Mullins Embarrasses Himself

Sergeants Benevolent Association President Ed Mullins over nearly two decades in office has shown himself to be a thoughtful, smart man when the mood strikes him. But there is also an impetuous side of him that on occasion turns him into the Yosemite Sam of union leaders: both guns blazing and inclined to shoot himself in the foot, among other places.

That was why it wasn’t a complete surprise when, appearing on John Catsimatidis’s radio show Dec. 15, he contended that the murder of Tessa Majors could be explained by saying, “What I’m understanding is that she’s in the park to buy marijuana. And you think about that, we don’t enforce marijuana laws anymore.”
