The New York Daily News reports:
The head of the union that represents New York City police sergeants resorted to nasty name-calling of a Bronx Councilman on Friday for demanding an independent investigation into a possible NYPD work slowdown.
“This is what a first class whore looks like,” screamed the message sent from the Sergeants Benevolent Association’s Twitter account, which linked to a post with Councilman Ritchie Torres’ photo. “Meet LYING RITCHIE.”
Councilman Ritchie Torres, an openly gay Democrat who recently won a primary for Rep. Jose Serrano’s Bronx Congressional seat, called the attack from the Sergeants Benevolent Association “homophobic” and “unhinged.”
Mullins last appeared on JMG when he did two interviews with Fox News with a QAnon mug perched on a shelf behind him. Before that, he made news here for sending a racist video to thousands of officers.
The @SBA is a bona fide hate group masquerading as a union. The racism, misogyny, and homophobia of Ed Mullins gives @realDonaldTrump a run for his money. https://t.co/mS8R7HW5lW

Correction: @SBANYPD. I intended to refer to the NYC hate group, not the small business agency.

If this is the way a police union talks about an elected official almost certainly headed for Congress in January, how do its gun-carrying members treat New Yorkers? https://t.co/l5tDt64luR
