Angry Bronx police union delegates stormed out of a meeting today after demanding the ouster of their leader over his handling of the NYPD ticket-fixing scandal, sources told The Post.
In a pre-planned protest, more than 50 Bronx delegates from the Patrolmens Benevolent Association stood up at the union’s montly meeting and asked PBA president Pat Lynch to step down, sources said.
One delegate spoke for the entire group, which made its move just after the meeting started.
“Nobody wanted to be singled out,” a source said. “So they picked one person, and they all stood behind him in support as their request was read.”
“They demanded Pat Lynch resign, because they feel like he hasn’t supported them over the ticket-fixing investigation like they think he should have,” said the source. “He really didn’t do much for them in the two years it was going on. ”
But Lynch — fresh off an uncontested election earlier this year — retorted that he intended to stay put, another source said.
“He said he wasn’t going to resign, that he’d fight it out,” said one source.
Added another: “He basically said he’s been the president for 12 years, and he has a plan in action.”
After the heated confrontation, the delegate group left the room enmasse, according to sources.
