Eric, handsome Korean War Vet, Cancer Survivor victim of just a few NYPD officers harassing him with ticketing that is wrong. Eric likes many NYPD officers at the 1st Precinct just not being harassed and ticketed
Eric is 79 years old. He is handsome. He walks with a huge limp. Walking is clearly very difficult for him. If I could I would get him in to physical therapy right away. Many of the good souls at the 1st Precinct treat him with respect and kindness well deserved.
Yesterday he was the victim of harassment and wrongly ticketed along with others. He went down to CCRB. I went with him and made sure my letter to Commissioner Kelly and the complaint number went with Eric's info.
He is such a good man and even helped the NYPD catch a criminal a few years back by Union Square. He is a great looking guy but when he walks it breaks my heart so see how difficult it is for him. I have such respect for our Veterans. Apparently Michael Rawson the manager of The Mercer would come out and be rude to the Veterans as well as take special pleasure in calling the NYPD who responded as if they worked directly for Rawson and were on his payroll.
After leaving CCRB I went to Internal Affairs.
