A police union representing roughly 13,000 active and retired NYPD sergeants tweeted a 20-second amateur porn video as part of a message criticizing the implementation of congestion pricing on Monday.
The Sergeants Benevolent Association posted the porn clip, which showed a person performing oral sex on a man inside the 116th Street B and C train station in Harlem.
"Our political leaders have the AUDACITY to implement congestion pricing to repair subways & quality of life is a total DISGRACE. Thank you Mayor Deblasio and Governor Cuomo. You have done nothing but ruin a city & the Police Commissioner remains your puppet,” the SBA tweeted along with the video.
The SBA did not respond to request for comment about its decision to post amateur porn on social media. The NYPD did not respond to the SBA’s criticism of NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill.
It remains unclear what toll increases for Midtown Manhattan drivers have to do with oral sex in a subway station.
The Eagle obtained screenshots of the tweet with the video, but has decided not to publish the full image of sex act. The video had at least 482 views as of Monday afternoon, but the SBA either deleted it or it was taken down by Twitter after users reported it.
“Obviously, I am going to report this video. Posting it is actually a crime. Cops should know better. I am try at all times to respect and to be supportive of police, police unions, and organized labor,” tweeted user @xhdc in response to the now-deleted video.
“You should be ashamed of posting filth like this,” added @arveela.
It’s just the latest inflammatory social media offering from the SBA. The union, led by Ed Mullins, has a history of bizarre tweets.
On May 4, 2018, the SBA responded to a tweet from the Civilian Complaint Review Board that reminded people that the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects them from illegal search and seizure.
The CCRB’s message accompanied a photo of teenagers with the Star Wars-inspired slogan “#MaytheFourth Amendment protect you.” The SBA went on the attack.
“You are all a disgrace. You sit on your ass and target the NYPD all while growing up on the nipple of what’s easy,” the SBA tweeted. “You have no clue what a NYPD officer does yet target us and disparage our integrity. One day you will dial 911 when evil is at your door and thank god for the NYPD.”
Hundreds of people responded to criticize the SBA’s response last year.
