Police union boss says bail reform would turn NYC into ‘The Purge'


New York City will descend into lawless free-for-all for criminals — similar to the movie “The Purge” — when the new bail reform goes into effect, a police union official said.

“New York state is becoming a revolving door for criminals,” SBA President Ed Mullins said on 970 AM Sunday morning to John Catsimatidis. “Law enforcement is going to be out there holding this bag of crap when it starts. The judges are going to get the blame when they start releasing people back into the streets.

“Basically what we got is a free-for-all. There was a movie The Purge, this is the beginning of it.”

The elimination of cash bail has come under fire from law enforcement in the city. District Attorneys from the five boroughs — as well as NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill — have all come out against the reform saying it puts the public at risk.

Mullins echoed those sentiments Sunday, calling the bill “dangerous to police officers and the citizens they are out there to protect.”
