Ex-Sergeants Benevolent Association President Ed Mullins filed for retirement after being stripped of his gun and shield Wednesday, one day after the FBI raided the union’s headquarters and his Long Island home.

A source said the federal investigation centered on suspected misuse of union funds. The Sergeants Benevolent Association cannot provide an attorney for Mullins because the firebrand sergeant is being investigated for stealing from the union, sources said.

Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said the Mullins probe began as a joint effort between the feds and NYPD Internal Affairs.

“The NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau and the FBI work jointly on a task force. As a result of that work, you saw some of the investigative powers being exercised yesterday,” Shea said at a morning news conference. “It is an ongoing case, and I will not comment any further.”

1. They "resign" so they can still get their fat pension.

5. Yes, that is a big problem. Guilty cops resign and as a result prevent

complete justice from reaching them. He likely knows that he will be convicted when tried, so he moves to lock up his pension.

2. Whatever they have on him must be iron clad

Wonder how soon he’ll be asking for a deal or ratting out any other corrupt folks.

3. A story as old as time.

4. I hope that

They can put his pension on hold until this case goes thru the courts. If he is found guilty, he should be stripped of his pension.
