On Sunday, New York City’s AM 970 host John Catsimatidis spoke with NYPD Sergeants Benevolent Association President Ed Mullins on his “The Cats Roundtable” program and the two discussed the state of law enforcement in the United States.

You really can’t blame the officer anymore because the department and law enforcement nationwide has been demoralized.”
