With the NYPD facing a gigantic staffing crisis, the head of the police union is waging war against what he calls the "anti-cop caucus" of the New York City Council.

Police Benevolent Association Pat Lynch is demanding lawmakers stop enacting police reform bills that, he says, are compromising public safety.
