Detectives' union files ethics complaint against state pol over 'anti-police' tweets about NYPD
Detectives’ union files ethics complaint against state pol over ‘anti-police’ tweets about NYPD funeralThe NYPD detectives’ union has filed an ethics complaint against a state Assembly member who blasted cops for going mask-less after the funeral of slain Officer Jason Rivera — and for liking a tweet that compared cops with Nazis.
The Detectives Endowment Association said Monday it’s seeking an official sanction of Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou for her Twitter tirade, accusing her of lying about members of the NYPD.
Last week, Niou quote-tweeted a video posted by lawyer Scott Hechinger that depicted NYPD officers waiting for the subway without wearing masks and accusing them of “steal(ing) subway fare” by walking through subway exit gates.
“It honestly takes a lot to take a heartbreaking tragedy and a family’s moment of mourning and turn it into a frightening show of intimidation for the whole city and be a massive health risk to every New Yorker. But they somehow did it,” Niou wrote.
