue his crusade to control those of us who can.

We're the Only Ones Choked Up Enough

A disgraced patrolman convicted in one of the most notorious abuse cases in city history — the 1994 chokehold death of an unarmed Bronx man who was tossing a football in the street — has chosen a new career path: motivational speaker and self-defense trainer.

Per his website:

Francis X. Livoti was a New York City Police Officer for fifteen years and a union official in the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association for the last nine of those years.

The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association? Oh yeah, the guys whose president, Patrick T. Lynch advocates:

"We need to make it clear that if someone lifts even a finger against a police officer, their life could be on the line."

It's so refreshing these days to find people who mean exactly what they say.

And as for Livoti?

"I served my time. I have a right to make a living."

Uh, not quite.

Livoti was first tried in a non-jury trial in the Bronx on a charge of criminally negligent homicide. A judge ruled prosecutors didn't make their case, despite testimony by the medical examiner that Baez died of asphyxia caused by choking...The officer was kicked off the force in 1997 when police officials ruled he used an illegal choke hold. A year later, a federal jury convicted him of violating Baez's civil rights. The city later paid the Baez family $3 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit.

What do you think the chances are for a judge to fix criminal charges and the city to pay the civil settlement if a non-LEO had done this to one of NYC's finest?

Oh, that's right--lifting a finger is a death sentence. Never mind.
