New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)Ray Kelly and Patrick Lynch are often at odds After all, the former is a “boss,” the New York City police commissioner, while the latter represents the average street cop for the PBA, the city’s largest police union But the crime-fighting duo are also the Irish face of New York City law enforcement The NYPD is not nearly as Irish as it used to be, but to have a guy named Kelly running things, and a guy named Lynch representing thousands of officers illustrates how Irish the NYPD remains READ MORE
