Trial for sarges’ union big

The bombastic boss of the NYPD’s sergeants union — who is facing potential discipline after calling a lawmaker a “first-class whore” and a city official a “bitch” — can stand trial over his offensive social-media posts, a judge ruled Thursday.

Sgt. Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, is facing three internal charges, two for offensive language and one for abuse of authority, over his scandalous posts.

Mullins sued for an injunction to stop the internal disciplinary process back in June, arguing “his speech was protected by the First Amendment and that he was speaking in his capacity as SBA president on a union platform.”

Lawyers for the city argued Thursday that the sergeant still must obey the patrol guide — even when acting in his role as union head.

Judge Vernon Broderick sided with the city and dismissed Mullins’ argument, saying that potential suspension or firing does not constitute “irreparable harm.”

Mullins called then-congressional candidate Ritchie Torres a “first class whore” in September. Months earlier, Mullins called thenHealth boss Dr. Oxiris Barbot a “b----h” over COVID supplies.
