Thank you @CMPiSanchez for joining the 50 elected officials! Trial must move forward with ALL charges as planned #FireThompsonandDavis
Council Member Pierina Sanchez@CMPiSanchez17 Apr 2023
Proud to join 50+ elected officials calling on @NYCMayor & @NYPDPC to prevent last-minute changes by NYPD to misconduct charges against Officers Thompson & Davis in the case of Kawaski Trawick. Any proposal to remove charges is a gross attempt to evade accountability.

Majority of @NYCCouncil + citywide, boro & state electeds signed on to this letter over *the weekend* bc it's so outrageous. Kawaski Trawick was a Black gay man who should be alive. Discipline trial starts Mon. Not the time for NYPD to consider tossing 1 of the cops' charges.

Disciplinary trial starts in a week, and it must continue with ALL charges including illegal entry of #KawaskiTrawick’s apartment. @NYCMayor & @NYPDPC you have the power. Allow trial to move forward with ALL charges and #FireThompsonandDavis

Officers Thompson & Davis should have been fired yrs ago for illegally entering #KawaskiTrawick's apt & killing him. 1 week before the cops’ trial & NYPD is still playing games. @NYCMayor and @NYPDPC keep the illegal trespass charges! #FireThompsonAndDavis

“Just the idea that the NYPD is considering dismissing any charges at this late stage is outrageous.” - @Loyda_Colon @NYCMayor & @NYPDPC ALL charges must stand! #FireThompsonandDavis

It’s not right that at the 11th hour, the NYPD would try to drop the illegal entry charge before the trial even begins. @NYCMayor @NYPDPC we have the facts! #KawaskiTrawick was alone cooking in his apartment when officers Thompson & Davis arrived and escalated at every turn.

#KawaskiTrawick was cooking in his home where he should have been safe. NYPD Officers Brendan Thompson & Herbert Davis entered, armed, for no reason, tasered & killed him. That’s a crime! @NYPDPC @NYCMayor DON’T drop the illegal entry charges! #FireThompsonAndDavis

Outrageous that NYPD would consider dropping illegal trespass charge against cops who killed #KawaskiTrawick. Another ploy to protect Ofcs Brendan Thompson & Herbert Davis from discipline after 4 yrs of obstruction. @NYCMayor + @NYPDPC keep all charges! #FireThompsonAndDavis
Alex Vitale@avitale12 Apr 2023
4yrs since NYPD killed #KawaskiTrawick and they are still protecting the officers. We must get them out of mental health response.

In NYC, to discipline cops for misconduct after 18 months, misconduct has to have a “crime equivalent”. Illegal trespass is a crime & NYPD is not above the law! @NYCMayor + @NYPDPC DON'T drop the trespass charge! #FireThompsonAndDavis for #KawaskiTrawick

OUTRAGEOUS. On the 4 yr anniversary of #KawaskiTrawick’s murder, NYPD wants to drop charges for illegal entry, when it is clear from body camera footage officers Thompson & Davis broke chain and entered Kawaski’s home. @NYCMayor @NYPDPC charges must stand! #FireThompsonandDavis

#KawaskiTrawick was murdered in his home like my son #RamarleyGraham. It took me half a decade to get cops out of the NYPD. What the NYPD, Mayor & PBA put us through to protect dangerous cops is evil. @NYCMayor @NYPDPC dont drop the trespass charge #FireThompsonAndDavis
