This message was sent today to employee's of the New York State Police by Superintendent Keith M. Corlett.
To the public: We respect your right to peacefully protest.
We understand you are hurting. We understand you are angry. We are too.
The majority of law enforcement are people who want to make a difference and care for those in the community we serve. That was not displayed by a select few last week.
However, it is our job to uphold the law.
Violence will not be tolerated. If violence is shown toward law enforcement, members of the public or in destruction of property, arrests will be made.
