NYPD union chief resigns after FBI raid
The Hill ^ | 05 October 2021 | JOSEPH CHOI

Posted on 10/05/2021 10:31:07 PM PDT by blueplum

Ed Mullins, president of the New York Police Department (NYPD) Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) union, resigned on Tuesday evening, less than a day after the FBI raided the union's headquarters.

The Tuesday morning raid was part of "an ongoing investigation," the FBI said. The law enforcement agency has not yet disclosed further details on what precipitated the raid.

"The nature and scope of this criminal investigation has yet to be determined. However, it is clear that President Mullins is apparently the target of the federal investigation," the SBA executive board said in a letter to its members. "We have no reason to believe that any other member of the SBA is involved or targeted in this matter."

Looks like impropriety of some sort.

I detest unions, but these days it’s really hard to buy
into anything the FBI does any longer.

Until they go after the funders of ANTIFA and BLM, and start
to hold those people on the street responsible for their actions,
they’ll never have my respect again.

Reminds me of the part in the Godfather when they scheduled a meeting of the five families.

A corrupt Federal prosecutor will be able to come up with something.

The FBI is so incredibly corrupt these days, it must be assumed that a raid has only a political, not a criminal, motivation.

I believe this is what newsmax talked about tonight0- the Fella posted a photo of the arrest of deblasio’s relative- that’s all he did- was tweet that she had been arrested- and now the FBI raided his home?

Police Union Leader Ed Mullins “WILL NOT BE SILENCED” By Internal Investigation

The Internal Affairs investigation will plumb those and other comments by Mullins to see “whether [his] views undermine his capacity as a sergeant,” according to a government source who spoke with Gothamist. Though his duties are primarily union-related, Mullins remains a sworn officer, and collects a taxpayer-funded salary of $133,524.

The investigation itself was prompted by a Mullins tweet “declaring war” on the mayor, in response to two shootings involving police officers in the Bronx. Following that outburst, de Blasio said Mullins should face “consequences,” but did not elaborate on what that would entail.

“I am not afraid of Mayor de Blasio,” Mullins wrote on Facebook. “I fought the crack war in the 1980’s with five years in this department all while Bill de Blasio was in Nicaragua as an ardent supporter of the ruling socialist government, the Sandinista National Liberation Front.”

Newsmax said it had to do with the niece being arrested or some relative- that’;s when the FBI came after him-

Language used in a strong way at the same time as a weak way. It is clear that apparently he’s a crook. It is either clear that he is a crook or apparent that he is a crook.

I guess it was about deblasio’s daughter-

“The union is headed by controversial Sgt. Ed Mullins, who is facing two departmental trials for releasing an arrest report of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daughter and for foul language

I hadn’t looked at it that way, but you and another person
did. You could be on to something there.

Maybe because Trump visited police on 911 in NYC. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/09/11/donald-trump-visits-new-york-city-police-and-fire-departments-on-9-11/

Now, who going to believe that any union personnel or a union boss would commit a criminal act?
Snicker...
