Only 2 years in jail?
For almost 20 years, Ed Mullins served as the head of one of the largest police unions in America. Now, the former president will spend two years behind bars for perpetrating fraud against the Sergeants Benevolent Association, which represents the 13,000 active and retired sergeants of the New York Police Department, reports CBS News. Mullins was sentenced Thursday in a Manhattan federal court for stealing $600,000 from a union fund between 2017 and 2021, after prosecutors laid out a case on how he’d taken the money and used it to pay for luxury personal items and meals at fancy restaurants, among other things, per the AP.
NY1 reports that Mullins—who took in a salary of about $250,000 before retiring in late 2021, per his attorney—was able to siphon off the funds by filing hundreds of fake expense reports. “Mullins publicly vowed to protect the interests of the thousands of active and retired sergeants that he represented,” US Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement. “But behind the scenes, Mullins stole from the SBA and its members, treating the SBA as his personal piggy bank.” “Behind closed doors, he was a thief, a liar,” added Assistant US Attorney Alexandra Rothman, per the AP. Mullins’ home and office at SBA headquarters were raided by the FBI in October 2021, and he resigned from the SBA and police force soon after.
“My regret cannot be put into words,” Mullins, 61, said in court Thursday.
Ya, he regrets getting caught.
Unions are just another layer of corrupt management.
Should have made a generous donation to the democrats and everything would have just vanished.
Should I be surprised?

$600,000 for two years in prison. That’s seems to work.
I once talked to someone who had been the head of internal affairs for a western State Police agency (not California). He told me that he was once at a conference of IA chiefs. He was asked by some from the eastern US what type of things did he usually investigated. He told them complaints of the use of foul language by officers. They said they usually investigated things such as burglaries committed by on duty officers.
