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. Mayor Eric Adams Jessica S. Tisch charges must stand! #FireThompsonandDavis

🚨Outrageous: NYPD may toss 1 of multiple misconduct charges on officers who killed Kawaski Trawick. Thank you to 50 electeds who sent urgent letter this morn for Mayor Eric Adams & Jessica S. Tisch to stop NYPD from tossing charges in last moments b4 April 24 trial. #FireThompsonAndDavis


TY Adrienne Adams: “It’s outrageous & deeply concerning that the NYPD is considering the dismissal of misconduct charges against Officers Thompson and Davis for their killing of Kawaski Trawick". Speaker Adams full statement is below & here: justicecommittee.org/post/50-nyc-el…


Video shows Officers Brendan Thompson & Herbert Davis illegally entered #KawaskiTrawick home, escalated at every moment & killed him. Mayor Eric Adams & Jessica S. Tisch: #FireThompsonAndDavis

"I'm very concerned by this recent move by the NYPD to consider tossing charges the week b4 the discipline trial is set to begin" TY Queens Borough President Donovan Richards for speaking out for Kawaski Trawick & urging Mayor Eric Adams & Jessica S. Tisch to do right - let all charges against Thompson/Davis stand.


New Yorkers deserve to be safe in their own homes. Officers Thompson & Davis ilegally entered #KawaskiTrawick’s apartment, tased, and shot him—they deserve to be fired! Mayor Eric Adams Jessica S. Tisch #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. Mayor Eric Adams Jessica S. Tisch we have the facts! #KawaskiTrawick was alone cooking in his apartment when officers Thompson & Davis arrived and escalated at every turn.


“Just the idea that the NYPD is considering dismissing any charges at this late stage is outrageous.” - Loyda Colon Mayor Eric Adams & Jessica S. Tisch ALL charges must stand! #FireThompsonandDavis


#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! Jessica S. Tisch Mayor Eric Adams 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. Mayor Eric Adams + Jessica S. Tisch keep all charges! #FireThompsonAndDavis

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! Mayor Eric Adams + Jessica S. Tisch DON'T drop the trespass charge! #FireThompsonAndDavis for #KawaskiTrawick

Disciplinary trial starts in a week, and it must continue with ALL charges including illegal entry of #KawaskiTrawick’s apartment. Mayor Eric Adams & Jessica S. Tisch you have the power. Allow trial to move forward with ALL charges and #FireThompsonandDavis

50 NYC electeds to Mayor Eric Adams + Jessica S. Tisch: do NOT drop misconduct charge for illegal entry against NYPD Officers Brendan Thompson & Herbert Davis. They broke into #KawaskiTrawick’s home and killed him. #FireThompsonAndDavis justicecommittee.org/post/50-nyc-el…


Thank you to 50 NYC electeds who sent a letter to Mayor Eric Adams + Jessica S. Tisch TODAY calling on them to immediately ensure ALL misconduct charges stand against NYPD Officers Brendan Thompson & Herbert Davis for killing #KawaskiTrawick. #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. Mayor Eric Adams and Jessica S. Tisch keep the illegal trespass charges! #FireThompsonAndDavis


50 elected officials agree — ALL charges including illegal entry must stand. Mayor Eric Adams Jessica S. Tisch use your power and allow the trial to move forward as intended! #FireThompsonandDavis

Thank you Council Member Pierina Sanchez for joining the 50 elected officials! Trial must move forward with ALL charges as planned #FireThompsonandDavis

Majority of New York City Council + 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.
