New York City’s police union will continue challenging a controversial anti-profiling law despite Mayor Bill de Blasio’s decision to drop the city’s claim, the organization said Thursday.
The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association (PBA) lawsuit over the Community Safety Act (Local Law 71 of 2013) mirrors one the city lodged last year. De Blasio said in a statement Thursday he will abandon the suit brought by his predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, in the waning months of his administration (See Complaints filed by the Mayor and the PBA).
