NEW YORK—As the NYPD reevaluates its policies on enforcing social distancing, the largest labor union representing officers calls for an outright end to such enforcement.
The New York City Police Benevolent Association (NYC PBA) has argued that vague and often mixed messages from city officials are tarnishing the image of officers as they attempt to enforce their mandates. It comes after a video surfaced online depicting an officer violently arresting a man who allegedly violated social distancing measures. The officer in question is currently under investigation.
