Today a bullet almost claimed the life of a Suffolk County Police Officer.
Every single day, Police officers put on the uniform knowing that danger can come without warning. They run toward what most people run from.
Because of this officer's bravery and the bravery of those around him a killer is off Suffolk's streets.
The irony of the Governor being on Long Island to say crime is down yesterday and a Suffolk cop shot today is not lost on us. While we appreciate her commitment to providing funding and resources to police what we really need is tougher laws. Laws that would allow us to more effectively deal with mental illness and criminal violence.
We stand with our brother officer, and we extend our full support to his family as he recovers.
