<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The PBA (police benevolent association) which represents 1000,s of uniformed officers kicked off this year's election cycle with a mobile billboard truck.  The Billboard's first stop was Chinatown and lower Manhattan represented by CM Christopher Marte. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The truck's scrolling massages displayed displeasure at CM Marte for his calls to "defund" police and continued membership in the "progressive caucus' which lost half it's members several months ago. The progressive caucus has come under fire recently for it's lax policies on crime and are blamed for handcuffing the police which endangers NYers. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Future targets for the rolling billboard are districts represented by other council members in the progressive caucus. </p>
