The dramatic exchange between NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Trials Rosemary Maldonaldo and Civilian Complaint Review Board lawyer Andre Applewhite erupted just minutes into the first day of trial for Officers Brendan Thompson and Herbert Davis inApplewhite expressed his dismay over the judge’s motion last week to dismiss the trespassing charge, the most minor rap against the officers, who still face allegations of unjust use of force and failure to render medical aid.
Applewhite repeatedly tried to interject, attempting to argue that the NYPD was to blame for the delay by dragging its feet in releasing bodycam footage from the incident — but was shot down each time by an increasingly frustrated Maldonaldo.“I will not be seated! CCRB will be heard on this matter!” Applewhite said as the judge slammed her gavel, calling for a five-minute recess to discuss the objections in her chambers.
Kawaski Trawick was Taser by cops in his apartment before shot and killed after he came after them with a knife and stick.Following the initial fireworks, the trial continued by the book with the CCRB lawyers and police union attorney giving their opening statements. The court was then shown videos from the shooting — footage— as well as 911 and radio calls from that night.
Attorneys for the cops argued that the trial was a “political” show that was unnecessary since the cops had been cleared by the former police commissioner, Dermot Shea, the NYPD’s internal force investigations unit and the Bronx DA. After a few minutes of yelling in the hallways, which sparked three 911 calls by a security guard and the super for harassment, Trawick eventually called the fire department, claiming a blaze had broken out.
Davis can be seen pulling his baton, and Thompson immediately grabs his Taser from his holster. Davis can be heard telling his partner not to use the stun gun as he ordered Trawick to drop the knife. Trawick then runs at the officers, yelling “I’m going to kill you all,” and Thompson fires three times, striking Trawick twice.
