Police unions may think Rev. Al Sharpton belongs nowhere near City Hall, but they have no apparent problem with the reverend marching across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
Patrick Lynch, the president of the Patrolmens Benevolent Association, defended Mr. Sharptons right to march across a bridge without a pedestrian walkway, despite blasting the reverend all this week.
If the powers that be decide that the march will go on, our members will be there to police it and make sure everything goes smoothly and make sure everyone gets to say what they want to say, their beliefs. Thats fair and thats what this country is about, Mr. Lynch said on The Ride Home with Pat Kiernan and Rita Cosby on WABC Radio yesterday.
