ALBANY, N.Y. — Police are looking into the source of a disturbing banner tied to an overpass.
Police received a call Sunday that a banner reading “more dead cops” was hanging over a busy highway, News 10 reported. Authorities are unsure of how long it was up, but it was removed shortly after police received the call.
Retired police Capt. John Cooney said whoever hung the sign is “ignorant.”
“They put the sign on the overpass, but it’s insignificant. The police are resilient,” he said.
Members of the community said it’s dangerous to have anti-police rhetoric out there.
“It’s absolute horror,” area man Johnathan Falk said. “We’re talking about people who put their lives on the line every day for strangers for not a lot of money, and they’re getting so disrespected. It’s terrible.”
Police said they are “looking into the matter.”
