## Resource

Three NYPD officers from Chelsea’s 10th Precinct are at the center of a scandal fueled by a toxic group chat riddled with racist slurs, swastikas, and mocking emojis. Two were fired, one retired to avoid termination — all after exposing the group’s behavior. Vincent Cavitolo was the main instigator, while Sean ORiordan, who posted offensive content including a swastika on a patrol car and mocked Indian accents, chose early retirement. Meanwhile, MD Alam, who reported the chat and was later fired, is suing Commissioner Jessica Tisch, arguing he was targeted and punished unfairly — despite a departmental judge recommending a lighter penalty. Tisch stood by her decision, citing Alam’s lack of remorse and the severity of his messages, even as he claims to be the whistleblower caught in the crossfire.
