SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 25 – Edward Mullins, the
trash-tweeting President of
the NYPD Sergeants Benevolent
Association, has sued
Commissioner Dermot Shea and
the City of New York for
threatening to terminate his
status as a Sergeant as
retaliation for his
tweets.
Mullins'
complaint, filed after hours
on Friday, June 25 into the
docket of the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York where
Inner City Press found and
immediately reported it,
quotes Ritchie Torres that
"The racism, misogyny and
homophobia of Ed Mullins gives
Real Donald Trump a run for
his money."
Mullins also
notes his dust ups about Mayor
De Blasio's daughter, PPE and
responses to protests. He
seeks an injunction and
attorney's fees.
